Low-pressure plasma technology is a process with which special functional groups can be deposited on surfaces. This allows a defined coating effect to be achieved on a wide variety of materials.
This plasma polymerization - also known as PECVD - is a coating process and is particularly suitable for coating plastics due to the low thermal load on the substrate. However, it can also be used on a variety of other materials such as metal, glass, ceramics, semiconductors and textiles. In general, plasma-polymerized coatings are highly cross-linked in three dimensions. They are therefore very thermally and chemically resilient.
Of particular interest for industrial surface technology processes is the wide variety of coating properties that can be achieved thanks to the numerous variable process parameters.
