Plasmatreat is an international leader in the development and manufacture of atmospheric plasma systems for the pretreatment of substrate surfaces. Whether plastic, metal, glass or paper – the industrial use of plasma technology modifies the properties of the surface in favor of the process requirements. Subsequent processes include bonding, painting, printing or gasketing. Openair-Plasma® technology is used in automated and continuous manufacturing processes in almost every industrial sector. Examples include the automotive, electronics, transportation, packaging, consumer goods and textile industry, but the technology, cost and environmental advantages of the plasma technology are used in medical technology and in the renewable energy sector as well. The Plasmatreat Group has technology centers in Germany, USA, Canada, China, and Japan. With its worldwide sales and service network, the company is represented in more than 30 countries by subsidiaries and sales partners. | Plasmatreat is the international leader in the development and manufacturing of atmospheric plasma systems for the pretreatment and modification of substrate surfaces.

As aircraft construction increasingly relies on high-performance composite materials such as carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) and thermoplastic composites (TPCs), our plasma technologies enable improved stability and long-term reliability of these components while reducing costs. Our Openair-Plasma® atmospheric systems prepare large-format parts for downstream bonding and painting by activating surfaces with precision, ensuring consistent wetting and adhesion. They also allow for selective, robot-guided inline pretreatment, bringing automation and quality to production lines. To replace hazardous chromate primers traditionally used for corrosion protection, we offer the PlasmaPlus® process, a dry plasma polymerization coating that enhances surface preparation and long-term bonded joint stability without toxic chemicals. For complex geometries and gap-critical parts, our Aurora low-pressure plasma technology provides deep, reproducible pretreatment, enabling superior cleaning and activation of composites like turbine blades before bonding to metal hubs. We offer large-capacity systems capable of treating sizable aerospace components, including honeycomb structures, contoured CFRP parts, and wing-tip assemblies. Additionally, plasma release coatings eliminate solvent-based release agents, reducing manual cleaning, cycle times, and VOC emissions—improving quality and sustainability across aerospace manufacturing.
