Textiles made functional by plasma
Hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, dye uptake and coating adhesion for technical fabrics and nonwovens.
The surface challenge
Giving a textile a function — absorbing better, repelling water or holding a coating — usually goes through wet chemistry, heavy on water and energy. And the effect is not always uniform across the full width.
Plasma treats the fibre at the surface, dry, without changing the core of the material or its hand feel. Depending on the process, you can target hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity.
What plasma changes
Hydrophilic functionalisation
Improve fibre absorption and dye uptake.
Hydrophobic effect
Repel water without weighing the textile down.
Coating adhesion
Fix coatings and laminations on technical fabrics.
Dry treatment
Cut water consumption compared with wet processes.
Frequently treated materials
This list is indicative. The vast majority of polymers, metals, glasses and composites can be treated with DBD plasma. The best way to confirm your case is to send us a description of your part and your objective.
