Understand before you invest
In-depth articles, a decision guide and technical documentation on plasma surface treatment. Enough to frame a project — and defend it internally — before you even write to us.
Plasma, without the jargon
Three articles written for a process engineer or a production manager, not for a physicist. Freely available, no form required.
Plasma surface treatment, explained
How plasma modifies a surface at the nanoscale to improve adhesion, wettability and cleanliness.
Atmospheric or vacuum plasma
Cost, in-line integration, cycle time: the two families of processes and the cases where each one wins.
Improving adhesion before bonding, painting or printing
Surface preparation methods ranked by effectiveness and cost, and how to measure the result.
Atmospheric or vacuum: the decision guide
A weighted decision grid, a decision tree, a total cost of ownership breakdown and the 12 questions to ask a supplier before you sign.
To go further
The technical data, the entry points by use case and the external evidence — gathered here rather than scattered through the menu.
Specifications by system
Nine systems, one datasheet each: footprint, required utilities, communication protocols. The PDF datasheet is offered for download on the system's page as soon as it is published.
Surface energy test inks
Check the state of a surface yourself, before and after treatment, to ISO 8296 and ASTM D2578. The cheapest control tool there is for putting numbers on an adhesion problem.
The six plasma applications
Cleaning, wettability, adhesion, thin film, anti-fog, sealing. Each page describes the mechanism, the materials involved and how to validate the result.
Plasma in your industry
Eighteen sectors, from medical to packaging: the constraints specific to each, documentation requirements and treatment cases already met.
Press coverage and distinctions
Twenty-one dated, sourced mentions since 2020 — Radio-Canada, Les Affaires, Acfas, Mitacs, Université Laval. Useful for documenting a supplier file.
Consulting and R&D
When documentation is no longer enough: characterisation on real parts, feasibility testing and transfer to your production line.
A question that is not covered anywhere here? The most frequent questions — how activation ages, the documents provided for your audits, confidentiality — are answered at the bottom of the contact page. Otherwise, write to us: we answer every enquiry within 48 business hours.
Reading has its limits.
Have your part tested.
No article will tell you how your material reacts. A trial will. Send us a sample: you will know within 48 hours whether plasma solves your surface problem.
