Industries that Need Powder Treatment
Industries may need powder treatment for automobiles, furniture, ships, etc. However, powders are a difficult material to clean or activate due to their three-dimensional geometry and large surface area. Powder treatment with plasma systems is a successful way to clean the powder and to create a hydrophilic surface. It is also possible to make the powder acquire more hydrophobic properties. A major reason that a company would want to replace its current methods with
plasma treatment is because of the environmentally-friendly nature of plasma treatment. Due to legislature and public relations, the lack of dangerous waste disposal makes plasma treatment a highly sought after method of cleaning, activating, etching or coating materials.
