Surface-discharge plasma source
Uniform surface treatment
Plasma covers the whole electrode surface at once. Flat parts and flexible films are treated evenly, with no scanning.

Dimensioned footprint, required utilities, protocols. To pass on to your integrator.
For even treatment, with no overlap
A film before coating
An evenly treated surface gives an even coating. The source treats the full width at once.
Textile or paper in continuous runs
In the roll-to-roll version, treatment happens as the web unwinds. No separate step.
A process to validate in the lab
The bench unit reproduces the same discharge at small scale. You validate before investing.

Even by design
The discharge forms across the whole electrode, not at one point. The result no longer depends on a path or an operator.
Power scales by adding units. You start small and follow the ramp-up with the same equipment.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether this equipment suits my part?
Send us the part. We treat it in our Québec City laboratory. Within 48 hours you get the surface energy before and after, the settings used, and a frank opinion if plasma is not the right answer.
Has my material already been treated?
Materials qualified in the laboratory: [x]. Yours is not listed? That is the most common case. Send us three samples: a measured answer within 48 hours.
Can it be rented before buying?
Yes. You test the equipment on site, with your parts and your operators, before investing. Terms: [x].
What documents do you provide for a customer audit?
The process file: plasma settings, measurement methods, results on your parts and procedures. For regulated markets, it follows your sector's requirements.
And if no configuration fits?
We then design a custom reactor, matched to your material and your throughput. See the custom reactors →

Wide web
Plasma curtain
A continuous curtain across a full width, for panels, sheets or webs on the move. Seven working widths from 60 to 500 mm.

Film deposition
Deposition station
When activating is no longer enough: a 1 to 300 nm functional film deposited by atmospheric plasma, anti-corrosion or anti-scratch depending on the precursor.

The complement
Test inks
A treatment you do not measure is not a process. The calibrated ink tells you in seconds whether the surface has passed the target threshold.

Precise area
Compact torch
A nozzle that blows plasma straight onto the area to be treated, a few millimetres from the part. The most common way to activate a precise area.

Automated station
Turnkey cell
An enclosed cell with a Cartesian robot, plasma source and safety interlocks. You program a path, the station replays it identically.

Precision torch
Cold plasma with a millimetre footprint, for small-area samples and sensitive substrates. It also accepts a precursor.
