MEDICAL
Advance Sterilization Product Equipments, A low low-temperature sterilizer offers faster processing time, enhanced performance and terminal 'Self Ready' sterilization, A system for next generation low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilizer for processing medical devices and surgical instruments. It has a significant faster, 1 hour processing time and enhanced cycle allowing a reduction in inventories of expensive instruments while prolonging the life medical devices. Of course, people will continue to experience the benefits they have come to expect, safety, efficacy and superior materials compatibility.
- Glass pipe tube in a dialysis filters are plasma treated to improve flow of blood to avoid clotting.
- Catheters are treated to enhance liquid flowability
- Preparation for adhesive bonding needles to syringe hubs
- Biocompatibility, The activation of surface to prepare them for cell growth or protein bonding is another important application of plasma modification. Examples of in vitro uses of plasma treatment include preparation of petri dishes and micotiter plates for laboratory experiments or drug-production purposes.
- EX. Nature (Lightning) - Ionization of the air atmosphere especially near the ground where it activates some species of mushroom bacteria spores growth.
PLASTIC INDUSTRY
Surface modification using gas plasma is a versatile process, with system on the market for treating from small components like hubs or balloons up to very large and complex substrates, from fibers, nonwovens, wovens, and paper to plastic foils, plastic polypropylene to some metal holders and handles.
METAL WORKS
The application of Vacuum Arc, Also known as a cathodic arc, the vacuum arc is a device for creating a plasma from solid metal. An arc is struck on the metal, and arc's high power density vaporizes and ionizes the metal, creating a plasma which sustain the arc. The vacuum arc is different from high-pressure arc because the metal vapor itself is ionized, rather than an ambient gas/ The vacuum arc is used in industry for creating metal and metal compound coatings.
Often metal surfaces becomes contaminated with greases, oil, waxes and other organic compounds as well as oxide layers. For some procedures such as sputtering, varnishing, gluing, printing and coating, bonding, soldering and brazing, it can be fundamentally important to use absolute clean and oxide-free surface.
SEMICONDUCTORS WAFER FABRICATION
Plasma etching is currently widely used in the fabrication of silicon-based circuits. The process is used to produce high-resolution patterns in many of the thin layers of the circuits and to selectively remove masking layers, it is based on the following sequence of microscopic reaction steps. A plasma process is used to transfer lithographically defined patterns into a thin layers of a SILICON material.
