EQUIPMENT & ACCESSORIES CATALOG EDITION V PLASMA CLEANERS
What is... Plasma Cleaning?
Plasma cleaning is a proven, effective, economical and environmentally safe method for critical surface preparation. Plasma cleaning with oxygen plasma eliminates natural and technical oils & grease at the nano-scale and reduces contamination up to 6 fold when compared with traditional wet cleaning methods, including solvent cleaning residues themselves. Plasma cleaning produces a pristine surface, ready for bonding or further processing, without any harmful waste material.
How plasma cleaning works
Ultra-violet light generated in the plasma is very effective in the breaking most organic bonds of surface contaminants. This helps to break apart oils and grease. The second cleaning action is carried out by the energetic oxygen species created in the plasma. These species react with organic contaminants to form mainly water and carbon dioxide which are continuously removed (pumped away) from the chamber during processing.
If the part to be plasma cleaned consists of easily oxidized materials such as silver or copper, inert gases such as argon or helium are used instead. The plasma-activated atoms and ions behave like a molecular sandblast and can break down organic contaminants. These contaminants are again vaporized and evacuated from the chamber during processing.
Plasma cleaning is suitable for: • hyper-fine cleaning of metal surfaces
• surface preparation of plastics & elas- tomers
• surface preparation and cleaning of ophthalmic and general glass products
• ceramics • removing oxidation from surfaces
Before Plasma Treatment Contact Angle: 111.95 ± 0.88˚
zzzHPT-100 Benchtop Plasma Cleaner
Overview
The HPT-100 is a microprocessor-controlled benchtop plasma treatment system which is ideally suited to surface activation, cleaning, and modification of a wide range of materials including polymers, metals, glass, and ceramics.
The HPT-100 is able to handle a wide range of gases for optimized treatments, including air, oxygen, hydrogen, argon, nitrogen and many others.
Benefits
z Compact benchtop unit z User friendly TFT interface z Recipe store z Fast treatment time z Precise & repeatable z No hazardous emissions
Plasma Environment
The HPT-100 features a 100mm diameter plasma process chamber in stainless steel with vacuum compatible materials throughout.
The proprietary, high stability HPS plasma generator is continuously variable over the entire 0–100W power range rather than being limited to discreet levels, delivering much finer control when processing delicate materials.
Process Control
The 5.7 inch color touchscreen provides a rich, user- friendly interface. Variables such as gas flow rate, pressure, power level and plasma processing time can be freely set and then stored to produce a fully interlocked process cycle from a single keypress.
A handy status display and end of process audible alarm informs the user of every step in the process.
Repeatable & Reliable
After Plasma Treatment Contact Angle: 10.94 ± 0.67˚
With precision digital mass flow controllers and integrated pressure gauge, the HPT-100 delivers unmatched reliability and repeatability by removing common errors in gas flow and gas type settings which will be familiar to users of equivalent equipment that utilize manual needle valves.
