PRINTED ELECTRONICS
SURFACE TREATMENT OF PRINTED ELECTRONICS MATERIALS
Tomorrow’s technology will be based on high-tech materials being developed today. Newly developed film materials allow for the design of printed circuits, flexible displays, and efficient thin-film batteries, which will form the basis for fascinating new consumer products in the near future.
These materials are ideally suited for plasma surface treatment, which serves to increase surface adhesion before printing electronic circuits or laminating different material layers. Since some of these high-tech materials are extremely sensitive to electric discharges, they require special consideration and processes.
In several project partnerships with universities and corporate development departments, SOFTAL has investigated various approaches to plasma treatment of highly sensitive films. The result is a market-ready process that offers potential-free treatment for even the most sensitive substrates.
CHARACTERISTICS
Adhesion guaranteed
We are proud of our growing global customer base, which includes manufacturers of film production lines, finishers, film producers, and research companies. Naturally, the portfolio of products offered by SOFTAL is just as multi-faceted as our customer base. This is made possible by the modular design of our treatment systems, allowing for customer-specific changes and the rapid development of new systems and processes. This ideal starting point enables us to meet customer demands and achieve results. Guaranteed.
Install and forget
SOFTAL has been part of the corona and plasma industry for more than half a century. Our engineers and developers know what really matters at the end of the production day. Factors like easy maintenance and service, low operating costs, long life, and optimum operator safety are considered early in the development process to ensure maximum user-friendliness and uptime.
Customer-specific interfaces and solutions
The numerous hardware and software solutions provided by our treatment systems ensure seamless integration into customer-specific systems and processes. Starting from proven standard components, our systems can be tailored to suit any material and/or process. We specialize in the surface treatment of your materials, so you can focus on your core business.
Film types
Some film materials require an extremely high-powered plasma discharge to achieve the desired effect, while others are so sensitive to electric discharges that they would be destroyed even by a standard low-power plasma discharge. For every film, there’s a solution – just ask us.
RESULTS
High wettability
Environmentally friendly process
No more wet chemicals
