Extrusion International 5-2026

48 Extrusion International 5/2026 FAKUMA 2026 right plasma technology for each application. To this end, the com- pany has developed the PCU (Plasma Control Unit) in the past. The PCU monitors and regulates key process parameters and detects deviations in the plasma process early on. This ensures consistent treatment results for both Openair-Plasma and AURO- RA-Plasma. Consequently, users gain greater transparency into the ongo- ing process and a better foundation for stable, documentable production workows. Experience Plasma Live and Test Your Own Components Another highlight of the Plas- matreat booth is the live plasma demonstration. There, visitors can experience the effects of plasma for themselves. They can bring their own components or material sam- ples to evaluate with application specialists on-site. Concrete examples demonstrate how plasma works on surfaces and how the wettability of various plastic materials can be enhanced. Various analytical methods can be used to make the effects of plasma treatment visible. This transforms technical possibilities into tangible solutions for real-world applica- tions. Focus on Sustainability and Recycling As the importance of recycled plastics increases, so do the de- mands place on their further pro- cessing. Different material com- positions can complicate printing, bonding, or coating processes. Plasma technology can activate and prepare surfaces for subse- quent process steps. In certain ap- plications, it can replace chemical or mechanical pre-treatment methods. This improves process reliability and contributes to more resource-ef - cient manufacturing. The Right Process for Every Challenge "The requirements for plastic surfaces are becoming increasingly speci c. With our broad technology portfolio, we can address a variety of challenges and select the most cost-effective process for each ap- plication,' says Norman Haas, Sales Manager for Germany at Plasma- treat GmbH. Visitors to Fakuma 2026 are in- vited to discuss their current chal- lenges directly with Plasmatreat’s application experts and experience the technologies rsthand.
