Why can PCB ensure the firmness of coating surface after plasma cleaning and activation treatment? Why use plasma cleaning to clean circuit boards?

Many manufacturers often encounter problems when coatings adhere to the surface of parts, such as coating peeling, performance degradation, and surface wear. Plasma cleaning activation is a good choice for producing printed circuit boards. Plasma cleaning technology can not only activate the material surface, but also remove impurities and residues that may remain on the surface of the printed circuit board during production, helping to make the coating surface more uniform and adhesive.

The introduction of low-temperature plasma activation technology into printed circuit board production lines is very beneficial. 

As all components of the PCB are already in place, plasma cleaning activation treatment will increase the surface energy of the PCB, enhance surface adhesion and bonding, and help provide a more uniform coating on the entire printed circuit board.

The plasma cleaning and activation technology for PCB utilizes plasma activation as a treatment for bonding coatings, which has many advantages, as follows:

1. When plasma is not coated during the manufacturing process, weak bonding may occur, which may create gaps in the coating, allowing water and other liquids to penetrate and damage the circuit board. When using plasma cleaning activation, plasma cleaning activation technology is a special process in printed circuit board production lines. Plasma cleaning activation technology can increase surface energy, thereby better adhering to the surface.

2. What is plasma? Plasma is an energy rich gas state that can be used to clean, activate, and modify the surface of etched products to improve their performance. When energy is supplied to a substance, the substance changes its state, the solid becomes a liquid, and the liquid becomes a gas. If additional energy is injected into the gas through discharge, it will eventually ionize and enter the energy rich plasma state, which is the fourth state of the substance.

3. How to use plasma to improve the performance of surface coatings? 

Almost all surfaces can be cleaned, activated, or coated using plasma cleaning technology, including plastics, metals, glass, and composite materials.

That is to say, plasma technology is effective for many different products, and there are two very effective plasma cleaning methods: cleaning the surface to make it 100% pollution-free, with no residue or pollution on the surface. Plasma cleaning technology can be used to change the surface and activate it, making it easier to bond and better adhere to the surface. This is a very practical technology that can improve the surface performance of products.

Why use a plasma cleaning machine to clean and process the surface of circuit boards?

Due to several reasons, firstly, plasma cleaning technology is a good process for surface treatment of printed circuit boards. Low temperature plasma cleaning can clean the surface of circuit boards, improve adhesion, and increase substrate surface capacity.

By changing its surface, low-temperature plasma can activate the circuit surface, making it easier for the coating to bond and have better adhesion to the surface.

Secondly, plasma cleaning technology is a simple, safe, and environmentally friendly technique,
