What is plasma etching machine cleaning technology and how effective is its application in the plastic and rubber industries!

Plasma etching technology utilizes advanced glow discharge reaction to activate the reaction gas into active particles such as atoms or free radicals. These active particles diffuse to the location that needs to be treated, and then react with the etched substance to form volatile reactants. This corrosion method is also known as dry corrosion.

Plasma etching technology uses plasma, a highly ionized gas composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles, to etch the surface of materials. An imported vacuum pump is used in a sealed container to achieve the corresponding vacuum degree. As the gas becomes thinner, the distance between molecules and the free movement distance between molecules and ions increases. Under the action of an electric field, these ions collide to form plasma, which is highly active and removes atoms or molecules from the material surface, achieving etching of the material surface.

Plasma etching cleaning technology is widely used in various industries such as semiconductor, aerospace, medical, plastics, printing, display screens, electronic circuits, and mobile phone components, and has irreplaceable applications. Today, please follow in the footsteps of the editor to gain a deeper understanding of the application of plasma etching cleaning technology in the plastic industry and its effectiveness

Because acrylic plastic materials are non-polar, their effectiveness in printing, bonding, coating, and other untreated states is very poor, and they cannot even be made. Using plasma etching technology to treat the surface of the product can enhance surface adhesion and bonding strength. However, in the plasma etching cleaning process, factors such as process gas, gas flow rate, power, and processing time can all affect the cleaning process. If these parameters are selected reasonably, the treatment effect will be effectively enhanced. Here are the common application areas and effects of plasma etching technology that the editor will explain to you?

1. For example, on surfaces such as metal ceramics and glass, organic substances and oxide layers are usually present. Before bonding, welding, and CVD coating, 

plasma etching machines need to be used to obtain a completely clean and oxide free layer.

2. Automotive industry: Before gluing the sealing rubber strips of car doors or ABS plastic instrument panels, plasma cleaning and etching technology is chosen to replace traditional flame treatment processes. This not only cleans surface residues, but also improves surface adhesion, reduces energy consumption, improves production efficiency, and saves costs.

3. Electronic packaging: After plasma etching, the surface reliability and adhesion of lithium batteries (PP layer) can be enhanced to meet the high reliability requirements of new energy batteries.

4. Medical equipment: Plasma etching machine can effectively remove organic pollutants, release agents, oil stains and other impurities on the surface of plastics and rubber, while forming an active layer on the material surface, significantly improving surface energy.

5. Plasma cleaning body etching technology significantly improves the adhesion performance of plastics and rubber by changing the chemical properties and microstructure of the material surface.
