PlasmaEtch PE-200 Plasma Surface Treatment and Etching System is used for surface activation and etching with a variety of materials. Plasma etching cleans organic contamination from metal, ceramic, or plastic surfaces, which enhances the adhesive and bond strength of such surfaces. Plasma can be used to clean and etch odd shaped parts with hard to reach areas. The plasma process can be readily controlled and may be repeated safely, ensuring uniform results.
