3D Plasma Treaters

Do you have a product that needs superior bonding results? Are you looking for a safe and efficient way to treat hard-to-reach surfaces? If so, then you should consider using Corotec’s 3D Plasma Treaters.  3D treaters were designed to treat those products with curved or shaped surfaces, as well as flat surfaces.

Plasma treating is the latest and most excellent way to restore and improve the surface finish of parts. There are a few different types of plasma systems on the market, but they all in similar fashions. We’ll go through the many types of plasma jet treatment we offer and what each one can do for your company.

Why Pre-Treat Surfaces?

Most plastics are naturally “non-bonding” polymers: left untreated, they resist inks, coatings, and adhesives, driving manufacturers toward aggressive primers or corrosive chemical etches. Surface pre-treatment solves this by modifying only the outermost molecular layer so liquids wet, anchor, and stay—without altering bulk properties. Traditional corona treatment uses an electrical (plasma) discharge to raise surface energy on films and flat parts, improving wettability and creating a stronger bond line; it’s highly effective for web processes. Plasma treatment, by contrast, ionizes a controlled gas stream to clean, micro-etch, and functionalize surfaces—and can even tune electrical characteristics—making it well-suited for precision applications and complex geometries.

What is Plasma-Jet?

Unlike corona, Plasma-Jet offers greater control and geometry flexibility. Engineers can dial in gas chemistry, power density, and exposure time to achieve specific surface functionalities on both flat substrates and intricate 3D components—recesses, edges, and internal features that web-based corona can’t reliably reach. This recipe-driven approach supports stronger, more consistent adhesion, with closed-loop monitoring for repeatability.

Because its reactive species are delivered in a directed, low-current gas stream, Plasma-Jet achieves high surface activation with significantly lower thermal load than corona, protecting heat-sensitive substrates from warming or distortion.

For hard-to-reach medical and device features, Corotec’s pulsed Plasma-Jet techniques extend these benefits even further. The result is a powerful, flexible way to improve bonding of inks, adhesives, and coatings on difficult-to-treat surfaces—without resorting to harsh chemicals.

Advantages of using 3D Treaters

There are several advantages to using Corotec’s narrow press treating systems, including better bonding outcomes, space-saving design, and safe operation.

Plasma-Jet corona treatment eliminates the need for open flame treatment, chemical surface preparation, and sanding techniques. This typically results in a environmentally safer option as well as a more efficient option for treating surfaces that are difficult to reach.

In short, using Corotec’s treating systems is a great way to improve the bonding of your product while also being safe and efficient. If you’re looking for superior results, then plasma treating is the way to go.

The different types of 3D treaters Corotec offer

The following are three different types of 3D treaters Corotec offers.:

• Pulsed-Plasma™ System. This system is designed specifically for treating hard-to-reach surfaces of medical and other devices, such as the insides of the plastic hubs that hold hypodermic needles and dispensing nozzles, to allow superior adhesion of the corner to the nozzle.
• Plasma-Jet® Treatment System. This system is compact and features from 1 to 4 head output designs for treating larger areas, or passing the same product under multiple heads for better adhesion effects at faster speeds.
• Compact Plasma-Jet®. This is the newest plasma jet treating system. It features a compact design with a smaller head output that makes it perfect for applications where space is limited.

No matter your needs, Corotec has a plasma treating system that will work for you. Our products are designed to be safe and efficient, and they offer superior results.

How businesses are using 3D Plasma Treaters

There are many different ways businesses are using Corotec’s treating systems. Some of the most popular applications include:

• Treating medical devices to allow for superior adhesion of coatings or inks
• Removing contaminants from surfaces
• Improving the electrical properties of materials
• Modifying the surface of a material to improve its adhesion to a substrate

PMM notes that engineers sometimes use jet plasma treatments to fix problems with adhesion. This happens when traditional chemical adhesives can’t combine different materials or when a business wants to reduce the amount of chemical waste. Engineers also use plasma treatments to improve the electrical properties of materials.

Overall, businesses are using treating systems in a variety of ways. Whether you’re looking to improve the bonding of your product or fix a problem with adhesion, 3D treaters are sure to meet your needs.
