Benefits of nanocoating

Over 25 years of plasma excellence

Since our inception in 1993 Europlasma has been one of the world’s leading innovators in the design and production of low pressure plasma technologies.
Europlasma has the unique advantage of being fully vertically integrated: we design and produce all of our machines, technologies, chemicals and application in house in our headquarters in Belgium.

What is Plasma?

Plasma is the fourth fundamental state of matter after solid, liquid and gas. At this stage of matter it exists in the form of a gas of ions and free electrons and is highly electrically conductive.Although plasma is abundant in the universe, natural occurrences are relatively rare here on Earth. Lightning, static electricity, and auroras are the primary sources of natural plasma on Earth. Plasma can be generated in different ways, our sister company in France, CPI, specialises in atmospheric plasma. At Europlasma we specialise in low pressure (vacuum) plasma.

Plasma cleaning, etching, functionalisation

Since the 1990’s Europlasma has been a leading manufacturer of low pressure plasma systems for various surface treatments:       
-  Cleaning: removal of molecular contamination layers from a surface
- Etching: removal of surface material (several nm up to 1 µm)
- Activation: chemical modification of surface prior to gluing, painting or bonding
