Automated vs. Portable Contact Angle Testers: Which is Right for Your Lab?
If your lab regularly performs high-throughput, repeatable contact angle measurements for R&D or quality control, an automated contact angle tester offers unmatched precision and efficiency. However, if you require a fast and versatile solution for testing large samples or surfaces on-site, a portable contact angle tester may be a more suitable choice. This guide compares […]
Surface Preparation for Potting and Encapsulation in Electronics
Potting and encapsulation protect sensitive electronics from moisture, vibration, and chemicals. However, without proper surface preparation, even the best materials can fail. Contamination, dust, and weak surface energy often lead to bubbles, delamination, and poor bonding. The fix? Plasma treatment for electronics. In this guide, we explain why potting compounds fail, how plasma cleaning improves […]
Eliminate Delamination in Composite Manufacturing with Plasma Surface Prep
Say Goodbye to Weak Bonds: The Real Fix for Delamination Delamination is one of the most significant challenges in composite manufacturing, particularly in high-stakes industries such as aerospace, automotive, and the sports equipment sector. Poor surface preparation is often the culprit. The solution? Plasma treatment for composite applications. This innovative process strengthens adhesion, removes surface […]
Plasma Treatment for Food Packaging: Enhancing Print Quality and Seal Integrity
Cold plasma treatment is helping food packaging manufacturers address two significant issues: weak ink adhesion and poor heat seals. By treating plastic films, such as BOPP and PET, with cold plasma (a low-temperature ionized gas), lines achieve clearer prints, stronger seals, and improved compliance. It enhances performance without changing materials or slowing production. In this […]
