- Plasma coating can be used for the application of a Nano-coating material onto a surface of a substrate like a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).
- You can change the wetting energy of the PCBA surface to highly hydrophobic (water repellent) by applying a Nano-coating via the plasma.
- Plasma technology is based on a simple physical principle. Matter changes its state when energy is supplied to it. Solids become liquid. Liquids become gas. If additional energy is then fed into a gas by means of electrical discharge it eventually ionises and goes into the energy-rich plasma state.
- The Nano-coating material is injected into the plasma via a jet nozzle. The plasma excites the coating material and this increases the coating materials reactivity. The plasma coating is then applied to the surface.
- Due to the excited nature of the coating in the plasma, the material coverage is optimised and the bonding to the surface is improved.
