Plasma treatment is a unique process widely used across many industries to clean or modify the surface of materials such as metals, plastics or glass. You might be wondering how long the effects of having had plasma treatment would last. The response may depend on a range of things, including the material and how the treatment is performed. For instance, when a plastic part is plasma-treated to enable paint to adhere better, the surface effects do not fade away quickly; done properly, they can last for weeks or even months. But if the treated surface is handled by hand with dust and dirt, the efficacy could diminish more quickly. At Minder-Hightech, we understand that it is essential for our customers, because the Plasma Treater effect lasts long. We can snooze a bit, because as we have learned over the years: handling carefully and selecting the right product does make a difference. 

How to Extend the Durability of Plasma Treatment Effects? 

It’s not necessarily easy to keep the plasma treatment functioning for an extended period of time, but you can do so with some effort. The quality of the cured parts depends to a great extent on how well they are stored. For instance, once a plastic sheet has been plasma-treated, if it is exposed to dust or oil residue from someone's fingers there can soon be deterioration of the surface with which the improved properties were initially achieved. For that reason, a lot of Minder-Hightech’s customers place their treated items in clean, sealed bags or containers immediately after treatment. That prevents dust and oils. As well, there should be as short an interval as possible between theVacuum plasma treatment machine and a subsequent step, such as painting or gluing. The longer you allow it to set in, the greater likelihood that the treated surface can wear down. Occasionally customers attempt to use the treated parts after a week or more and they just make things worse. One other way to keep the effect strong is not to touch the treated area with one’s clean hand. Your natural oils from your skin will coat the surface and take away all of the treatment benefits. We had numerous examples of just a simple glove preserving the plasma effect for days. Temperature and humidity are also factors. In a high-humidity or hot environment, the surface may mutate faster. Minder-Hightech suggests that clients reasonably control these situations if possible. Finally, when you use plasma treatment machines from Minder-Hightech, it means that you get uniform results every single time and produce high quality parts. Our devices have been moulded to generate a steady plasma which is capable of preparing the surface effectively. A high quality plasma treatment ensures the effect is long-lasting, and thereby saves time and money for your projects. 

How to get quality Plasma treatment that lasts?

Whether you are looking to process small parts or large sheets, Minder-Hightech has solutions that best suit your requirements. When only the best will do, when you need long-lasting effectiveness from plasma treatment, head on over to Minder-Hightech. 

What Are the Universal Problems on Plasma Treatment Stability? 

One of the ways to do this is with plasma treatment, a special process that changes the surface of materials, so they are either cleaner or better at sticking to other things. At Minder-Hightech, we are asked in many cases how long does the effect of plasma last. The fact is the duration of how effective this treatment lasts varies and there are many common things that the length of effectiveness can be influenced by which you might not have realised. First and foremost, what gets dumped matters a great deal. Effect of plasma treatment is more durable in some materials than others. For example, plastics can deteriorate the treated layer faster than metals because the two types of materials respond to air and moisture differently. Second, how the material is stored after treatment makes a big difference. If the processed material is stored in clean, drying environment, free of dust and oil, the plasm effect can remain longer. But if left in a humid or unclean area, the treatment may wear off faster. Third, the age of treatment is important. Plasma treatment is most effective when the material can be used soon after treatment. After prolonged exposure, however, the surface may slowly relax back to its original condition, or while the advantages of the plasma treatment can be dissipated. Another major issue is the post-treatment disposition of TTIW. Contact of bare hands with the treated surface or exposure of the treatment to chemicals may diminish its effectiveness. This is because the oil and dirt from hands, or chemicals, can be coated on the surface treated with plasma and reduce its stick ability or cleanliness. Last but not least, the actual quality of the plasma treatment is a concern. At Minder-Hightech, we have the latest machines in hands of skillful technicians that can assure such treatment is performed correctly. A bad plasma treatment will never hold up as long, regardless of the material or storage circumstances. Having an awareness of these common problems allows users to understand why the effects of plasma treatment can vary over time, and how best to maintain good performance from treated materials. 

Where can wholesalers find information on the lifespan of plasma treatments? 

Wholesale clients who purchase plasma-treated materials want to know how long the treatment will hold up so they can get a handle in their work. At Minder-Hightech, we get this need – and that’s why we offer simple, useful information about how long plasma treatment lasts. Buyers will be able to see that information in a number of ways. First, we provide full reports that demonstrate tests on other materials, and for how long the effects of plasma are still present in various conditions. Those reports detail the influences of things like temperature, humidity and storage on how the treatment works. This data helps buyers select the right materials, and when to use them after treatment. Second, Minder-Hightech’s website contains a section dedicated to downloading guides, charts and case studies about the durability of plasma treatments. These are simple information resources created to assist consumers become educated about how the plasma process works and how long it stays strong. Third, purchasers can communicate directly with our customer service staff. Our specialists give customized recommendations according to the customer's requirements, materials used and storage situation. This allows buyers to receive the most precise information for their own circumstances. Another way we likes to stay in touch with you is, by participating at industry trade shows and webinars where we will present our latest research on plasma technology. These events are available to those interested in purchasing wholesale so they will be kept up-to-date with the latest discoveries re: treatment longevity. With these inputs, wholesale buyers get a sense of how long the effects of plasma treatment can be expected to last, enabling them to make intelligent buying and usage decisions. At Minder-Hightech, we are dedicated to giving the buyers of our system reliable data that will result in maximum benefit from plasma-treated materials. 

Which Post-Treatment Care Will Prolong the Benefits of Plasma Treatment? 

Good care after plasma treatment is essential to maintain the treated material effects for a long time. Here at Minder-Hightech, we show our customers some simple steps to protect and prolong results of the treatment. An important technique is to not touch the treated surface with skin. Skin oils and dirt can adhere to the surface, and that can impair how well the plasma treatment functions. Use gloves, or the material’s edges, to keep the surface clean and activated. Another important action is to manage the storage of treated materials. They should be stored in clean, dry area with minimal dust and moisture. In moist or soiled surroundings the resulting effects of plasma treatment surface fades away more rapidly. Covering the material with clean tarp or storing it in closed containers will prevent contamination with air-born particles. And it is preferable to use the plasma treated materials right after treatment. The longer you wait, the more the surface restores itself.
