Relyon Plasma GmbH

Our summer party took place last Friday. We were generously provided with meat and sausages from the grill. The delicious side dishes and desserts were brought by our colleagues. We enjoyed a nice get-together in beautiful weather.

Our sales partner Intertronics virtually cycled over 500 miles from Kidlington to Wiesbaden to support the incredible work of Emmaus UK, a charity addressing homelessness. The Intertronics team pedaled away on two stationary bikes for four days straight (15-18 July, 2024) to cover the distance in honour of this great local cause. Virtually they also visited us at relyon plasma. We are supporting this great campaign with a donation of €250.

On September 17 and 18, relyon plasma will be presenting its PiezoBrush PZ3-i, which is ideal for integration into dosing systems, at the dosmatix in-house exhibition. We will also be giving a presentation about our products. Dosmatix specializes in the material preparation and dispensing process and has partners like us for upstream and downstream process steps: Register now for the in-house exhibition and learn more about dispensing processes: bit.ly/4dhPHAo

Adhesive users are increasingly faced with the challenge of producing mixed bonds of plastics and metals. A common example is the bonding of CFRP with aluminum materials in the automotive industry. Here, atmospheric plasma treatment offers a simple way to improve adhesion that can be easily integrated into any series production process. More information: bit.ly/4ctLjxX

The Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung conducts research into innovative ways of combating viruses and bacteria and their transfer to application. In collaboration with relyon plasma, the disinfecting and sterilizing effect of plasma is now being investigated in infection research using the MediPlas demonstrator. At the beginning of July, a team from relyon plasma handed over the MediPlas demonstrator to Prof. Slevogt's “Dynamics of Respiratory Infections” working group at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig. The aim of the cooperation is to analyze the safety of the application of cold plasma on the human lung epithelium using complex cell culture models. Learn more: bit.ly/4d9k1gD

The PiezoBrush PZ3 is a compact hand-held plasma device that was developed for use in laboratories, pre-development and the assembly of small series. It generates cold-active plasma at a low temperature with a maximum power consumption of 18 W. Plasma is used for highly efficient surface energy enhancement on many materials as well as for germ and odor reduction. Discover further applications: bit.ly/47rRr6V

Five modules are available for the PiezoBrush PZ3 hand-held device and the PiezoBrush PZ3-i integration solution. Both devices achieve the same results, so that preliminary tests can be carried out with the PiezoBrush PZ3 hand-held device before the PiezoBrush PZ3-i is integrated into the system.

In this study, the effect of cold atmospheric plasma on human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, which are the sixth most common type of cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, was investigated. Different types of HCC cells were treated for different durations and a clear change in morphology and cell density was observed. All cells had shrunk significantly. To the study: bit.ly/3XPalU5

One of the most common applications of cold atmospheric pressure plasma is the activation of polyolefins, such as polypropylene (PP), prior to a bonding process. In this comparative study, the influence of cold atmospheric plasma and β-radiation on the surface energy was investigated. The surface energy could be increased for all dose/power settings compared to the reference. Learn more: bit.ly/3SkAvvd

The firmware for our product PiezoBrush PZ3-i has been further developed. All products with the article number 1000700001 are affected by this change with immediate effect. The device is completely downward compatible. In the event of a defect or replacement, devices with the old firmware can easily be replaced by devices with the new firmware.

A consideration of the temperature development during the application is particularly revealing for the question of where the improved adhesive strength of bonds of crystalline thermoplastics after plasma treatment comes from: typical power densities and overrun speeds lead to short-term temperature increases in the substrate surface and the layer close to the surface. This rapid heating and cooling exceeds the phase transition temperature of the polymer in this thin layer. This dynamic temperature profile influences the melting and crystallization behavior of the material, which leads to new phase mixtures near the surface. More information: bit.ly/4dJDu8z

The PiezoBrush PZ3-i cold plasma unit is compact, safe, and efficient, making it ideal for seamless integration into both new and existing production lines. It excels in pre-treating processes like bonding, printing, and laminating, guaranteeing consistent process and product quality. Its compact and durable design allows for swift integration into production lines, whether fully automated or partially automated. Learn more: bit.ly/3ta52By

From today until Friday we are at the Achema in Frankfurt. Visit us at our booth B.51 in hall 4.1 and get to know our product range for the plasma treatment of surfaces! Our colleagues, Christian Bäuml, Markus Trabold and Clemens Birkenmaier are looking forward to your visit.

Our PiezoBrush PZ3 hand-held device was used by a German sports car manufacturer as part of a series of tests on the efficiency of various surface treatments. The aim was to improve the adhesion of a contaminated surface. The PiezoBrush PZ3 was chosen for this purpose due to its handy design and ease of use. To the reference: bit.ly/4bIxThy

The subject of this white paper is the PiezoBrush PZ3 atmospheric pressure plasma jet. The main task of the PiezoBrush PZ3 is the plasma treatment of various materials to increase the surface energy. The increased surface energy improves the wettability, adhesion of adhesives, potting compounds and seals or improves the print quality in a variety of industries. To the whitepaper: bit.ly/3R5ftPJ

Atmospheric plasma is ideal for cleaning and reducing a wide variety of metallic surfaces. The effect can be purely aesthetic and conservational, such as brightening and protecting valuable art objects or jewelry. In other cases, it is important to ensure that contact surfaces are free of oxide and thus achieve a better bonding structure during roll plating, for example. Learn more: bit.ly/3wHgvdV

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is extremely inert. Due to its extremely low surface tension, there are virtually no materials or adhesives that adhere to PTFE. Good adhesion can only be achieved through chemical modification using plasma technology. By treating PTFE with forming gas before further processing in combination with piezo technology, both the surface energy and the wettability of PTFE are significantly increased.
