Friction is not a detail, it's a challenge

Plasma tech for
Friction

Friction is not a detail, it's a challenge. From automotive to mechanical industry, from seals to wearable tech, getting the right grip is key to performance, durability, comfort and energy efficiency.

Too much friction? You get wear, heat, and wasted energy.
Too little? Things slip, leak, or fail.

Plasmapps focuses on smart materials, surface control by means of innovative cold plasma processes to keep friction working for you, not against you. Through advanced plasma surface treatments, Plasmapps tune the friction coefficient, reduces wear, optimizes grip, and extends the life performance of rubber and polymer components.

Plasmafrict

Plasma Technology for Friction Control

PlasmaUnstick

Plasma-Engineered Hydrophobicity for Next-Gen Surface Protection

Technical Benefits

Reduced coefficient of friction

Decreases surface friction between moving parts, reducing wear and improving mechanical efficiency.

Lower wear and extended component lifetime

Minimizes wear and surface damage, increasing component durability and reliability.

Excellent uniformity and adhesion

Ensures uniform surface coverage and strong adhesion for long-lasting performance.

Applicable on multiple substrates (metals, polymers, elastomers)

Suitable for a wide range of materials, including metals, polymers, and elastomers, with excellent performance on both conductive and non-conductive substrates.

Functional Benefits

Reduced energy loss due to friction

Improves the overall energy efficiency of mechanical or sliding systems.

Enhanced tribological performance

Smoother surfaces, minimizing stick-slip effects.

Easy-to-clean and non-stick properties

Especially valuable in components operating in dirty or fluid-rich environments (e.g., food processing, medical, or packaging applications).

Economical & Environmental Benefits

Longer service life

Reduced maintenance and replacement costs.

Reduced or eliminated need for lubricants

Leading to cleaner, more sustainable operation.

Eco-friendly process

Low-pressure plasma coating produces no solvents or liquid waste.

Improved product reliability and quality

Adding value for certification or marketing purposes.
