Equipment for generating high-vacuum oxygen plasma
Materials manufacturing and research
Oxygen plasma at low pressure (high vacuum) reacts with the molecules deposited on the surface of the workpiece, breaking them down and converting them into volatile compounds.
Oxygen plasma is particularly effective in removing organic compounds such as fats, oils and polymers from the surface. It is also a powerful disinfectant. Moreover, it can be used for etching processes and to activate the OH groups of oxide surfaces, changing their hydrophilic properties.
