Large-Area APPLD Equipment Platform from Dow Corning Plasma Solutions


Dow Corning Plasma Solutions offers two equipment options suitable for the processing of materials in flexible web or fiber/filament form:

  • SE-1100 LabLine™ System:  An R&D, test, pilot production, or narrow web production tool for webs up to 320 mm (12.5 inches) wide
  • SE-1000 AP4 System:  A pilot or mainstream production tool for webs up to 2.5 m (98 inches) wide

These large area plasma systems carry out surface engineering at room temperature by passing the material through a volume of non-thermal equilibrium, cool plasma (energetic, ionized, glowing gas) generated by applying radio frequency voltage across two opposing parallel plate electrodes separated by ~10 mm.

They operate at atmospheric pressure in an open-perimeter mode suitable for continuous, reel-to-reel processing. The LabLine system is designed as a standalone system with its own unwind/rewind, while the AP4 system is designed for in-line, continuous production.

For more information about our Large-Area APPLD (atmospheric pressure plasma liquid deposition) equipment options, contact us.

Also available is our Jet APPLD equipment option which generates jets of coating plasma for processing 3D and rigid sheet materials, and flexible material in fiber/filament form.
