What is Plasma?

Plasma is the fourth state of matter, created when a gas is energized and becomes ionized, containing free electrons and charged ions. It is electrically conductive, highly reactive, and found naturally in lightning, the sun, and auroras. In industry, plasma is widely used for surface treatment, electronics, lighting, and medical technologies.

 

Plasma Technology

-What is Plasma?

 

The state of matter describes the physical form a substance takes under specific temperature and pressure conditions. As temperature rises, atomic bonds weaken—solids melt into liquids, and liquids evaporate into gases. When a gas absorbs even more energy, it becomes ionized: electrons are stripped from atoms, forming a new state of matter known as plasma.

 

Simply put, plasma is an "activated" gas composed of ions, free electrons, and neutral particles. It exhibits unique properties such as electrical conductivity, high reactivity, and sensitivity to electromagnetic fields.

 

Plasma is the most abundant state of matter in the universe, naturally occurring in lightning, auroras, flames, and stars—including the sun. Artificial plasmas are also common in everyday life, appearing in neon signs, welding arcs, plasma TVs, and camera flashes.

Fields of Application

Where can plasma systems from Naen Tech be used?

 

Plasma technology is applied wherever surface properties need to be modified or materials need to be joined with precision and reliability. It enables targeted cleaning, activation, etching, or coating of surfaces without damaging the base material.

 

Today, plasma systems are firmly established across nearly all industrial sectors—from automotive and medical technology to electronics, packaging, textiles, and aerospace—with new applications emerging continuously.

 

As a future-oriented technology, plasma treatment allows for the versatile modification of a wide range of materials, making it ideal for numerous use cases, including but not limited to:

 

♦ Improving adhesion before bonding or coating

♦ Cleaning surfaces at the micro/nano level

♦ Activating non-polar materials like PP or PTFE

♦ Functionalizing surfaces with hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties

♦ Enhancing biocompatibility of medical implants
