New Plasmatreat surface pretreatment system at SKZ in Halle
The German Plastics Center SKZ has recently made a Plasmatreat system available for surface pretreatment at its location in Halle an der Saale. The system is already regularly used in the courses and research projects held here.

The system is used for practical exercises in courses on adhesive bonding technology
The SKZ creates synergies from research and professional training. The close linking of the subject areas combined with a strong proximity to industry create good conditions for this. However, both education and research require modern equipment that meets industrial standards. Here, the institute relies on experienced partners, such as Plasmatreat from Steinhagen. The SKZ in Halle recently received a new system for surface pretreatment using plasma.
When plasma comes into contact with a wide variety of materials, it alters the surface properties and can optimize the entire processing procedure. Plasma pretreatment significantly improves printing, bonding, painting or sealing, for example, or even enables the joining of materials that are actually incompatible.
The Plasmatreat system is used very successfully in practical exercises for surface pretreatment in the courses on adhesive bonding technology. Carina Heinze, site manager in Halle and responsible for training and further education in the area of composites and bonding, emphasizes: "We were excited by the technology, which offers an adequate solution for many unsolved material issues in the plastics sector. That's why we decided to equip our bonding technology center with a system from Plasmatreat. The cooperation with the specialist for atmospheric plasma technology is a real win-win situation: our participants learn about the technology and carry this know-how into the companies." Magnus Buske, Head of Research and Development at Plasmatreat GmbH, adds: "The SKZ is one of the most renowned institutes in Germany and is unique in Europe in terms of its scope. We expect the fruitful cooperation to lead to new solutions for plastics processing that point the way to the future, e.g. in the use of recycled materials."
SKZ is looking forward to exploring the possibilities of the facility and continuing to convey educational content in a vivid and state-of-the-art manner.
