It’s a wide plasma world

I often struggle to explain what we do here.  When you spend half a day working with advanced aerospace and the other half putting a wood laminate on a plastic toilet seat, it can be difficult to cover the full spectrum of how plasma is used without glazing over a few eyes.  Quite simply put, we work on surfaces.  After that, the story becomes a bit unbelievable.

Cleaning metals?  Sure.  Activating polymers?  Of course.  Why not throw in glass-like nano-coating or restructuring oxide layers?  Already done.  The fact is; there is something plasma can do to improve the properties of almost any material when it comes to bonding.  The same tool that is providing a reliable seal on the majority of the world’s headlights is also being used (with a few tweaks) to stop corrosion ingress on Aluminium and make seamless furniture.  It is powerful and we are still finding new uses daily.

So what do we do here?  Well, we work on surfaces.  And last I checked, there was no shortage of variety.
