International institutes using PlasmaPlus® nano-coating for new research projects
In close cooperation with international research institutes and universities, we have been able to advance a large number of research projects. Plasmatreat developed the PlasmaPlus® nano-coating process for industrial manufacturing of functional surfaces in close cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Applied Materials Research (IFAM). VDI (German Association of Engineers) awarded the "German Industry Award 2012" for the innovative PlasmaPlus® coating technology at the Hanover Fair, the world´s most prestigious industrial technology event.
PlasmaPlus® enables the development of many completely new functional coatings, material combinations and manufacturing processes. For new material experiments and parameter determination Plasmatreat introduced the laboratory system Plasmatreater AS400.
The French Research Institute CREPIM uses this laboratory system to develop fire-resistant materials and formulas. For EFFICOAT and PROTECT-SELECT, two joint projects of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the PlasmaPlus® technology is being used to research new material combinations in light weight construction and to develop highly efficient corrosion protection coatings.
