Dyne-A-Mite IT CO2 Plasma is said to provide superior surface treatment to improve adhesion on a wide variety of materials. The use of gas or liquid-phase CO2 with atmospheric plasma discharge surface pretreatment technology can remove micron and submicron particulates and hydrocarbon-based contaminations on plastics and metals. Increases surface tension of base substrates. Bonding strength is said to be improved. Is suitable for either initial or final cleaning, and for cleaning applications.
