PlasmaGreen

Cold or non-thermal plasmas are an energy efficient and tunable way to induce chemical reactions at surfaces and interfaces or in gases. The dielectric barrier discharges PlasmaGreen applies have an enormous number of applications in science and technology ranging from surface activation of plastic foils to facilitate printing or bonding to medical applications in desinfection or wound care.

Process-integrated quality control and plant control are becoming increasingly important in industrial production. More parameters need to be recorded in order to be able to achieve this. Measurement of temperature and pressure of the roll coolant at the inlet and outlet, precise measurement of the film thickness at each point of a foil during operation and measurement of the degree of roll contamination are some examples.

PlasmaGreen was founded by scientists and engineers at Clausthal University of Technology in 2018. We were fascinated by the power and versatility of cold plasmas. The next step was to turn our scientific results into energy- and cost-efficient products serving our customers. Two years ago we were awarded with and funded by the EXIST program. After starting off with plasma cleaning of rolls, we learned from the community about other problems existing around processing of plastic foils and started to adress them. R&D and production are located in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany.
