piezobrush® PZ2 Handheld Atmospheric Plasma Cleaner
The piezobrush® PZ2 has been conceived to be an efficient handheld unit. The plasma handheld device is also very suitable for being used in professional model making, in laboratories and the manual assembly of small lots. Bonding of synthetic materials becomes easier due to surface activation resulting from the impact of cold plasma.
Also the adhesion of coatings in the automotive field of application or on polypropylene is optimized. As a further advantage, prior treatment with the piezobrush® handheld unit increases the bonding strength in the case of epoxy-based adhesives being used for bonding materials, such as glass, GRP, ABS and other synthetic materials. Due to the low thermal stress, treatment of materials conventionally used in model making – such as wood and various kinds of paper – using all-purpose power glue is excellent.
At a maximum power consumption of 30W, cold active plasma with a temperature of ~ 50°C is generated. The piezobrush® stands out due to its low-maintenance construction principle. All individual components are characterized by their long-term durability and do not need to be replaced or maintained.
