INDUSTRY HOTLINKS @ www.rubberworld.com.Plasma Coatings Inc. is a custom coating applicator ap·pli·ca·tor n. An instrument for applying something, such as a medication. applicator, n a device for applying medication; usually a slender rod of glass or wood, used with a pledget of cotton on the end. , providing long-lasting release coatings. Using a combination of technique and materials, Plasma Coatings is able to replace fluorocarbons, sleeves, tapes and film for cleanability and release. The company is presently serving such industries as paper, adhesives, rubber and several others. Coatings are applied with techniques that heat particles to a semi-molten state and then propel the coatings onto a prepared substrate. While the coating particles are exposed to high temperatures, the surface being coated will not exceed 200 [degrees] F. This is typical of what the industry refers to as "cold welding cold welding n. The welding of two materials under high pressure or vacuum without the use of heat. ." Bond strengths of up to 12,000 psi are generated, dependent upon the material and method of application. While coatings provide desired surface properties, they do not change part strength or integrity. Plasma Coatings is a custom applicator of specialty surface materials. Using a combination of techniques and coatings, the company is able to improve processes requiring release/non-stick, traction, traction and release, low friction, cleanability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and conductivity conductivity /con·duc·tiv·i·ty/ (kon?duk-tiv´i-te) the capacity of a body to transmit a flow of electricity or heat; the conductance per unit area of the body. con·duc·tiv·i·ty n. 1.
