Fluorinated Plasma Surface Treatment Industry Opportunities, Demand and Forecasts, 2020- 2027

[Ram Vasekar]

According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global fluorinated plasma surface treatment market is expected to reach around USD 3,071 million with a CAGR of 13.5% from 2020 to 2027 (forecast period). 

Fluorinated plasma surface treatment is a technology that alters surface properties such as wettability, surface bonding, surface energy, and adhesion to fluorinated gas exposure. It is commonly used as a pre-treatment technique for various surfaces such as polymers, glass, ceramics, fibers, elastomers, and metals in various end-use industries. Plasma technology comprises a wide range of applications, making it one of the leading technologies for surface treatment, particularly for industrial applications. There are two kinds of plasma treatment processes which are low-pressure plasma and atmospheric plasma. Low-pressure plasma is the most common method used for the cleaning of contaminated components, plasma activation, etching, and polymer coating. While atmospheric plasma treatment is used where small surfaces of large parts are needed for treatment. Several of the essential purposes of plasma surface treatment are cleaning, surface activation, coating, and surface etching. Plasma cleaning prevents nanoscale contamination of the surface compared to conventional wet cleaning. Plasma surface activation changes the surface of the polymer by adding it to a polar or functional group. Many polymers, like polyethylene and polypropylene, are chemically inert and have weak bonding to other materials. Fluorinated plasma surface treatment, therefore, stimulates polymers that improve their bonding to paints and coatings. Plasma coating is a thin layer of polymer-coated to the surface. This coating either increases the wettability of the surface or makes the surface hydrophobic. Plasma surface etching is a technique used to raise the surface area of the material to a microscopic level. This treatment is used to increase the energy and wettability of the surface. It is mostly used before printing, painting, and gluing, particularly for polymers that require hard bonding chemicals. Fluorinates plasma surface treatment is widely used in various end-use industries such as automobile, textile, medical, optical, aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods.
