Textiles
Plasma treatment is widely used in the textile industry to enhance the properties and functionality of fabrics. Plasma alters the surface properties without affecting the bulk material, improving the adhesion of dyes, coatings, and finishes, leading to more vibrant colors and longer-lasting treatments. It can also modify the surface energy of textiles, making them more hydrophilic or hydrophobic, depending on the desired application. This is particularly beneficial for producing water-repellent fabrics or enhancing moisture-wicking properties in activewear.
