Belgium based Europlasma NV, a world leader in the design and manufacturing of low pressure plasma equipment since 1993 is happy to announce that it has installed recently new capacity with several leading electronic device manufacturers.
Nanofics refers to nano-scaled functionalization into the core of complex shaped materials and products. It is Europlasma’s patented and patent pending nanocoating technology platform, first developed by Europlasma in 1993, and applied on industrial scale since 1996.
In recent years Nanofics has become the leading nanocoating technology platform to splashproof electronic devices in the retail market. All over the world Nanofics licensees have set up coating centers to splashproof handheld electronic devices for end customers and/or retail chains. Nanofics retail partners include Hydrowarriors in China, Geckodry in Korea, PhonesPlus in USA, Nanolix in Germany, Drisure in UK, … Several new partnerships are to be announced soon.
At the same time an increasing number of electronic device manufacturers are implementing the Nanofics technology in their mass production lines. Typical products that have the nanocoating technology incorporated are earbuds, headsets, bluetooth speakers, smartwatches, smarthphones and tablets.
Europlasma’s Sales Account Manager Kristof Hoornaert comments, “some manufacturers use the technology to protect specific electronic components against for instance salt mist. Other manufacturers coat electronic subassemblies, or the whole device to achieve water ingress protection from levels IPX2 to IPX7, depending on the device and the level at which the coating is applied. Europlasma has a complete range of plasma coating machines and chemistries to suit every manufacturer’s needs.”
Europlasma’s Managing Director Filip Legein adds, “as the true pioneer in nanocoating technology, we are happy to see that 20 years of intensive R&D by the Europlasma team has resulted in a growing number of markets and applications, such as filtration products, functional textiles, medical devices, and electronic devices. This has created a steep growth in demand which Europlasma is able to meet with a reliable technology platform, running on industrial scale of equipment.”
