The supply chain in pharmaceutical and biomedical industry has shown an increase in matter to modern packaging protection technologies on decay, avoiding the formation of harmful substances but above all to improving eco-sustainable packaging.
In certain classes of products, such as biomedical devices and bio-technologies process' device use, the plasma application is best to obtain high levels of deep cleaning.
Both in the production and packaging phases but also during the entire operating phases, the plasma technology has allowed deep cleaning and activation of the surfaces.
Applying plasma to pre-treat surfaces is capable of supporting them to the assembly, printing and cleaning functions at the nanometric level.
Plasma technology improve the compounds and surface reactions, so the use of the application in packaging operations for the devices envolve optimization regarding surface features for decoration and printing or better still in industrial treatment operations aimed at eliminating residues and release of materials.
The use of plasma in the treatment of glass and polymers for antifog, anti-limestone and unfouling, as well as for the preparation of the surface to accept a decoration with special inks has proven to be able to guarantee the production of efficient materials and the almost total elimination of chemical primerization.
The need to further implement the processes and protocols such as traceability, serialization and anti-counterfeiting, has required increasing potential in operations of printing and packaging where plasma technology proves to be a significant partner.
