"Plasma is a real gamechanger in the metal can industry. We are opening the way to a significantly more environmentally friendly process for printing and coating metal packaging - with highly efficient processes," emphasizes Christian Buske, CEO at Plasmatreat. 

The special technology for treating surfaces makes it possible to replace conventional solvent-based inks and varnishes by using digital printing with UV-curing systems. This not only protects the environment, but also makes processes more efficient. 

Plasma, or fluorocarbon polymer (FCP), is a nanolayer on the internal surface of the canister. This is different to traditional coatings, as plasma is not a substance applied directly onto the interior can surface – it is a change to the molecular structure of the canister interior, covalently, and inseparably, bonded to the aluminium surface. With the treatment limited to the internal surface of the can, label adhesion and filling line performance are not compromised.
