A fluor- or silicon polymer based coatings can functionalise woven and non-woven textiles into durable water and oil repellent materials.

AGC Plasma Technology Solutions is offering the process and industrial equipment to realise such treatment by an environmental friendly PECVD treatment. Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) is achieved by introducing reactive gases between parallel electrodes creating the plasma. The source developed by AGC Plasma offers a sustainable alternative to wet chemical processes.

Efficient and high durability

REACH compliant

Low energy consumption

No water consumption

Magnetron sputtering allows to deposit thin films of metal layers, oxides and/or nitrides on large area's to functionalise their surface. Potential applications can be found to deposit:

- (infra-red) reflective layers,

- decorative coatings,

- electrical conductive layers,

- anti-bacterial and anti-viral coating,

- electro magnetic shielding,

- ....

Magnetron sputtering is a well established PVD technology allowing for large area coating at reasonnable costs. 

AGC has abundant experience with this technology for the coating of glass surfaces and is now developping this technology for textile functionalisation.
