Europlasma Showcases Nanofics® Nanocoating Machine to Waterproof Electronic Devices at CES 2014 in Las Vegas

Oudenaarde, Belgium (ots/PRNewswire) -

Discover the machine behind the famous technology and its
applications at the Europlasma booth 35266, in LVCC South Hall 4,
January 7th till 10th

Belgium based Europlasma, a world leader in low pressure plasma
technology, is happy to present at CES 2014 its nanocoating systems
for the electronics industry under the Nanofics(R) brand name.

Nanofics(R) refers to nanoscaled functionalization into the core
of complex shaped materials and products. It is Europlasma's patented
and patent pending nanocoating technology platform, first applied on
industrial scale in 1996.

There are five basic Nanofics(R) models to waterproof electronic
devices - the Junior, the CD400, CD500, CD600, and the CD1000 - with
plasma chamber volumes ranging from 50 to 500 liter.

The machines make use of a proprietary method to tune the plasma
power, which enables a stable and effective plasma polymerization
process. The machines also have a unique electrode design to maximize
the uniformity of the deposition, and to minimize the batch-to-batch
variability. These and other unique features of the Europlasma
machines were developed during more than 20 years of intensive R&D
and are patented and patent pending by Europlasma.

The Nanofics(R) machines are able to run with Nanofics 120(R),
Nanofics 110(R), as well as other custom designed coating
chemistries.

Europlasma's Sales and Product Manager Peter Martens comments:
"The Nanofics(R) machines can be used to coat the printed circuit
board (PCB), individual electronic components, electronic
subassemblies, or the whole electronic device. If applied on the
subassembly or device level the coatings have shown to give a very
good protection against ingress from water or other liquids. If
applied on the PCB or component level the coatings also demonstrate a
very good protection against corrosion from water or more aggressive
environments such as sweat or salt mist. Europlasma works with each
individual customer to find the best coating solution for his
product."

During the last two years there is a steep growth in demand for
Nanofics(R) systems to waterproof electronic devices. As a result the
Europlasma turnover has more than tripled from 3 to 10 mio EUR on
annual basis, with a healthy EBITDA of 2,5 mio EUR. The systems are
typically integrated in the manufacturing lines of electronic devices
such as speakers, headsets or smartphones. It is estimated that in
2014 several tens of millions of such electronic devices will be
coated with the Nanofics(R) technology platform.

Europlasma has also built an international network of retail
partners, who license the Nanofics(R) technology from Europlasma to
offer a nanocoating service to the end customer. Some of the best
known retail partners are Hydrowarriors in China, Geckodry in
South-Korea, Nanolix in Germany, Drisure in the UK, PhonesPlus in the
USA ...

Europlasma's Managing Director Filip Legein adds: "As the true
pioneer in nanocoating technology, we are happy to see that more than
20 years of intensive R&D by Europlasma engineers has resulted in a
reliable nanocoating technology platform, running on industrial scale
of equipment, that is taking market leadership in a growing number of
markets and applications, such as air filtration products, functional
textiles, medical devices and electronic devices."

your manufacturing line, or if you want to join Europlasma's
international network of retail partners, please visit the Europlasma
