Atmospheric Plasma Solutions (APS) has established itself as a pioneer in non-thermal plasma surface preparation. This technology, which uses low-voltage plasma to remove coatings, adhesives, and organic materials without damaging the underlying surfaces, is a game-changer in both the military and commercial sectors. In an interview with David Craig, Regional Sales Manager, key details highlighting the impact of this technology were revealed.
Relationship with the Department of Defense (DoD)
One of APS’s greatest accomplishments has been its close collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Over the past several years, APS has worked hand-in-hand with the U.S. Navy to test and refine its non-thermal plasma systems, which are now used in more than 80 systems on ships, shipyards, and other maintenance facilities across the country.
APS technology has been instrumental in removing coatings and preparing surfaces for inspection without damaging the underlying metals. A prominent example is its use in weld inspections during routine maintenance, where non-thermal plasma removes outer layers without compromising the quality of the base material. This process not only improves the efficiency of maintenance operations but also ensures greater worker safety by reducing exposure to hazardous chemicals.
Marketing and expansion: from the military to the commercial industry
Although Atmospheric Plasma Solutions began in the military sector, in recent years it has begun to expand its horizons into the commercial sector. With its Plyonix product, a specialized line for the commercial market, APS has brought its non-thermal plasma technology to industries such as aviation, automotive, and general industrial maintenance.
This shift in focus has been key to the company’s growth, as the use of Plyonix has allowed APS to demonstrate the potential of its technology to a broader market, helping to reduce costs, improve workplace safety, and provide greener and more efficient solutions compared to traditional methods. With a year of presence in the commercial market, APS is already establishing a strong customer network and expanding its presence across multiple sectors.
Clean solutions for efficient maintenance
From its relationship with the DoD to its expansion into the commercial market, APS demonstrates how innovation can transform both the military and commercial sectors, with solutions that are not only more efficient but also safer and more environmentally friendly. The company is well positioned to continue leading this technological shift, helping to improve industrial processes around the world.
