Piezobrush PZ2/PZ2-i Handheld Plasma Surface Treatment









Description
What is Plasma Surface Treatment?
For more information on how plasma surface treatment can improve bonding, watch our video on YouTube. |
The Piezobrush PZ2 introduces the benefits of plasma surface treatment into a convenient and lightweight handheld format, or in a semi-automatable or automatable robot mountable format (see Piezobrush PZ2-i below). Using Piezoelectric Direct Discharge (PDD®) Technology, which has been specially developed by Relyon Plasma, the device transforms low input voltage into high electric field strengths, dissociating and ionizing the ambient process gas (typically air).
“The PZ2 plasma treating unit is really effective and easy to use. We are very happy with it. Makes a real difference. We could not do without it.” – Ben, Videojet Technologies
Developed for end user-friendliness, the Piezobrush PZ2 requires no specialist technical knowledge and no complex infrastructure. It is ready to use, just plug in and get started – no need for an external gas supply. Inert gas input is optional with the multi-gas nozzle. See the Nozzles tab below for more information.
The Piezobrush PZ2 has a low operating temperature as it uses “cold plasma”, meaning that it can be used to treat temperature-sensitive substrates.
Piezobrush PZ2-i Plasma Surface Treatment Tool for Automation
This surface treatment technology is also available in a robot mountable version for semi-automated or automated processes. The PZ2-i combines the effectiveness of plasma surface activation with the improved productivity and repeatability of using a robot to automate a process. See our range of robots for more information. The PZ2-i requires compressed air or an external gas supply to operate.
Features & Benefits
- Improves adhesion & wetting of surfaces
- Convenient and lightweight handheld format option
- Robot mountable option for improving productivity and repeatability
- Efficient and environmentally friendly
- Uses “cold plasma”, so can be used to treat temperature-sensitive substrates
- Interchangeable nozzles for different substrates
- Compatible with an external gas supply
Applications
The Piezobrush PZ2 and Piezobrush PZ2-i are ideal for use in research and development settings such as a laboratory, and can also be utilised for small production lines.
- Medical
Filters, cell wells, test tubes, catheters, syringes, petri-dishes, needle hubs, lenses - Automotive
Fuse covers, engine parts, air bag covers, rubber profiles, tubing, headlights - Electronics
Cable, switches, polyester pcb’s, housings & enclosures, screens - Consumer
Irons, blenders, shakers, measuring containers - Food, cosmetics & drug
Bottles, caps, jars, tubes - Professional model making
Preparing materials such as glass, GRP, ABS and other synthetic materials for bonding
The Piezobrush also allows simple germ reduction on a great variety of surfaces such as glass, plastics or metals and thus provides excellent support in effecting processes in the field of microbiology, medicine, microfluidics or food engineering.

Nozzles
There are 3 types of nozzle available, compatible with both the Piezobrush PZ2 and Piezobrush PZ2-i. These nozzles help to optimise surface activation across varying substrates:
![]() |
Standard Nozzle Included with the PZ2 as standard. This nozzle is suitable for most tasks including non-conductive substrates. |
![]() |
Nearfield Nozzle This nozzle is most suitable for conductive substrates such as metals and conductive polymers. |
![]() |
Multi-gas & Needle Nozzle This nozzle is designed for use with inert gas from an external gas supply, e.g. helium. The gas connection component can be removed to allow the nozzle to be used as a needle nozzle for more precise surface activation. |
