Demonstrating Plasma As A Viable Alternative To KOH For LCP Metallization Applications

OtherAssessedSince Oct 8, 20261 source

Assessment

Nordson reports promising process-validation results for plasma treatment of LCP, but independent production-scale evidence is not provided.

Impact: LowConfidence: Low

Limits of the evidence: The source is a vendor-associated technical blog and supplies no independent replication, production-scale data, or numerical measurements for the stated results.

What to watch

Independent replication of plasma treatment results
Adoption of the process in PCB manufacturing
Quantified adhesion and plating-coverage results at production scale
