特别是在美国地毯市场，竞争主要集中在短纤与长丝两者之间。短纤地毯的外观和手感远远优于长丝，但是，存在易脏和起球的问题。这是因为，天然短纤维是由无数个别纤维段构成的，这就需要采用后期加工的方式进行表面处理。
如果采用传统工艺，比如火焰烧毛，可以把小段丝线烧焦，从而去除多余的丝线。但是，这么做往往会造成最终产品的手感偏硬。使用Openair®等离子技术，可以有效地取代火焰烧毛，由于可以在工艺流程中对等离子体加以精确的控制，纤维质量不会受到影响。
Plasmatreat goes virtual and is present at the 2nd Virtual Battery Exhibition from VDMA battery manufacturing, which will take place online from April 27 to May 3. On its virtual booth the company will present highlights about its own developed and patented Openair-Plasma technology for surface treatment especially for battery manufacturing.
