Registered as a non-profit association, BalticNet-PlasmaTec (BNPT) is an international cluster – located in Greifswald, Germany – which stands for a technology and market-oriented cooperation of science, research and economics in the field of plasma technology. As one of the most important plasma technology clusters in Europe, BNPT’s aim is to raise the perception of the plasma technology in society. BNPT is a contact partner for interested parties who intend to expand their own technical and economic potential in using the plasma technology.

Because of their sizable temperature and density ranges, plasma is used widely for a broad variety of application industries for example aerospace, automotive, electrical, food packaging, medical, metalworking, glass, optics, plastics, textiles and tools etc. New applications are being developed daily and the field continues to grow at an enormous rate. Plasma provides many practical uses: new manufacturing techniques, consumer products, the prospect of abundant energy, more efficient lighting, surface cleaning, waste removal, plasma-assisted pretreatment and coating of film materials, and many more application topics.
