Plasma Surface Activation Applications
Plastics
Plasma Treatment of Plastics
Today’s industries are moving to lighter weight plastic materials that require surface preparation prior to printing, painting, or applying adhesive. Plasma treatment can prepare the surface without the use of hazard solvents and for minimal processing costs. For most applications, the only inputs are minimal electricity and air.
APJeT’s Surface Activation Plasma Systems integrate easily into existing lines and operate at low temperatures, preventing operator burns and melting of substrates during line stops.
Packaging Applications
Plasma Treatment of Plastics
Plasma surface activation increases the surface energy of plastic materials used in a variety of industries. This increases the bond strength with adhesives & coatings and allows for the durable printing of ink and labels.
