Adhesive tapes are used in a wide variety of industries to rapidly adhere components together. The bond strength between tape and substrate can be improved by pretreating the substrate with APJeT’s Surface Activation Plasma. Labels also adhere more strongly to plastics, glass, and other materials when pretreated with plasma.

APJeT’s Surface Activation Plasma Systems integrate easily into existing process lines and operate at low temperatures, preventing operator burns and melting of substrates during line stops. 

Label and Tape Applications

Plasma Treatment of Labels and Tapes

Plasma surface activation increases the surface energy of taped and labeled components, improving the bond strength between the substrate and tape or label and increasing the longevity of the adhesion.
