Flame Treatment Aids Adhesion in Many Processes


Flame treatment machines are being utilized worldwide for their powerful effect in aiding adhesion to various substrates, specifically plastic. Plastic has a nonporous exterior, making it difficult for inks, adhesives and coatings to adhere to the outer surface.  Flame treatment equipment is used as a pretreatment process that alters the exterior finish of plastic parts and makes it conducive to bonding with other materials.
There are several applications in which bonding with plastic is desirable, and flame treatment machines are a quick and cost-effective way to pretreat the plastic parts for further processing.  Many industries such as screen printing are using a flame treatment machine to first treat bottles, mugs or other items for maximum bonding with inks during a printing process.  Pretreating these items prior to printing ensures a long-lasting bond with inks that won’t rub off, become dull or fade away.  Pretreatment machines in the printing process are helping screen printers produce vibrant colored items that stand out from other products, and really get their buyer’s attention. 
Flame treatment machines are also used in many industrial processes such as the Automotive industry, where high quality must be coupled with quick cycle times for maximum efficiency.  Many components in autos today are molded with polymer resin for durability and resistance to corrosion, high temperatures and many other environments where plastic is proving to be a superior material.  These products must be pretreated in order for secondary bonding processes to be effective.  Flame treatment machines are used by automakers around the globe for fast and efficient pretreatment of parts, as these versatile systems can be mounted to conveyors for simultaneous treatment during manufacturing processes.
