Flame Treatment Offers Benefits Over Other Pretreatment Methods

Pretreating plastic or glass products is required to prepare the surface for additional processes such as applying adhesives, coatings or inks. The surface of glass or plastic is nonporous and smooth which prevents printed inks or adhesives to adhere to the product. The outer surface of these items must be treated prior to screen printing applications for the ink to actually adhere to the product and last, without smudging or wiping off entirely. 

Flame treatment machines quickly prepare the outer surface of these products for additional applications by altering the molecular structure of the surface without altering products specs or visual appearance. By quickly running these products through a flame treater, the surface is ready for additional applications. Flame treatment systems offer many benefits over other pretreatment methods such as chemical application or corona treaters. Advantages of flame treatment machines include: 

Efficiency – flame treaters support high volume production with fast and efficient processing of many products in seconds. 

Supports ‘Green’ practices – flame treating is environmentally friendly, with no chemicals to purchase, store or dispose of and no risk of exposing employees to dangerous chemicals. 

Consistent surface treatment – pretreatment machines provide a consistent and uniform application to the surface of products unlike a chemical application which can apply with inconsistencies. 

Cost efficient – flame treating machines are less costly to operate than other methods and require very little maintenance.
