Flame Pretreatment Systems Aids Plastic Adhesion

Flame pretreatment systems are beneficial in many applications which require the adhesion of surface coating such as screen printing inks or applying laminates, varnishes and lacquers to plastic products. Plastics and various polymers are typically nonporous which deters them from bonding with surface treatments. Pretreatment machines are proven to be highly effective at altering the plastic surface without altering the visual aesthetics of the product. 

Flame treatment machines quickly alter the plastic surface, causing an invisible molecular reaction to the surface which allows the product to adhere to surface treatments. 

Pretreating Plastics is Proven Highly Effective

Flame pretreating systems are proven to be effective and safe, as opposed to chemical treatments which can pose a safety risk to employees. Flame treating is effective, safe and cost-efficient over chemical treating as there is no need to purchase, store or dispose of chemicals and employees are not exposed to toxic fumes or by products. Products pass through a flame treatment machine so quickly that the product is not altered and there is no health hazard. 

Flame treating is also conducive to producing a higher level of quality in production as the exposure is consistent. With consistent flame exposure, products are treated evenly as opposed to chemical application which could leave an uneven surface due to evaporation. Flame pretreating systems are used in many processes to improve surface bonding and adhesions including the following: 

• Screen Printing 

• Painting

• Coating 

• Bonding

• Laminating
