Ebble Tantec has been working hard since the start of 2023. Moving premises, creating new products and services and keeping everything working as expected. We collected the new keys to our new site, which is nearly 5x the size of our previous premises and gives us the space and facilities we needed to push the […]
Plasma treatment is commonly used in the electronic industry at various stages of manufacture. Plasma etching removes physical layers, while plasma enhanced deposition adds additional layers. These plasma systems can be powerful tools, critical to the manufacture of chips and electronic components and Printed Circuit Boards. Plasma treatment is commonly used to improve adhesion, bond […]
Plasma surface cleaning using Atmospheric Plasma, Vacuum Plasma or even Corona, removes organic contaminants at a microscopic level and is typically used as a final, ultrafine cleaning process for applications requiring cleanliness at a molecular level. Plasma cleaning is done using highly charged atoms, which are shot at the surface to vaporise contamination in a […]
Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile polymer widely used in various industries. However, its low surface energy can limit adhesion and bonding capabilities. Plasma surface treatment offers an effective solution to enhance polypropylene by modifying its surface properties. In this blog, Tantec UK & Ireland explore the effects of plasma surface treatment on polypropylene and its […]
Printing onto a plastic card, like gift cards and loyalty cards can be tricky as their polymers are essentially non-stick. This is often a desirable feature of the cards so they don’t become scuffed or dirty during their lifetime. This can however be a big problem during manufacturing. Most types of plastic cards are made […]
Surface treatments are an essential part of many manufacturing processes. A large number of products made by industries around the world often bond different materials together, such as metal to plastic. Alternatively, others require long-lasting, high-quality printing on a plastic surface. In order to achieve this, the materials used often need to be contaminant-free to […]
Printing on to foam boards or solid sheets is commonplace for signs, building supplies and general manufacturing around the UK and Ireland. Here at Tantec UK & Ireland take a look at how Corona is effective in the treatment of foam and boards. These boards are often made from PVC, polyurethane or other polymers that […]
At the start of 2023, Ebble Group, which consists of Tantec-UK and Ebble Manufacturing, have moved in to their new facility as they plan for growth and further support for new and old customers alike. “We’ve had a plan since starting the business to be both the key supplier of plasma and corona treatment equipment. […]
The medical and pharmaceutical industry has shown an increasing tendency towards using plastic materials Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) and Cyclic Olefin Polymers (COP) in the production of plastic prefilled syringes due to their properties such as high barrier performance. Here at Tantec UK & Ireland we take a look at what is the best surface […]
Engineering organisations around the world have long grappled with the challenge of effectively surface treating cavities and pockets in their products. Whether they manufacture surfboards, coolers, ice boxes, jacket pipes or small boats, it’s a common cause of headaches for many engineers. Anything that involves sandwich construction – essentially fibreglass on the outside and foam […]
