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 […]
Plasma and corona systems are usually the green and cost-effective way of pre-treating a surface to improve adhesion. This might be in the medical sector where the safety-critical print is being adhered to a polymer syringe, or automotive where foam or leather is being bonded onto a moulded plastic interior part. In this blog we’ll […]
Plastic pipes are used in a wide variety of applications and across a range of different industries. The three common types, PE, PEX, and PP, share one simple characteristic – low surface energy, making it difficult for inks, coatings, and foams to adhere to the surface. Tantec UK & Ireland’s Corona and Plasma treaters solve […]
Is plasma and corona effective in the cable industry? Whether cabling around your car, oven, home or office, large high-tension cables powering towns and cities, or data cables carrying digital signals around the world; people and machines around the globe are supplied with power and information by billions of cables. They form a worldwide infrastructure […]
It is often necessary to coat sheets as part of the manufacturing process. In order for liquid adhesives, glues, coatings or inks to adhere to the surface of cast, moulded or extruded plastics we must first modify the surface. The process of increasing surface energy will improve surface wettability, thereby promoting stronger adhesion. Here at […]
Manufacturers across the globe are looking for innovative methods to improve the quality of their product offerings and to give customers exactly what they are looking for. Not least in the automotive industry where they are incorporating different manufacturing techniques to get the best product offerings. Since 2013, the UK automotive industry has been on […]
For over 70 years, plasma and corona surface treatment systems have played an increasingly critical role in the manufacture of high-quality products within various high-technology industries around the world – none more so than the medical device sector.
Commonly used plastic materials such as polypropylene have a very low Surface Energy which essentially makes them non stick in nature. Here at Tantec Uk & Ireland we describe how plasma and corona surface treatments enhance the bonding of plastics.
Plasma surface treatment is just one of many different surface treatment solutions available to prepare or optimise substrates for bonding, printing or coating. Here at Tantec UK & Ireland we give our top 5 reasons to choose plasma over alternative processes: 1. Plasma Surface Treatment is a high-performance process Plasma surface treatment can offer greater […]
