As a leading provider of plasma and corona treatment solutions, Tantec UK & Ireland will be exhibiting at Interplas 2023 between September 26th September 28th . Chris and Rob will be showcasing its vacuum plasma and atmospheric plasma on a robot system, as well as discussing all things plasma and corona treatment. Tantec UK & […]
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 and corona treatment do very similar things to the surface of a material, all of which is permanent and will last the life of the part. The real question is, how long does plasma and corona treatment remain useful and available to use? Here at Tantec, we find out! What does plasma and corona […]
Commonly used plastic materials such as polypropylene have a low Surface Energy which essentially are non stick in nature. Nylon and PVC have slightly higher surface energy, but still lower than surface treated materials. This lack of surface energy reduces the way the material can interact with materials such as glues, inks or coatings. Low […]
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 […]
