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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
