Manufacturers rely on in-line atmospheric plasma treatment to improve bonding of adhesives on plastics, metals, composites, and glass surfaces. Plasma pretreatment cleans surfaces by removing contaminants. The process also etches surfaces creating more bonding sites to facilitate stronger bonds and air plasma’s ability to functionalize surfaces activates their receptiveness to adhering with all types of […]

Did you know it’s possible ink jet print on all types of plastic surfaces? Ink jet is popular because it is a digital technology that offers many production advantages. However in some cases surfaces are not receptive to ink adhesion. This is because of low surface energy and surface contamination. To improve surface adhesion companies […]
