Corona & Plasma Surface Treatment Systems for Improved Adhesion
Bonding difficulties are common in manufacturing due to the chemical structure of many materials, which naturally resist adhesion. Plasma and corona surface treatment eliminate these challenges by modifying surface energy to improve wetting and bonding strength. Although the alteration is invisible, the treated surface dramatically improves overcoming many challenges in manufacturing.
3DT’s systems treat a wide range of materials, optimizing adhesion for ink, paint, adhesives, and coatings before printing, decoration, gluing, or part assembly. Materials that readily improve surface tension with surface treatment are: polymers, glass, composites, metal and paperboard.
Some Typical Applications:
Improved ink adhesion on plastic components
Secure bonding of plastic tubing to medical devices
Enhanced wetting for glue on silicon window seals
Powerful bonding between layers of sports flooring
Learn more about our line of systems designed for most manufacturing challenges. Each system is customizable for your specific and unique application. Our team would be glad to discuss your application and surface treatment options, test materials, recommend a solution, then design and build a final product that improves your adhesion, process, and profitability. Let’s discuss your application. Give us a call or send us an email!
What’s New at 3DT?
We Look Forward to Meeting With You at the Foam & Adhesives Expo
The Foam Expo is co-located with the Adhesives & Bonding Expo in Novi, Michigan. This June 23 – 25. Stop by 3DT’s booth #1230 to discuss your adhesion challenges and solutions with our team.
See our new HeliDyne demo system- 3DT’s patented corona system engineered to treat wide, thick, and porous materials, including foam stock, honeycomb boards, and polymer panels.
Only 3DT’s HeliDyne corona treats substrates up to 120” wide and 2″ thick for better adhesion for gluing, printing, coating and laminating applications.
3DT manufactures a full line of corona and plasma surface treatment systems designed for many industrial applications. Our sales team, Erik and Paul, look forward to learning about your application! Get your free show invitation here!
Are You Ready to Automate?
Did you know that 3DT engineers and manufactures automation and product handling systems independent of our surface treatment systems? We do!
