Applications
Polymers
PlasmaDyne Pro Produces Powerful Bonding on Polymers
Bonding problems are pervasive throughout manufacturing, especially in the plastics industry. Plastic is often the material of choice due to its many benefits. However, plastic have low surface energy or “wettability,” making surface treatment necessary for optimal performance.
3DT’s plasma treatment is a non-invasive, non-heat-based process that can be used on virtually any material, especially plastics. Plasma treatment produces molecular bonding on surfaces, which vastly improves their adhesion properties. Common manufacturing and decoration applications may include: printing processes, adhesion processes and the joining of similar and dissimilar materials.
PlasmaDyne Pro is fully customizable for numerous applications, even those requiring high surface treatment (dyne) levels, high-speed production lines and fast throughput operations. Give us a call at 262-253-6700 to discuss your application.
