When we want to stick two things together, sometimes it can be difficult to get plastic to stick to other materials. To solve this problem, we use a technique called surface modification, which changes the surface of the plastic to make it stick better. To modify the surface, we can add certain chemicals or create […]

Overtreatment can be costly to your company and product. It is easily avoided following the proper formulation for power requirements per your adhesion process and material characteristics. When the material is treated at higher power levels than necessary, we can expect overtreatment. The material’s structure will only allow a certain increase in surface energy depending […]

As with any industrial equipment, a good maintenance schedule helps extend the lifespan of the treater and lower the rate of expensive service costs. A good maintenance schedule includes: Cleaning and lubricating treater rolls. Remove material deposits with a good industrial cleaner. Remove deposits from electrode insulators regularly to prevent buildup of conductive material. Clean […]
