Free Plasma Treatment Resource Provides The Answer To Bonding With Plastics

April 22, 2010 - PRLog -- As a way to improve the awareness of the benefits of plasma treatment during the pre-treating phases of industrial product development, Enercon Industries released a free resource for download this week on its training and resource guide website PlasmaTreating.com.

Manufacturers who use plastics are regularly faced with the challenge of bonding inks, coatings, paints and adhesives to nonporous polymer surfaces. When plasma treatment is applied to the surface of those plastics before the adhesion process, however, bond strength shows a dramatic improvement.

Enercon’s VP of Marketing Mark Plantier says, “Atmospheric plasma treatment is making a significant impact for manufacturers looking to improve their productivity, reduce scrap material and move towards greener technologies. Plasmatreating.com provides a technical resource for those interested in the capabilities of this technology.”

The latest resource being offered is a free technology comparison chart with video examples of a several advanced plasma technologies. The multimedia PDF can be downloaded from PlasmaTreating.com.

While many experiments have been performed globally to discover the best way of improving plastic adhesion, manufacturers of plastic-based products will learn how to overcome one of their biggest challenges in the workplace when downloading this free resource. Specifically produced for manufacturing engineers, scientists, and workshop management seeking a solution to their adhesion problems, this resource will also benefit anyone looking to increase their knowledge about the plasma surface treatments of plastics.  

When applied as pre-treatment of product surfaces, atmospheric plasma treating improves the functionality of plastics and other materials for adhesion by cleaning or etching the material surface. In addition to the improvement of plastics, plasma treatment (http://www.plasmatreating.com) has also been found to be beneficial in the treating of batteries, fabrics, folding cartons, circuit boards, packaging, labels, tags and film technology.

Enercon Industries created PlasmaTreating.com in 2008 as a free training and resource guide for the manufacturing industry on the benefits of surface plasma treatments. The site includes over 25 free articles on a variety of plasma treatment topics, in addition to a section where visitors can directly submit questions to a surface treatment expert.
