The Process?

When it comes to treating the surfaces of packaging, molded parts, glass, automotive parts, and a wide range of films, foils, coated boards and other substrates, Flame treating is a proven winner. Flame treating induces an ionized air stream that alters the surface that is being treated. Flame treaters work by burning an ultra-lean gas mixture, whose excess oxygen becomes reactive by the high treatment temperature.

The Result?

Flame treated surfaces offer many advantages, including freedom from pinholing, ozone, and backtreatment. Using the right equipment in your process can help you achieve treatment levels above 70 dynes even on polyolefins. The increased surface tension will now allow, inks, glues, dyes, paint, etc to adhere to the substrate creating a succesful solution for your company.

Advantages over Corona / Air Plasma Treatment

• Higher achievable treatment levels
• Lower treatment decay rates
• No backside treatment
• No ozone
• No gauge or surface contour restrictions

Advantages over Chemical Treatment

• Chemical treating creates odor
• No skin irritation
• Less expensive
• Does not require disposing of environmentally hazardous material
• Chemicals expose workers to dangerous substances
