Benefits of Flame Treatment for Plastic Surface Treatment

When looking for the best method for plastic surface treatment, be sure to know the benefits of flame treatment systems.  The nonporous surface of most plastic products makes bonding with outer coatings such as varnishes, laminates or screen printing impossible without pre-treating the plastic surface.  Quality designed flame treatment systems provide surface treatment solutions with an effective and cost-efficient process.

Flame treating plastic products is highly effective with instant alteration of the molecular structure of the plastic surface.  Flame treatment machines provide an effective plastic surface treatment without visual alterations or damages to the plastic part.  The instant exposure to a high heat flame is automated and efficient with the right flame treatment system, providing maximum cost savings when pre-treating plastic surfaces for improved adhesion.

Benefits of flame treating plastic surfaces include:

• • Highly effective surface treatment
  • Cost efficient with automated flame treatment machines
  • Improved throughput for increased profitability
  • Safe for employees with no exposure to harmful contaminants
  • Improved quality with an effective and consistent process

Automated flame treatment machines provide these benefits and more to deliver maximum value over other methods such as chemical pretreatment processes.  Using chemicals to treat plastic surfaces requires purchasing, storing and disposing of harmful or toxic materials in addition to posing a health risk to employees.  Flame treating provides a safe, effective and cost-saving method of pretreating plastic surfaces.

Flame treatment of plastic surfaces is also a quality conscience method of plastic surface treatment options. Consistent exposure to a controlled flame provides a more reliable process over chemical application.  The use of chemicals could result in an uneven application or evaporation which directly impacts product quality.
