Surface Treatment Applications in Industrial Processes
Solutions adapted to material, geometry and production requirements
Surface treatment is used across multiple industrial applications to improve adhesion, print quality and coating performance.
Different materials such as plastics, films and technical components require specific surface activation depending on their properties and production conditions.
Plasma and corona treatment technologies are applied to increase surface energy, ensuring reliable adhesion and stable process performance.
Applications vary depending on material type, geometry and production environment. Selecting the correct treatment approach is essential to achieve consistent results and avoid adhesion failures.
Typical industrial applications include:
Films & Flexible Packaging
Surface treatment of PE, PP and PET films to improve ink adhesion and ensure consistent print quality in flexographic and gravure processes.
- Continuous web processing
- Stable surface energy
- High-speed production
Labels & Narrow Web
Surface treatment for label materials and narrow web applications, ensuring proper ink adhesion and print consistency across different substrates.
- Adhesion on difficult label materials
- Consistent print quality
- Suitable for variable substrates
Technical Parts & 3D Components
Plasma treatment for complex geometries such as plastic parts, automotive components and technical surfaces requiring localized activation.
- Complex shapes
- Localized treatment
- High precision activation
Special Applications
Custom surface treatment solutions for specific industrial requirements beyond standard processes.
- Tailored solutions
- Process-specific design
- Engineering approach
Surface treatment requirements differ significantly between flexible materials and rigid components.
Continuous processes such as film and packaging lines typically use corona treatment, while plasma systems are used for complex parts and localized activation.
Proper definition of treatment parameters ensures stable surface energy levels and long-term process reliability.
Challenges in Surface Treatment Applications
Low surface energy materials such as polyolefins present adhesion challenges in printing and coating processes.
Without proper surface activation, issues such as poor ink adhesion, coating defects and process instability may occur.
A correctly defined plasma or corona treatment system ensures consistent surface energy and reliable production performance.
