Applications for Plasma Treatment of Objects
Treatment of polymer objects promotes adhesion for printing, painting, coating, bonding and labeling. Printing Surface treating parts prior to printing enhances ink adhesion. It makes printing easier, and for others it makes printing possible. Painting Injection molded or thermoformed parts are often treated prior to painting. Surface treatment allows the paint to adhere and also…
