Industrial assembly and decorating operations are increasing their use of atmospheric plasma and flame surface treaters to improve adhesive bonding. These safe and green technologies activate surfaces to enable stronger bonds with plastics, composites, wood, glass and metal surfaces. In some cases, they enable adhesion and increased productivity. In others, they eliminate hazardous surface preparation materials and reduce the costs of adhesives. Their ability to be integrated as an automated solution provides manufacturers with a reliable and consistent process. Ongoing advancements with plasma and flame surface treaters are expanding the use of these systems in more and more industries.
