High degree of activation means new options in manufacturing and processing plastic packaging
The
packaging industry can no longer get by without physical surface
pretreatment. It’s become a necessary step in extruding plastic
films and using non-polar materials such as polypropylene,
polyethylene and recycled
materials.
Openair®
Plasma is an especially effective tool in providing this
pretreatment. Plasma treatment is a key technology that is critical
to manufacturing cost-effective and environmentally responsible
advanced composite materials.
Plasma treatment for plastic packaging is extremely effective:
- Openair® Plasma achieves plastic activation at the highest level. It is not unusual to reach surface tensions of more than 72 mN/m.
- Extremely long-lasting plasma activation increases storage life and facilitates subsequent processing up to 12 months later.
- New material composites are only possible using targeted surface functionalization with Openair® Plasma.
- Openair® Plasma treatment ensures targeted, exclusively single-sided pretreatment of plastic films.
