Surface Treatment

Surface treatments to improve adhesion and wetting of an adhesive to a substrate.

Surface Treatment

Description

Collapse

Our surface treatment products alter the surface energy of a substrate in order to improve adhesion – particularly ideal for cases where the material is difficult to wet. By using either plasma surface treatment methods or a special propane-butane-organosilicon gas flame, the surface properties of a substrate can be altered allowing an adhesive or similar to wet easier than without any treatment at all. Contact our product specialists for more information about these technologies.

 

How does plasma surface treatment improve bond strength?

Relyon Plasmatool Portable Surface Treatment System

The Relyon Plasmatool is a portable, handheld surface treatment device for improving adhesion and wetting on difficult to bond plastics like polyethylene, polypropylene and other polyolefins. The Plasmatool is particularly effective where materials cannot be treated automatically because of size or mobility.
