Webinar: Controlling Non-obvious Variables in Surface Preparation of Polymers to Maximize Adhesion
Preparation of polymers for adhesion includes processes like corona, flame and plasma treatment. These can be very effective if implemented with proper process control feedbacks. However, they don’t always translate into reliable manufacturing processes. Failure analysis has shown that this...

Materials Library: Flame Treatment on Polymers
Watch how flame treatment of polymers affects how ready your polymer surface is for additional processing. When it comes to preparing polymers for painting, printing, coating, sealing or bonding, there's an optimal level of treatment, and the Surface Analyst shows how overtreatment can negatively...

Materials Library: Corona Treatment on Polypropylene Film
Welcome to the BTG Labs Materials Library series. In this series, we use the Surface Analyst to demonstrate how the surface quality of a material changes based on common surface preparation processes. We also give typical contact angle measurements before and after processing, to give a general...
