Enercon offers a variety of technologies and products for treatment of three dimensional 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 increases the life and durability of the paint on the object's surface.
- Coating
- Products are coated to protect their surfaces from harsh environments or as decoration. Doors, frames, and extrusions/profiles are often coated. The medical industry uses surface treating to improve adhesion of antimicrobial/antibiotic coatings.
- Bonding
- Bonding is primarily used to increase the strength of an adhesive. The medical and automotive industries rely on surface treating to remove contaminants such as dust, grease, oils, or mold to improve bonding. Typical cleaning solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), trichloroethylene, toluene, or acetone may be used for this purpose, but cleaning agents that leave a film residue upon evaporation will retard bonding.
- Labeling
- Surface treating caps, bottles and lids ensure that labels will not peel off before complete destruction of the label occurs. Air, flame and chemical plasma treatment of materials like HMWHDPE can effectively improve adhesion of labels.
