Read MoreRoll Aluminum Surface Preparation for Packaging Applications
The packaging industries within North America and Western Europe consume the majority of the aluminum sheet and foil for making beverage cans, flexible packaging and foil wraps. The choice of alloy for these applications typically predetermines properties such as strength, formability and resistance to corrosion. Other requirements such as the surface finish, flatness and gauge…
Read MoreBest Practice for Integrating Plasma & Flame Surface Treaters
In this paper INPRO Technologies Incorporated and Enercon Industries discuss a variety of ways to use plasma or flame for surface preparation. Industries like automotive, aerospace, window and door, assembly, medical, wire & cable, electronics, decorating, and packaging rely on surface treating technologies. Learn about options and considerations for:– Working with flame or plasma– Moving…
Read MoreThree Mistakes to Avoid When Plasma Treating
We have many customers who have tried a corona or plasma treating solution in the past with failed results and were very hesitant to give plasma a second try. However, there are three areas which can be corrected for improved results: using the right plasma technology with the proper set up, having the proper protocols…

Read MorePlasma & Flame Treatment Prepares Aluminum Surfaces for Bonding
Bonding to aluminum can be major challenge. Engineers typically rely on adhesives to bond aluminum without welding. Depending upon application requirements, there are several adhesives and VHB foam tapes that have proven effective. However, all adhesive-based remedies are subject to failure if surface preparation is overlooked. Aluminum Surface Contaminates Aluminum is often annealed to achieve…
Read MoreImprove Label Adhesion on Bottles – Flame & Plasma Treaters
When packagers are faced with label adhesion challenges, flame and plasma surface treaters are often used to increase bond strength. Label adhesion problems on bottles occur because many of the container, lid and cap materials used in packaging are chemically inert and non receptive to bonding with glue. Options for improving labeling success include changing…
