Approved partner
Manufacturers of Surface Treatment Systems and Leak Detection for polymer parts. Tantec equipment includes Atmospheric Plasma, Vacuum Plasma, Corona Treatment and Ozone Treatment systems for preparing, priming and pretreating materials for cleanliness, raising surface energy and changing the surface chemistry. Using these technologies on plasticarts means that you have improved performance and repeatability for processes that rely on adhesion - this could be adhesive bonding, painting, coating, tape adhesion and print adhesion among many other processes. Improving and preparing your material in this way opens up your production to new options, such as moving to water based products rather than solvent. This can be a huge environmental improvement and can also mean cost savings due to design and processing changes.
Surface treatment equipment modifies plastic surfaces to improve adhesion, printability, and bonding for downstream operations such as painting, printing, or assembly. Systems include corona treatment, plasma treatment, flame treatment, and chemical etching equipment. These processes alter surface properties without affecting the bulk material, enabling successful secondary operations on low-surface-energy plastics like polyolefins.
PlastikCity connects you with vetted surface treatment equipment suppliers across the UK and Ireland. All suppliers undergo assessment for financial stability, service quality, and reputation. Submit a single enquiry to receive multiple quotes, saving time while ensuring competitive pricing. The service is completely free for buyers with no hidden costs or commissions.
Corona (electrical discharge), plasma (low-pressure gas activation), flame (direct flame exposure), and chemical etching. Choice depends on material, volume, and required treatment.
Dyne level testing, contact angle measurement, and adhesion tests are used. Inline monitoring and automatic adjustment can maintain consistent surface activation.
Low-surface-energy plastics like polyethylene, polypropylene, PTFE, and TPO. These naturally resist bonding and require surface activation for coatings and adhesives.
Effectiveness generally lasts from days to weeks depending on material, storage, and contamination exposure. Some treatments are longer-lasting; others require prompt processing after treatment.
Yes, systems can integrate into conveyors, printing presses, and assembly operations, with proper planning to ensure timing and minimal production disruption.
Safety measures depend on the technology: electrical safety for corona, gas handling for plasma, fire safety for flame systems, plus ventilation, interlocks, and operator training.
