Replace primers with environmentally friendly plasma systems
Primers enable even difficult-to-bond plastics to be bonded securely. However, there are problems that make replacement by other processes interesting.
1. harmfulness to the environment and to health
A large number of primers are very harmful to the environment and health. Increased environmental awareness, concern for personal health and the desire to protect people in the manufacturing process mean that consumers no longer tolerate avoidable pollution. A good brand image is no longer possible without an environmentally friendly and social focus.
Plasma treatment can replace the function of the primer, the establishment of a secure and durable adhesion. The plasma is generated by an electric discharge and does not leave any substances hazardous to the environment or health on the surface of the treated product.
2. application of primer often technically difficult to ensure permanently and maintenance-intensive
Einen Primer technisch fachgerecht und funktional auf eine Oberfläche aufzubringen, kann sehr aufwändig werden und zieht oft einen umfangreichen Wartungsaufwand nach sich. This significantly increases operating costs.
Pretreatment with a plasma system can be easily integrated into the production line or automation due to its electrical operation. The maintenance effort is extremely low.
3. primers are very costly
Primers are often very cost-intensive. Per bonded area, the primer can be up to 30 times more expensive than a comparable plasma treatment. The use of plasma pretreatment systems can thus lead to considerable cost savings in production.
Optimize bonding of cell phones with adhesive tapes by plasma
Adhesive tapes are widely used in the production of cell phones and electronic devices. Reliable adhesion during the product life cycle is of crucial importance. Especially with adhesive tapes, the correct pretreatment plays an outstanding role in achieving optimum adhesion of the tape.
Perfect adhesion due to power-adjustable plasma for adhesive tape applications
TIGRES plasma pretreatment units are basically able to freely adjust the output power within a specific range. The controlled discharge keeps the set power constant.
- Simple and clean process through cost-efficient, environmentally friendly electrical plasma treatment
- Reliable reproducibility of pretreatment, even for sensitive surfaces, due to power-adjustable and controlled plasma discharge
- Full monitoring of all process-relevant parameters through real-time monitoring with TIGRES SQI (System Quality Index)
