The printing, coating and bonding of plastics requires the surface to be pre-treated. Flame treatment is one way to achieve this so-called activation. It is currently being used in many industrial sectors and has considerable potential for development.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam and the Italian company esse CI are uniting their expertise in surface chemistry and machine engineering in order to clearly expand the opportunities provided by flame treatment and to extend the range of surface properties.
Interested companies are invited to take part this year in the project. They can influence the detailed planning, for example, of materials and process parameters and receive first-hand information and research results. The Fraunhofer IAP and esse CI will also provide workshops on the technology, equipment and project results.
