TANTEC Plasma and Corona Treating Equipment

Tantec increases sales and service in USA

The Tantec Group, an industrial surface treatment manufacturer providing custom and standard corona and plasma surface treatment equipment, is happy to welcome Andy Grzesik to the Tantec team.

Since the introduction of the RotoTEC concept with rotating electrodes on a circular dial, Tantec has stepped up development towards an even more uniform discharge ensuring even and complete coverage.

Searching for leaks in injection molded plastic parts is often necessary in the area of quality control. Tantec has introduced an improved LeakTEC system which

For the treatment of small parts in high quantities, the RotoVacuTEC (Vacuum plasma system with rotating drum) may be the answer. Simply fill the

For more than 20 years Tantec has offered standard and customized VacuTEC systems for most any given application. These VacuTEC systems are appreciated for their ease of use and ultra strong discharge. Furthermore, the vacuum level needed for these units to work is rather high,

Why surface treatment?

It is often necessary to bond plastic materials to metals or other plastic materials or simply print a plastic surface. In order to successfully accomplish this, the liquid adhesive, or ink should be able to wet the surface of the material. Wettability depends on one specific property of the surface: Surface Energy, often referred to as Surface Tension, which is measured in mN/m or dynes/cm.

However, the poor wettability of these polymers presents the designer with the problem of bonding or decorating materials made from them. Plasma and corona surface treatment can improve wettability of the material by raising its surface energy and improve adhesive characteristics by creating bonding sites. The most advanced and successful methods of surface treatment are based on a principle of high voltage discharge through air or under vacuum pressure.

Corona or Plasma Surface Treatment is modification of polymer surfaces with electrical discharge. The Corona or Plasma process creates the necessary polar functional groups on the polymer surface, which promote adhesion and wettability
