Tantec UK & Ireland is a leading supplier of plasma and corona surface treatment equipment to businesses worldwide. We offer tailored solutions to meet diverse requirements by approaching each project individually. Our on-site laboratory is equipped with surface energy test tools, including contact angle and Dyne Inks, several plasma and corona surface treatment systems, and tensile testing equipment to provide reliable data. We work closely with our customers to provide on-site trials, rental systems, and sub-contract manufacturing solutions to ensure the right solution for you.
Bonding to low surface energy plastics and other materials, or dissimilar materials can have poor results. Pretreatment using plasma and corona primes and prepares the surface to give you strong adhesion every time.
Material and process variations can lead to random quality concerns, but with a pretreated material you will have a significant boost to repeatability – true for adhesive, printing, coating and many other bonding and cleaning applications.
Plasma and corona can obliterate organic contamination, turning it in to simple gases that are blown away. This dry, quick cleaning process is energy efficient and needs no consumables, leaving you with a perfect surface.
Manual processes like abrasion and chemical primers are difficult are challenging to integrate into automation. Plasma and corona best used with automation to give highly repeatable results with feedback for alarms and traceability.
Chemicals, solvents and gas pose personnel and environmental risks, taking up large amounts of space and very costly to buy, keep and dispose of. Plasma and corona replace many of these processes with a safe, clean and cost effective alternative.
Plasma is an energetic gas and can create interesting reactions to impose specific chemistry and functionality to material surfaces without the need for large amounts of chemicals or safety concerns
Leak detection of polymers using high voltage leak detection is lightning quick, can cover multiple parts at once and be run automatically, inline for 100% component inspection to give complete confidence.
