ITW Pillar Technologies has announced a new Contract/Toll Corona and Plasma Treatment Service.
The new service is said to enable roll goods producers, converters and end users to leverage ITW Pillar Technologies’ corona and atmospheric pressure plasma pilot line facilities to treat roll-to-roll materials on a contract or toll basis.
“We had encountered a number of customers who received either untreated or pretreated roll materials from their suppliers, but for a number of reasons were unable to achieve proper ink, coating or adhesive adhesion to those materials using their in-house treaters,” said Chuck Ballard, OEM and corporate accounts sales manager. “These clients would initially ask us for surface characterizations and, ultimately, re-treatment services using our VERSATreat corona technology or our Protean1 plasma technology. It became clear to us that a surface treatment service was a serious market need.”
