Aerogen is spreading its wings in the European marketplace, which is why it is targeting Fakuma as a crucial platform for its special flame treatment technology.
Fire
The respected surface adhesion improvement specialist is known for its high quality flame treatment technology for the surface improvement of plastics.
Flame treatment technology is widely utilised throughout the plastics industry. It provides a practical and economical method of preparing surfaces to give excellent adhesion prior to painting, bonding, laminating, labeling and coating. The broad utilisation of flame treatment across industry distinguishes the technology for giving a significant advantage to the processing of plastic articles for cosmetics, packing, automotive and converting.
Flame treatment technology activates substrates such as polypropylene. This surface change is in particular by surface oxidization from the combustion chemistry of the flame. The flame treatment transforms the surface from being inert and very hard to applying a coating, to the surface becoming inherently attractive to many types of coating. This means of significantly improving surface adhesion characteristics enables many special coatings to be applied and remain permanently bonded to the surface.
Aerogen has exhibited at the Fakuma trade show before. This time Aerogen is bringing machinery to the show for the first time, allowing visitors to the Aerogen stand to see first-hand the quality of the UK designed and manufactured Aerogen equipment.
The international feel of Fakuma is very well suited to Aerogen, as in the region of 85 per cent of Aerogens flame treatment business activities for the last 40 years has been international trade.
Aerogen equipment on static display at the Fakuma trade fair will be the Aerogen FT Auto FRC flame treatment combustion generator device along with a variety of flame treating burner tools. This FT Auto FRC (Flame Treater Automotive Flow Ratio Control) is a combustion generator device that is typically utilised throughout the automotive industry. Providing the burner tool with a fuel mixture for the purpose of flame treatment surface adhesion improvement. Applications for the equipment include flaming of car bumpers prior to painting, flaming of premium car instrument panels prior to laminating with leather, flaming of car interior components prior to flocking. In each instance the flame treatment enables the coating to have truly excellent and long lasting adhesion to the surface.
The FT Auto FRC features process and safety devices for autonomous flame operation managing the flame to an optimum condition for high quality reliable repeatable results with the ability for the auditing of process parameters. The technology is a combination of flame optimisation for the purpose of surface adhesion improvement and flame optimisation in terms of efficient fuel usage.
At Fakuma Aerogen wishes to extend its reach to companies that are newly considering flame treatment and companies that are already familiar with the technology. People with a new interest in flame treatment should come and see Aerogen at Fakuma. Aerogen can further explain the benefits of using the technology and explain features of the flame treatment equipment. Those with existing flame treatment installations can discuss improvement possibilities for automation of data collection, process measurement and control of the flame device for the purpose of faster flame treatment processing, improving flame optimisation and more economical gas usage.
