Adhesives have a starring role in the assembly of myriad items—from airplanes and automobiles to packaging and envelopes. One could say that they are the glue that holds it all together, as the saying goes.
Industrial assembly and decorating operations are increasing their use of atmospheric plasma and flame surface treaters to improve adhesive bonding. These safe and green technologies activate surfaces to enable stronger bonds with plastics, composites, wood, glass and metal surfaces.
