Improving Adhesion: Flame Treatment of BOPP Film Explained
Like many polyolefins, BOPP's low surface energy makes it difficult for inks, coatings, and adhesives to stick effectively—until it’s properly treated.
One of the most efficient and scalable ways to improve adhesion on BOPP is flame treatment.

Packaged Burners Explained: The Solution for Grain, Bakery, Chemical and Textile Drying
Packaged burners are complete combustion systems delivered as a single, ready-to-install unit. Unlike traditional burner setups, which often require onsite integration of separate components, a packaged burner includes the burner head, fuel train, control system, and safety devices — all preassembled, pretested, and optimised for performance.

Flame Plasma Treatment or Corona? How to Optimise Adhesion and Printability in Plastic Processing
In plastic manufacturing, effective surface treatment is essential to ensure strong adhesion, high-quality printing, and long-term durability. Two leading technologies—flame plasma and corona treatment—achieve this by increasing the surface energy of plastic materials. However, their capabilities, performance, and limitations differ significantly.
