Oxford Advanced Surfaces Group (OAS) announces that it will shortly make a new adhesion promotion product available for customer evaluation. The Onto™ EP1010 surface treatment is part of the EP1000 series of adhesion promoters and has been designed for application to a substrate specifically using dip coating equipment.
Onto™ EP1000 treatments provide adhesion promotion of polyurethanes, epoxies, silicones and siloxane-based epoxy coatings to the substrate surface. Due to the highly reactive nature of Onto™ materials, the treatment can bond to even the most difficult substrates including engineering plastics and thermoplastic composites. This enables materials with excellent bulk properties such as UHMWPE, PET, PEN, PEEK, PI and other semi-crystalline materials to be used in applications where the adhesion of the coating even under harsh environmental conditions is crucial.
Sarah Vickers, product manager, commented "The EP1000 evaluation product for bar coating applications has proven popular and many customers are evaluating the product on flat sheets and films. Onto™ EP1010 is specifically designed for dip coating systems so it also enables customers to trial the treatment on three dimensional substrates such as moulded parts and fibres. Users from industries that typically apply their coatings by dip processes will be able to test the effectiveness of the novel adhesion promotion treatment in more production-like conditions."
We are now taking enquiries for Evaluation Packs of Onto™ EP1010 - the packs will contain all the required components and guidelines for a small scale assessment of the treatment.
