Dyne-A-Flame

Three-Dimensional flame plasma treater

Enercon's Dyne-A-Flame™ sets new standards for flame treatment technology. It’s remarkably easy to use and operate. The system’s advanced combustion control system is expertly paired with PowerFlame™ burner technology for long lasting and uniform treatment.

Dyne-A-Flame™ offers a safe and reliable means of treatment for virtually any 3D surface. Treatment is fast, delicate and provides long lasting results.

Flame treatment is a perfect solution for difficult adhesion problems. It is widely used in the automotive, cosmetic, construction and other industries to effectively increase surface energy prior to printing, gluing, coating and laminating.

Dyne-A-Flame™ is extremely versatile and highly effective in the surface-treatment of plastic molded and extruded parts, electronics, medical devices and appliances. Enercon offers free lab evaluations to determine the best treatment for your application.

How flame plasma treatment works

A plasma field is formed when flammable gas and air are combined and combusted to form an intense blue flame.

Brief exposure to the energized particles within the flame affects the distribution and density of electrons on the substrate's surface and polarizes surface molecules through oxidation. This method also deposits other functional chemical groups that further promote ink wetting and adhesion.

Flame-plasma treatment generates more heat than other treatment methods, but creates greater surface energies with a longer shelf life. Flame treatment is commonly used to process injection and blow-molded products because of the thickness, size, and shape of the parts.

Key Applications

Printing

Surface treating parts prior to printing enhances ink adhesion. It makes printing easier, and for others it makes printing possible.

Painting

Injection molded or thermoformed parts are often treated prior to painting. Surface treatment allows the paint to adhere and also increases the life and durability of the paint on the object's surface.

Coating

Products are coated to protect their surfaces from harsh environments or as decoration. Doors, frames, and extrusions/profiles are often coated. The medical industry uses surface treating to improve adhesion of anti microbial/antibiotic coatings.

Bonding

Bonding is primarily used to increase the strength of an adhesive. The medical and auto motive industries rely on surface treating to remove contaminants such as dust, grease, oils, or mold to improve bonding. Typical cleaning solvents may be used for this purpose, but cleaning agents that leave a film residue upon evaporation will retard bonding.

Labeling

Surface treating caps, bottles and lids ensure that labels will not peel off before complete destruction of the label occurs. Air, flame and chemical plasma treatment of materials can effectively improve adhesion of labels.
