About Us

An often hidden technology, plasma and corona treatment is common throughout a wide range of applications worldwide, ranging from print adhesion on syringes, to coating adhesion on automotive components and tape adhesion on aerospace products. Pretreating a material before applying these adhesive technologies is usually used for improving adhesion, or for giving greater repeatability. It is most often used on non stick materials, such as polymers like Polypropylene, which are tricky to work with for adhesion without treatment. Other materials, such as metals or ceramics may have a higher degree of adhesion performance, but a treatment using plasma might just even out any process problems, such as removing finger print contamination or oils from the manufacturing process.

From our UK site, Ebble group support customers from getting to know the technology for the first time with our lab and production facility that can be visited by intrigued companies, through to full scale machine installation and integration, or full scale sub contract manufacturing. Equipment ranges from smaller systems for installing on a production line, to wheel in, turn key automated systems. Contract manufacturing could be small research led projects with a range of parameters, to larger volume continuous production with quality control and further processes such as adhesive bonding or printing.

All of this is supported with a variety of products including quality testing tools like dyne inks and pens, as well as more technical items such as contact angle meters and adhesion testers.
