At Medibrane, polymer treatment plays a vital role in optimizing polymers for various manufacturing applications, ensuring that each product meets the unique requirements of modern industries. By applying precise chemical and thermal treatments, we can adjust polymer properties to suit specific processes such as spray and dip coating.
Spray coating is a method where a thin polymer film is applied to a surface by spraying, allowing for quick and uniform coverage. On the other hand, dip coating involves immersing the object into a polymer solution, creating a uniform coating that provides excellent surface coverage. Both methods require polymers with customized properties, including the right balance of viscosity, surface tension, and adhesion.
Chemical treatment is one of the key techniques we use to optimize polymers for coating processes. By adjusting the polymer’s viscosity and adhesion through the addition or removal of specific additives, altering its molecular weight, and incorporating crosslinking agents, we can enhance the surface bonding capabilities. This ensures better adhesion to substrates and improves the overall performance of the coating.
Thermal treatments, such as annealing, are also essential to achieve the desired polymer characteristics. Through controlled heating, we modify the polymer’s crystallinity, improve mechanical properties, and reduce internal stress, leading to better dimensional stability and long-term durability.
By combining both chemical and thermal treatments, Medibrane delivers high-performance films with precise thickness, strong adhesion, and superior mechanical characteristics. This comprehensive approach ensures that every polymer coating meets the specific demands of your application, delivering reliable and consistent results.
