| Flame Treating |
A method of rendering the surface of inert thermoplastics or other substitutes, particularly polyolefins, receptive to inks, lacquers, paints, adhesives, and the like by bathing the surface of the article in a highly oxidizing flame. This treatment oxidizes the surface layer of the article, making it receptive to coating. |
