ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARISON

FTS Technologies offers advanced surface treatment technologies, such as ATmaP™, which provide significant benefits to the global plastics finishing industry by enhancing the adhesion of coatings to polymeric substrates without relying on costly and environmentally harmful adhesion-promoting primers.

Traditional primers, primarily composed of CPO resins, require a substantial amount of solvents to reach a sprayable viscosity (6.5lb to 7lb per gallon) and contain less than 10% solids. This reliance on solvents raises serious environmental concerns and contributes to high costs associated with waste disposal and destruction.

In contrast, ATmaP™ is an environmentally friendly process that eliminates the discharge of solvents (VOCs or HAPs), removing the need for expensive abatement systems. The capital and operational costs of implementing ATmaP™ are a fraction of those associated with current manufacturing processes. This process significantly reduces solvent emissions, natural gas usage, and dependence on government permitting.

The ATmaP™ process can be crucial for companies in several ways:

• • • Setting up a new plant where VOC discharge is not permitted
    • Continuing operations when environmental licenses are reduced or revoked
    • Increasing production capacity when reaching VOC limits

In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, adopting environmentally friendly technologies like ATmaP™ can lead to environmental tax credits, reduced manufacturing costs, and improved profitability.

FTS TECHNOLOGIES INNOVATIVE ENERGY MONITOR

Maximizing energy efficiency is crucial for any production facility. FTS Technologies products, like those of competitors, consume hydrocarbon fuel, leading to operating costs. Controlling these costs requires maintaining peak efficiency at all times. FTS Technologies’ automated flame treatment products use Oxygen Analyzers to ensure optimal air/gas ratios. Without an oxygen analyzer, these ratios can fluctuate, causing CO production or excessive fuel consumption, thus increasing costs.

Many flame treatment units on the market lack the means to ensure optimal combustion, leading to inefficiency.

FTS Technologies’ ENERGY MONITOR ensures clean combustion and optimal conditions for all gas-fired premixed combustion systems. This portable, plug-in tool provides accurate air/gas ratio measurements. Its color screen clearly displays current conditions, allowing adjustments for optimal efficiency.

The ENERGY MONITOR helps reduce fuel use, lower energy costs, eliminate harmful CO production, and improve process quality. Whether you have an FTS Technologies unit or another brand, the ENERGY MONITOR maximizes energy efficiency.
