Surface Treatment with Ozone
OzoneTEC product description
Tantec has developed its OzoneTEC System to treat the inside of products such as surfboards, coolers, ice boxes, jacket pipes, small boats, etc. – products that consist of fiberglass on the outside and foam on the inside – also called sandwich construction.
The OzoneTEC produces ozone, which is blown into the shell and is left inside for a while before it is sucked out again. Thereafter the Polyurethane Foam is injected. It then hardens and adheres to the inside of the shell.
Features:
Ability to treat the interior of rotomolded parts
Higher surface energy levels achieved compared to stock resins
On-demand treating
Flexible settings to allow for treatment of various product sizes and dimensions
Small footprint
No exotic treating gases required
Treatment of rotomolded parts
Rotomolded parts are typically hollow thermoset plastic parts. The resin is heated and melted, and by rotating the mold the resin fills the mold cavity creating the part with a hollow inside.
Many of these parts require foam insulation for improving the thermal properties and rigidity of the parts.
Continuous rotation uniforms walls
Continuous rotation of the mold during the process ensures uniform thicknesses of the walls. The OzoneTEC plays a key role in helping to activate the inside surface of the part to improve adhesion.
An OzoneTEC-system typically consists of a generator, HV-transformer, control box, compressed air system, and a customized frame. OzoneTEC can be installed as an in-line process or as a standalone solution.
Standard OzoneTEC
This product is manufactured as a standard machine to match common production requirements. It offers a proven configuration with defined footprint, treatment concept and machine interface, making it easy to integrate into industrial production.
Customized OzoneTEC
This product can be customized to fit your production. Tantec can adapt the solution to your part geometry, process requirements and production flow, including footprint, cycle time, chamber size, part capacity and machine interface.

FAQ
What is OzoneTEC used for?
OzoneTEC is an ozone-based surface treatment solution for improving adhesion on plastic and foam surfaces inside products with sandwich construction. It is suitable for parts such as surfboards, coolers, ice boxes, jacket pipes and small boats, where the outside is made from fiberglass and the inside consists of foam. The process helps create a more reliable surface before the next production, assembly or quality step.
How does OzoneTEC work?
OzoneTEC uses controlled ozone surface activation to treat the surface inside selected components.
Which materials or components can be used with OzoneTEC?
OzoneTEC is suitable for plastic components and surfaces where improved wetting or adhesion is required. The final setup depends on the material, geometry and production requirements.
What production challenge does OzoneTEC help solve?
OzoneTEC helps solve challenges related to low surface energy, poor wetting and unreliable adhesion.
What are the key advantages of OzoneTEC?
Key advantages include ozone treatment, controlled exposure and application-specific setup. These features make OzoneTEC practical for industrial use where uptime, control and repeatability matter.
When should you consider OzoneTEC?
You should consider OzoneTEC when surface preparation is critical to product quality.
Can OzoneTEC be delivered as a standard or customized solution?
Yes. Tantec can provide OzoneTEC as a standard solution or adapt it to your product, material, geometry, line speed and process requirements. The final configuration is selected together with you.
