Enercon’s laboratory now includes a a KRUSS Mobile Surface Analyzer (MSA) to measure the effects of surface treatment. The MSA measures surface free energy with two liquid. Two parallel drops receive direct analysis of the contact angles and the derived results of the surface free energy. All steps are automated. The results enable well-founded statements…
Read MoreCorona vs. Plasma
Enercon receives many questions about the differences and similarities between corona and plasma surface treating. In all cases, the context of the question is very important as some industries have adopted unique definitions of each term. Technically, plasma is the fourth state of matter produced by the ionization of a gas. And since corona ionizes…
