Stop High Voltage Arcs Before They Cause Downtime
In corona treating, a high voltage arc occurs when the intended path of electrical current is disrupted because it finds an easier path to ground. Over 80% of the time, the location of the high voltage arc is in the area of the electrode and ground roll where corona is created. This webinar explains how…

Read MoreTruth or Dyne? How to Properly Conduct Dyne Tests & What Your Results Really Mean
Corona treaters are used to increase a film’s surface energy to enable wettability & promote the adhesion of inks, coatings and adhesives. This change in surface energy is most commonly measured in dynes. And that’s where problems for extruders and converters begin. Poorly executed dyne tests produce unreliable results and assumptions about dyne levels lead…
