Read MoreWhy Measuring Treatment in kW is Dangerous
A common misconception is that the output number on your corona treater power supply is equal to the amount of treatment you are applying to your film. This is not the case. The output number represents the amount of power you are instructing the power supply to provide your system’s electrodes. The actual amount of…
Read MoreBlame the Corona Treater
The Truth about Dyne Levels, Watt Density & Adhesion When inks, coatings, adhesives and laminations don’t bond with substrates, converters are quick to blame the corona treater. And why shouldn’t they? Corona treaters are responsible for adhesion, right? Well, not exactly. This article looks into the relationship between the corona treater and adhesion. We’ll dive…
Read More5 Keys to Optimizing Your Surface Treating Operations
Applications for surface treating continue to grow at a remarkable rate. From the ever-expanding flexible packaging market to emerging technology sectors such as solar and batteries for electric vehicles, corona, flame and plasma technologies are being used to promote adhesion on all types of films and foils. Whether you are an industry veteran or new…
Read MoreCan you use Watt Density to Predict Dyne Levels?
The ultimate goal of any surface treatment system is to increase surface tension measured in dynes which then increases the wettability and adhesion characteristics of the surface. This allows you to add value to the substrate through printing, laminating, coating etc.. Corona treating systems achieve this by applying a given level of power over a…
Read MoreTips for maximizing the life of your ceramic electrodes
Ceramic electrodes are used extensively in the converting industry for creating corona to improve the surface energy of conductive and nonconductive films and foils. These rugged electrodes are designed to survive the cauldron of heat, ozone and electrical discharge created by the corona treating process. To ensure the electrodes continue to perform as designed operations…
