Why Measuring Treatment in kW is Dangerous

CoronaFlex™ Pro Touchscreen

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…

Can you use Watt Density to Predict Dyne Levels?

graph-watt-density-to-dyne-comparison-ldpe.j

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…

Tips for maximizing the life of your ceramic electrodes

tech-bulletin-enercon-maximize-ceramic-electrode-life.

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…
