When performance matters, find out why more converters & extruders specify Enercon over any other brand.
When you purchase a new converting or extrusion line from an OEM, you have the opportunity to specify the brand of corona treater that you prefer. OEMS in our industry tell us when a brand is specified, it’s almost always Enercon…and with good reason. Enercon was founded nearly 50 years ago on principles that remain the…
Read MoreMeasuring Surface Energy On Non-Woven Substrates
There is no easy way to determine changes in surface energy on non-woven and woven substrates and we know of no official standards such as an ASTM method but there is a procedure. There are several methods to characterize the surface energy of nonwovens fibers. Of these, contact angle is the most readily applied. One…
Read MoreRecommended Surface Energy & Treatment Ranges for Printing & Coating Polymer Surfaces
We’re often asked what dyne level do I need to print on a particular type of film. Its a complex question that includes many variables beyond the material type and method of printing or coating. We can however provide general guidelines that you can use to start your own evaluations. The tables below list general…
Read MoreUsing Dyne Solutions and Dyne Pens to Measure Surface Energy On Non-Porous Substrates
Non-porous substrates, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and foils, need to have their surface energies altered in order for the proper flexographic ink adhesion to occur. An old general rule of thumb is that the substrate should have a dyne level (surface-energy measurement) of at least 10 dynes higher than the surface energy of the ink…
