Corona Surface Treatment vs. Plasma Surface Treatment Solutions
While both processes improve UV curing operations, corona and plasma surface treatments use slightly different methods, resulting in varying capabilities better suited to specific materials or applications. Operational performance, materials used, and capabilities differ in each process:- Corona Surface Treatment: Utilizing high-voltage electrical discharge in ambient air, corona treatment machines ionize the material surface to increase surface energy and improve adhesion of large flexible surfaces, such as plastic films, paper, and foils.
- Plasma Surface Treatment: Using ionized gas streams through focused nozzles, plasma treatment equipment imparts higher and longer-lasting surface energy to clean or etch substrates, as well as complex shapes, 3D objects, metals, and applications with highly tailored surface properties.
