THE CORONA TREATMENT DIGEST
A diligently curated publication of the latest on packaging industry trends, news, and corona treatment. Written by experts.
Why do you need corona treatment in blown and cast film manufacturing?
Corona treatment is popular in the manufacture of flexible films for its ability to raise the surface energy of flexible films, rendering them more accepting of converting processes like printing, coating and laminating.
- Offer your customers pre-treated flexible films.
- Improve quality of converting processes like printing, laminating or coating.

Benefits of Corona Treaters in Extrusion Processes
Using corona treaters in extrusion applications offers several benefits, including improved adhesion, surface properties, and print quality. By improving the surface properties of the material, manufacturers can enhance the performance and durability of extruded products.
Improved Adhesion
One of the most significant benefits of using a corona treater on an extrusion line is the improved adhesion of the extruded material to other materials. This increased adhesion results in better bonding between materials and enhances the overall performance and durability of the extruded products.
Improved Print Quality
The corona treatment process also improves the print quality of extruded products. This benefit is especially crucial in the packaging industry, where high-quality printing is essential for branding and product visibility.
Enhanced Surface Properties
Corona treatment also enhances the surface properties of the extruded material. The treated material has improved wetting properties, making it easier to coat, print, and bond with other materials.
Increased Productivity
Installing a corona treater on an extrusion line can increase productivity by reducing the amount of rejected and reworked material. With improved adhesion, print quality, and surface properties, manufacturers can produce higher quality extruded products with fewer defects and rejections.
Greater Flexibility
By using a corona treater, manufacturers can increase the flexibility of their extrusion processes. With improved adhesion and surface properties, manufacturers can use a broader range of materials and coatings, resulting in more versatile extruded products that meet a wider range of customer needs.
Improved Customer Satisfaction
The improved adhesion, surface properties, and print quality that result from using a corona treater can lead to improved customer satisfaction. Customers will appreciate the higher quality and durability of the extruded products, which can result in repeat business and positive word-of-mouth referrals.
