Surface Energy Determines Adhesion Performance

Polymer-based substrates naturally have low surface energy, making it difficult for inks, coatings, and adhesives to properly bond. The result is inconsistent wet-out, poor print quality, delamination, and avoidable production waste. Without proper surface activation, adhesion becomes unpredictable and production risk increases.

Reliable adhesion begins with controlled surface activation.

How Corona Treatment Improves Adhesion

The Advantage Corona Treater is designed to precisely modify the surface of polymer substrates, increasing surface energy and creating a more compatible bonding surface for inks, coatings, and adhesives.

Through controlled high-voltage corona discharge, the system activates the substrate at a molecular level, introducing polar functional groups that improve wettability and promote strong, consistent adhesion.

Reliable adhesion begins with controlled surface energy. The Advantage delivers that control.

Technical Advantages

Printing

In printing applications, consistent surface energy is critical for proper ink wet-out and adhesion.

The Advantage corona treatment system prepares polymer films and substrates to receive flexographic, gravure, and digital inks by increasing surface energy and promoting uniform ink anchorage.

Ideal for flexographic printing, gravure printing, and digital printing.

Coating

For coatings to perform as intended, they must fully wet and anchor to the substrate surface. Inadequate surface energy can lead to uneven coating distribution, weak bonds, or premature failure.

The Advantage corona treatment system prepares polymer surfaces for improved coating receptivity, enabling better uniformity, adhesion strength, and long-term performance.


layers

Laminating

Strong lamination depends on proper surface preparation. When substrates lack sufficient surface energy, adhesive bonds can weaken over time, leading to delamination or compromised package integrity.

By increasing surface energy prior to lamination, the Advantage supports stronger adhesive bonding and improved durability in multi-layer flexible packaging structures.
