The purpose of corona surface treatment of polymer-based materials is to increase surface wettability through electrical discharge. The low surface energy of polymer-based substrates often leads to poor adhesion of inks, glues and coatings. To obtain optimum adhesion, it is necessary to increase the surface energy of the substrate to just above that of the material to be applied. Surface Treatment with Corona results in good wetting of the material over the surface of the substrate and so improves adhesion.

LabelTEC is designed for the pre-treatment of conductive and non-conductive narrow webs. This type of system will treat either one or both sides of the web and will accommodate widths from 100-500mm, running at production speeds of up to 150m/min.
