Read MoreDyne Level Does Not Guarantee Surface Adhesion
Dyne levels are a great indicator of your chance for adhesion success. But dyne level does not guarantee adhesion. Let’s look at a few factors that affect adhesion results. These include coating and material compatibility, surface energy, process variables, material variables and ultimately bonding requirements such as entanglement. Coating (ink, adhesive, paint, etc…) and material…
Read MoreUnderstanding the Difference Between Blown-arc and Blown-ion Plasma Systems
Air plasma surface treating systems are divided into two categories; blown arc and blown ion. Enercon’s Blown-arc™ Series air plasma technology is formed by blowing atmospheric air past two high-voltage powered electrodes and is sometimes referred to as corona treatment. The electrical discharge positively charges the ion particles surrounding it. Through direct contact, these particles positively charge the…
