Dyne level is an important component for adhesion as it indicates a surface\u2019s ability to wet. However it is not uncommon to see different adhesion results from comparable dyne levels due to the polarity compatibility of the surface and the ink, adhesive or coating being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enercon\u2019s lab engineers recently used the KRUSS MSA device to test blown ion plasma treatment results on a variety of surfaces (Table 1). In each case the free surface energy was increased. Peel strength tests were conducted and for this group of materials total surface energy correlated to an increase in peel strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, in other trials with different materials, the total surface energy did not always correspond to an increase in peel strength. This is due to the specific polar and non polar components of both the surface and the adhesive coating in each trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to schedule a laboratory trial for your next application please&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.enerconind.com\/treating\/contact-us.aspx\">contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-white-color has-vivid-purple-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"8\">Table 1: Surface Energy Blown Ion Plasma Treatment Test Results (Measured in mN\/m)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td rowspan=\"2\">Material<\/td><td colspan=\"3\">Initial Surface Energy<\/td><td colspan=\"3\">Final Surface Energy<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Polar<\/td><td>Non<\/td><td>Total<\/td><td>Polar<\/td><td>Non<\/td><td>Total<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PP<\/td><td>1.5<\/td><td>28.1<\/td><td>29.7<\/td><td>14.3<\/td><td>35.4<\/td><td>49.6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PE<\/td><td>0.3<\/td><td>28.4<\/td><td>28.7<\/td><td>21.4<\/td><td>38.5<\/td><td>59.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PET<\/td><td>0.3<\/td><td>28.4<\/td><td>28.7<\/td><td>27.7<\/td><td>34.6<\/td><td>62.3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CF<\/td><td>2.2<\/td><td>35.4<\/td><td>37.6<\/td><td>20.1<\/td><td>37.7<\/td><td>57.2<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><table class=\"has-white-color has-vivid-purple-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"8\">Table 2: Peel Test Strength After Treatment<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material<\/td><td>Initial<\/td><td>Final<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PP<\/td><td>0.22<\/td><td>0.45<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PE<\/td><td>0.02<\/td><td>0.16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PET<\/td><td>0.16<\/td><td>0.21<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CF<\/td><td>0.27<\/td><td>0.31<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enercon\u2019s laboratory now includes a a KRUSS Mobile Surface Analyzer (MSA) to measure the effects of surface treatment.
