Corona & Plasma Surface Treatment

We are often asked if plasma is the new corona. The simple answer is ‘no’.

Plasma is not a replacement for corona – but it is a similar technology that offers other benefits in cases where the substrate has a complex structure, or the downstream processing has specific requirements. But the simple answer doesn’t provide the full insight into what is a complex discussion.

In this 3rd edition of ‘Surface Treatment Insights’ we look closer at corona and plasma treatment and explain how and why they differ and discuss which is most appropriate for specific applications.
