The SurfaceOuter surface layers play an important role to surface properties

”uncleanness” like dust, dirt oil etc. >1µm

Adsorption layers, such as gasses and moist 1-10nm

Reactive layers, like oxides,

additives, release agents etc. 1-10nm

Adhesion point – surface

Modified polymer structure

Non modified polymer

material.

Reaction on the Surface

Surface treatment

Bild: Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Simone Fischer

- Radicals created by the plasma discharge breaks the polymer bonds on the surface.

- Oxygen containing groups will be introduced into the polymer surface

� Increased wettability on the polymer surface

Surface Energy

Contact Angle:

� The wettability can be measure using contact angle

meters

� Both Polar and Non Polar measurements are

possible

� The contact angle is measure as the tangent line

from the ”coroner of the water droplet”

Surface EnergyNorms for measuring surface energy

� The measured value is referred to as mN/m or

dyne/cm

� If the dispensed liquid pulls together and forms

droplets (within 2-3 seconds) the value is not

achieved

� This type of surface measurement is based on ISO

8296. Method for determining surface energy on PE

film.

Surface Energy - Conclusion

NOTE!

� A high Dyne level (mN/m) does not automatically mean

that good adhesion is guaranteed

� Test inks can be used, with background in adhesion tests,

to verify treatment levels

� Test inks can ”detect” dirty areas on the material.

� Adhesion tests is always recommended

Shelf Life of Surface Treatment

The shelf life of treated surfaces is very different and varies

from minutes to years. Most materials is in the range ”weeks”

Factors:

� Material

� Surface treatment method

� Plasma vs. Gas flame treatment

� Level of additives

� Age of polymer on time of treatment

� Air humidity

� Temperature

� Etc.

Corona vs. Plasma Treatment

What is the difference between Corona and Plasma Treatment ?

Everything is a Plasma and for instance Corona is just a part of a Plasma !

Plasma Treatment

Corona – Low frequency

DBD – Dielectric Barrier Discharge

Corona – High frequency

Jet System –

Atmospheric Plasma

Gas flame treatment

Vacuum System
