Corona Treatment
Corona treatment is a surface modification technique used to improve the adhesion properties of various materials, such as plastics, fabrics, films and foils. By exposing the surface to an electrical discharge (corona), the surface energy is increased, making it more receptive to resins, coatings, inks, adhesives and paints. This technique is used to enable resins to adequately bond to UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) (Dyneema/Spectra) and aramid
(Kevlar/Twaron) fabrics, enhance ink adhesion on plastic films and improve printing on flexible packaging substrates. It also helps with adhesion of paint and coatings on fabrics.
Lavender Composites offers a corona treatment service for composite fabrics, plastics and other substrates up to 1350 mm width, on both sides, and up to 5000 W power of treatment.
