High productivity, competition and economy are the main reasons, which have led towards thinnercoatings and higher line speeds in field of paper converting. This modern trend has set high demands forthe product properties, especially challenging is to establish the adequate level of adhesion required forcoatings, inks, toners, etc. Another challenge in paper converting is the large variety of materials in use.When using very diverging base materials, such as papers, paperboards, and non-polar polymerslaminates and films, the surface treatment becomes particularly essential in order to obtain the satisfactoryadhesion properties.
