Corona treatment is now an essential part of the printing and conversion process for film and foil substrates. Driven by stricter environmental regulations, the wider use of polyolefin based packaging, and increasing quality standards, corona treating is now used world-wide in both the extrusion and converting industries. Understanding the corona treating process will enable the converter to meet environmental guidelines while at the same time achieving production targets and improving the product quality.
