How to Choose Between a Plasma Treatment Machine and a Corona Treatment Machine?

When considering whether to choose a corona treatment machine or a plasma treatment machine, understanding their different characteristics and pros and cons is crucial for selecting the equipment that best meets your needs.

Advantages of Plasma Treatment Machines:

  • Wide Material Applicability: Suitable for various materials, including plastics, metals, glass, ceramics, paper, etc.

  • Suitable for Curved and Irregular Surfaces: Ideal for treating materials with curved and irregular shapes, such as bottles, containers, plastic tubes, rubber tires, etc.

  • Efficient Surface Treatment: Capable of deep treatment, providing better results, especially suitable for high-precision and high-cleanliness applications.

  • Low-Temperature Treatment: Suitable for heat-sensitive materials, without damaging the base material.

  • Versatility: Provides multiple surface treatment functions, including cleaning, activation, and coating, meeting various industrial needs.

  • Safety: Can safely treat metal materials without causing conductivity or combustion.

  • Higher Treatment Efficiency: Plasma treatment machines can achieve dyne levels over 10 higher than corona treatment machines, necessary for UV or water-based ink printing on PP and BOPP.

  • Dyne Level: Indicates the surface energy of the material. The higher the dyne level, the better the ink adhesion. Water-based inks have the poorest adhesion, requiring high dyne levels on the material surface.

 

Advantages of Corona Treatment Machines:

  • Suitable for Various Materials: Ideal for plastic films, sheets, aluminum foil, metallized films (such as PP, PE, PET, OPP, PS, ABS, etc.), paper, and fibers.

  • Curved Surface Corona Treatment: Especially suitable for treating curved and irregularly shaped materials, such as bottles, containers, plastic tubes, rubber tires, etc.

  • Lower Equipment Cost: Corona treatment machines have lower purchase and operating costs.

  • Simple Operation: Easier to operate and maintain, without the need for highly specialized technicians.

  • Safety: Corona treatment machines use low-temperature high-energy treatment, which is safe and non-combustible.

  • Efficient Surface Activation: Significantly enhances the surface energy of materials, making inks and coatings adhere more easily.

  • No Air Supply Needed: Does not require an air compressor or external air supply.

 

Selection Recommendations:

  • Plasma Treatment Machine: If you handle a variety of materials, including metals and glass, and require high-precision, high-cleanliness surface treatment, the F1Z-1000 Plasma Surface Treatment Machine (Rotating Gun) is your best choice.

  • Curved Surface Corona Treatment Machine: If you need to treat not only flat materials but also curved and irregularly shaped materials, such as bottles and containers, while controlling costs and simplifying operations, the FC-FGX-D Curved Surface Corona Treatment Machine will better meet your needs.

  • Sheet Corona Treatment Machine: If you mainly handle plastic films or sheet packaging materials and want easy and simple treatment, the FC-P40 Sheet Corona Treatment Machine is more suitable for you.
