Recent Studies Confirms Plasma Benefits
 


Plasma Studies
Studies by Tampere University of Technology confirms the benefits of Plasma surface treatment in the paper "The Influence of Atmospheric Plasma Treatment on Digital Print Quality of Extrusion Coated Paper".
The Tampere University of Technology has used Vetaphone equipment to perform studies of how Corona, flame and atmospheric plasma affect the surface properties of special films and textiles.

The highly efficient Vetaphone CP1 generator was used for the test, along with a Vetaphone station equipped with Plasma. All Vetaphone equipment can be upgraded to Plasma.

 

 

 

 

 

  

Conclusion
The Tampere University of Technology study concludes:

- Plasma is more effective than flame and corona.

- The same or higher effect can be reached with 50 % lower efficiency compared to Corona and flame.

- Surfaces that are plasma treated have the lowest rub-off values.

- Plasma treatments are more uniform in comparison with Corona and flame. This results in a more even print and therefore better quality.
