Global Corona Treatment Stations Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

Corona treatment (sometimes referred to as air plasma) is a surface modification technique that uses a low temperature corona discharge plasma to impart changes in the properties of a surface. The corona plasma is generated by the application of high voltage to an electrode that has a sharp tip. The plasma forms at the tip. A linear array of electrodes is often used to create a curtain of corona plasma. Materials such as plastics, cloth, or paper may be passed through the corona plasma curtain in order to change the surface energy of the material. All materials have an inherent surface energy. Surface treatment systems are available for virtually any surface format including dimensional objects, sheets and roll goods that are handled in a web format. Corona treatment is a widely used surface treatment method in the plastic film, extrusion, and converting industries.

Most electrode failures are caused by an excessive buildup of heat. Excessive heat build-up from insufficient airflow is caused by improper system installation or lack of system maintenance. As the heat intensifies the ceramic tube begins to expand. This is normal and the electrode is designed to handle this expansion.

If the airflow around the electrode is insufficient because of improper exhaust installation or lack of maintenance, the heat can become severe and stress the ceramic tube. When the heat reaches excessive levels, the stress may cause hairline cracks or even fractures to develop in the ceramic.

These heat related ruptures typically run down the length of the ceramic tube. Ruptures compromise the dielectric strength of the ceramic wherever they occur. This results in a higher current discharge in those areas. Ultimately, the dielectric properties of the ceramic will completely fail at these points causing "pin-holes" - points where the high voltage current will arc directly to ground. The key to preventing this type of failure is to ensure proper airflow across the electrodes.
