SURFACE TREATMENT FOR PLASTIC FILM MANUFACTURERS & FILM EXTRACTION
Plastic film producers manufacture films with tailor-made compositions and characteristics, making them ideally suited for their intended use. Whether utilized as packaging material, surface-finishing film, a laminate layer, or as the foundational product for converters, the film’s surface tension is paramount. It dictates the wettability and printability of a film’s surface. To enhance these characteristics, manufacturers subject freshly produced films to corona treatment, optimizing surface treatment.
Plastic films are produced in vast widths, sometimes exceeding 10 m in the case of BOPP films. Such dimensions necessitate specialized treatment systems capable of consistently delivering high power levels across expansive electrode widths. SOFTAL has specialized in crafting these treatment systems for decades.
Over 50 years of experience are reflected in the construction and manufacturing of our treatment stations, evident in meticulous attention to detail and sophisticated design. One notable example is our patented Intelliblade™ electrode, ensuring a homogeneous discharge and a consistent electrode gap across the entire width, even under high power and heat conditions.
Naturally, maintenance-free operation and professional service are foundational for a brand that has become emblematic of quality, craftsmanship, and reliability.
