Dyne solutions have been the most common method of quality checking material surface cleanliness for decades. Their ubiquity and low cost have led them to be heavily relied upon by manufacturers even though they are imprecise, destructive to...
Read MoreWorking with polymers presents a unique manufacturing challenge. These materials have low inherent surface energy, making adhesion difficult. BTG Labs’ products are a direct replacement for dyne ink tests and allow film & flexible packaging manufacturers to safely and accurately quantify the quality of material surfaces and gain confidence that adhesion processes will be successful.
Common Film & Flexible Packaging Applications
- Replacement for dyne ink testing
- Implement surface quality specifications for incoming material from suppliers
- Define optimum corona treatment levels
- Verify and monitor corona treatment in production
- Eliminate product scrap due to destructive dyne ink testing
- Ensure successful lamination, the application of coatings and metallizing
- Fix printing and sealing problems
- Pinpoint migration of low molecular weight components
- Control the effects of aging on material surface quality while it’s in storage
- Identify environmental contaminants on rollers or transfer areas
- Verify and maximize the effectiveness of bump treatment
