Special Treatment

"When a sample product or substrate comes in, we measure the dyne level untreated, then we determine what watt density it takes to get to the customers requirement, or if we can get any higher in dyne level. The watt density is determined by the power used, speed of the line, the web width, and one side or two sides to be treated. Once known, consistent dyne levels should be generated on a day to day basis. That's where the additives and slip agent amounts and types come into play when mixed in with a specific customer's resins. After receiving correct and consistent customer application info, we can begin our testing protocol in our lab to determine the watt density that ultimately determines a consistent treat or dyne level. The better the information, the better the product or equipment sized specifically for the application."
