iPlasma

Is iPLASMA a replacement for Corona – No!

This is a question we are often asked, so let us explain what it is, and how it differs.

In 95% of cases, Corona treatment of a substrate is still the perfect way to improve surface adhesion and deliver a first-class product. By modifying the surface energy of a non-absorbent material, like film or foil, Corona treatment will allow inks, lacquers and laminate film to adhere correctly and uniformly, and produce a quality result.

But, in the remaining 5% of cases, Corona treatment will not work because of the complexity of the chemical make-up of the substrate. And in these situations, Plasma treatment, or as we brand it ‘iPlasma®’, is needed to allow a secure bond. The simple difference is that where the Corona process is carried out in ambient air, iPlasma treatment requires a controlled environment and the use of a dopant gas.

Generally seen as a ‘softer’ process than Corona, iPlasma treatment offers different functionality and a new range of surface abilities. This is because the lower heat level has less impact on the surface, and the controlled environment allows the surface tension to be tuned to meet specific requirements. As a result, iPlasma is often seen as a combination of Corona and liquid primer but is in fact far more sophisticated and flexible in its capability.

Since introducing Plasma in 2010, Vetaphone has continued to develop the technology and the latest version of ‘iPlasma®’ is the most eco-friendly process available on the market, offering low running costs and reduced energy consumption.

  • As the principal manufacturer of narrow web presses in the western world, and a global market leader in flexo technology, it is essential that ancillary technology fitted to Mark Andy presses meets our own critical standards of performance and reliability. The quality of Vetaphone design and engineering makes them our preferred supplier of corona equipment for all Mark Andy presses in Europe.

    Mark Andy / Mr Tom Cavalco, Managing Director
  • We knew exactly what we needed – Vetaphone listened and responded in the same way that we do with our customers – and, they were the only manufacturer to offer a performance and dyne level guarantee on the material we use. That shows real confidence in your product.

    Speciality Printing / Mr Francis Poirer, Senior VP Operations
  • Vetaphone are a key OEM supplier to AB Graphic, in the time that we have worked together their Corona treatment systems have been of a consistently high standard of quality. They have assisted us with good sales support, engineer training and technical back up providing an all-around service that surpasses our expectations. I am happy to say that to date Vetaphone has been one of our best suppliers and I look forward to a long and beneficial relationship.”

    AB Graphic International / Mr David Kirkham, Director
  • As demand continues to evolve and new substrates enter the market, Vetaphone systems allow us to run many more types of films and meet our ever-growing customer needs. The fine control offered by Vetaphone Corona technology plays an important part in helping us deliver improved printing and coating quality, and stronger lamination strength, thus bolstering our position in demanding technologies such as automotive and conductive films markets.

    Transcontinental Advanced Coatings / Mr Georg Rose, Vice President, Global Sales & Marketing
  • They deliver a better finished and press ready product than other suppliers. We chose to specify Vetaphone Corona Treaters on all Edale presses for a number of reasons. We have had a long standing relationship with Vetaphone and in this time have always received good support and had no problems with reliability of the units out in the field.

    Edale / Mr James Boughton, Managing Director
  • We have very strict and demanding specifications that have been successfully achieved during our comprehensive tests. We are more than pleased to welcome on board the talented group of professionals from Vetaphone, with the latest state of the art technology products.

    CEDO SP. Z O. O. / Mr Andrzej Majewski, Site Director
  • We see Vetaphone as the market leader and re presently investigating ways to fully integrate its technology within our machine lines. This will save costly space on the production floor, and improve functionality for the operator. We would do this only with a supplier whose technology matches our own in terms of quality and reliability.

    Dae Kwang / Mr Tae Sik Bae, President
  • Our business is very specialized, with customers placing high emphasis on quality and reliability, while at the same time looking for turnkey solutions. In these circumstances it is vital that the integrity of our sub suppliers’ technology matches that of our own products. In Vetaphone we have found an excellent synergy
    that dovetails with our own rigorous quality control.
