Corona Treatment
A custom made system designed to increase the surface energy of a substrate so that inks, coating and adhesives will “wet-out”and adhere to the surface.– corona treatment only has an effect on the
surface it does not “go through” the material.
Capacitor….The simplestform of a what acorona treater is.

Ozone (O3)
– Ozone is a by-product of the corona process.
– Ozone must be evacuated from the corona treater and out of the work area and building.
– In some cases ozone may not be directly vented to atmosphere. An elimination system is required.
![Page 17: Enercon Industries Corporation - metaldecorators.commetaldecorators.com/IMDA 2004/Tom Gilbertson/IMDA... · 1 Enercon Industries Corporation Making Your Job Easier- Understanding](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030501/5aad34ce7f8b9a8d678dcf43/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Ozone Decomposition Systems
– Insures compliance with OSHA and EPA Clean Air Act ozone standards.
– Three Stage Filtration System– Permits direct release of exhaust stream
to the atmosphere.– Eliminates 99.999% of Ozone from the
Exhaust Stream from Corona Treating or other ozone generating processes.

Ozone DecomposerOperation:Ozone contaminated air is input at the top of the unit and flows through the particle filter. Here, particle matter and dust is removed to ensure it does not contaminate or clog the catalyst bed. The contaminated air then passes through a pre-filter material prior to the catalyst bed for additional air stream filtration. The ozone contaminated air then moves through the bed of metal oxide pellets which converts the ozone (O3) into molecular oxygen (O2). If no other contaminant is present, the exhaust can then be vented into the atmosphere.

Summary
Corona treatment cleans the surface to increase surface tension.Dyne solutions are used to test for changes in surface tension.A corona treating system consists of a power supply and a discharge station.Treating systems are specifically made to fit each application.
