Flame Treatment System for Surface Activation of Paper or Paperboard
Flame Treatment System for Surface Activation of Paper or Paperboard
The flame treatment process is used to activate the surface of paper or paperboard. The flame modifies the outermost molecular layers of the surface without burning the material.
Typical Purposes
-. Improved Printability
The surface energy is increased, resulting in:
- Better adhesion of printing inks
- More uniform ink distribution
- Reduced ink rub-off and abrasion
- Improved Coating Adhesion
Before applying:
- Coatings
- Varnishes
- Adhesives
- Plastic coatings (PE, PP)
the surface is activated to enhance coating adhesion.
- Treatment of Silicone-Coated or Heavily Sized Papers
Some specialty papers have very closed, low-energy surfaces. Flame treatment can slightly oxidize the surface, thereby improving wettability and adhesion properties.
- Paperboard and Packaging Industry
Flame treatment was particularly common for:
- Beverage cartons
- Packaging board
- Label papers
- Composite materials (paper/plastic laminates)
Technical Principle
The flame briefly generates surface temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. During this process:
- Waxes
- Organic contaminants
- Weakly bonded surface layers
are removed or decomposed, while polar functional groups are simultaneously formed on the surface. These polar groups increase surface energy and significantly improve adhesion.
