Surface Treatment
Maximum efficiency in surface treatment due to the perfect electrode
Ceramics in surface technology
Surface treatment by means of plasma or corona discharge involves the cost-effective and highly efficient preparation of plastics or metal surfaces so that they can be printed. In order for the corresponding systems to be able to guarantee this, a strongly electrically insulating, fatigue-resistant, reliable and geometrically flexible, but very precise high-performance electrode is required.
Corona profiles with numerous benefits
Aluminum oxide as a predestined material for corona profiles convinces with special properties such as resilience, high dielectric strength and a good price-performance ratio. In addition, ceramic corona profiles for the electrodes are characterized by a long service life and process stability.
Alumina for high voltage applications
Schunk Technical Ceramics offers profiles for corona & plasma surface treatment machines made of high performance ceramic materials including very pure alumina. Schunk's long profiles (up to 3m) made of alumina material impress with very high purity as well as high dielectric strength, thus offering maximum reliability. The material allows high voltages in use, guaranteeing more efficient machines, very high straightness, even at three meters long, and consistent quality. All these requirements are very important for the application of the profiles in the high voltage range.
Advantages of Schunk's aluminum oxide profiles:
- very high dielectric strength
- very high purity and homogeneity => high reliability even at highest voltages and in continuous use
- very high straightness even with long lengths up to 3m
