Best ink adhesion for screen printing on glass – including on bottles with polymer coating
In
the final step in the manufacturing process, glass is coated to avoid
damage and scratches on bottles due to friction during transport.
Afterward
these glass bottles are generally printed in a screen printing
process. The type of coating that was performed during manufacturing
determines if the printing ink used can bond well. To ensure a strong
bond and even coloration, especially on polymer coating, plasma
activation is required to increase surface tension.
Thanks
to its robust jet systems and simple inline integration, Openair®
Plasma technology offers an optimal solution for creating the
necessary surface activation on the glass containers.
