The Importance of Good Wetting

A Five-Part Mini Tutorial Series by Archipelago Technology

In the vast expanse of inkjet technology and innovation in the coating sector, the pivotal concept of 'wetting' often goes underrepresented. Yet, good wetting can mean the difference between technological success and failure. With this in mind, Archipelago Technology has put together a 5-part series of mini tutorials dedicated to clarifying the vital importance of proper wetting in various applications.  Each instalment looks into specific aspects of wetting, from its basic principles and science to its implications and applications in real-world scenarios.

The Power of Archipelago Technology: Revolutionising Coating Processes

Episode 1 - Coating with Archipelago - Introduction

Archipelago Technology is on a mission to redefine the possibilities of paper coatings with the innovative Powerdrop technology. This technology enables Archipelago to coat paper, adding plastic-like properties, while maintaining its recyclability. The benefit of Powerdrop lies in its ability to coat any shape with a variety of coatings. However, the coating must effectively wet the paper substrate.

In the first episode, Archipelago introduces the viewer to the Archipelago Technology and the remarkable Powerdrop technology in action. This episode sets the scene for exploring the intricate science behind achieving optimal coating wetting.
