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.

Episode 2 - The Importance of Wetting

Achieving optimal wetting of coatings on paper surfaces can present its challenges. In this episode, Archipelago takes a deeper look into this critical aspect and provide insights into the equipment and process used to measure wetting. Viewers will be able to see how different coatings interact with paper substrates.

Viewers will also witness the contrast between coatings that bead up and those that seamlessly soak into the paper, highlighting the science behind achieving a waterproofing coating. This episode not only sheds light on the importance of wetting but also provides a glimpse into the methodology used to ensure successful coating outcomes.
