Developed to provide a safer and more sustainable adhesive solution for the printing industry, Lohmann has launched the DuploFLEX® 5 GRIP adhesive tape. It uses 50% less solvent in the coating process and is more sustainable than traditional plate mounting tape.
As The underlying structure during the printing process, the plate mounting tape, contributes significantly to print quality through its reliability and damping properties.Duploflex, a unique adhesive formulation® 5 GRIP has excellent adhesion to the sleeve side.
This new adhesive tape combines the viscoelastic properties of polymer foam with a solvent-free pure acrylic adhesive specifically developed for easy application and removal. The composite construction ensures excellent print quality and prevents edge lifting and plate damage during removal.
At the same time, plate mounting tapes must meet the increasing demand for sustainable products and processes. No running edge lifting, makeready machine downtime, and generally high material consumption were the key factors considered in the GRIP tape formulation.Together with leading equipment manufacturer DuploFLEX® 5 The reusability of GRIP was measured to be significantly improved for the first time.
“Solvent-free adhesives and 100% recyclable packaging are part of our corporate strategy for sustainability,” explains Peter Nissing, Head of Market Management Graphics at Lohmann GmbH & Co KG. increase. “Improving the reusability of adhesive tapes is an important argument in the debate on resource conservation and responsible use of raw materials. His improved GRIP adhesive package also features less sensitivity to temperature and humidity fluctuations. is.”
