• Special Soft high performance PE foam allows even longer, faster print runs with consistently high print definition and reduced dot gain at elevated machine speeds.
• The compressible structure enhances print quality by absorbing any tolerances caused by the irregularities between the impression cylinder, the printing plates and the print cylinder or sleeve, and reduces machine vibration.
• The specific embossed plastic liner used on Exafit® 43120HP reduces the risk of air entrapment, and allows bubble – free mounting of the clichés, especially when this operation is done manually.
• Differential adhesion, with standard adhesion and tack on the plate side and a controlled adhesion on the cylinder side, makes Exafit® 43120HP versatile enough to be used for mounting a variety of clichés on to steel cylinders or sleeves.
• The white colour of the foam helps in a quick identification of the foam hardness.
