Applications
- Exafit® 43200HP is particularly suitable for mounting soft to medium-hard photopolymer clichés on to medium to large size diameter cylinders.
- Exafit® 43200HP is primarily designed for pure half-tone printing, or a combination of both half-tone and block printing when used on the same plate.
- Mounting of flexographic photopolymer and rubber clichés on to cylinders or sleeves.
Product Benefits
- The pink colour of the foam aids the quick identification of foam hardness.
- The specific embossed plastic liner used on Exafit® 43200HP 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® 43200HP versatile enough to be used for mounting a variety of clichés on to steel cylinders or sleeves.
- 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.
- 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.
