Lohmann’s “Smart Bonding for Flexo“ at the Drupa

At the Drupa, which takes place between the 31st May and 10th June 2016 in Dusseldorf, Lohmann will present its broad range of products and a number of new innovations in the market segment Graphics under the motto "Smart Bonding for Flexo". In Hall 15, booth B22, the "Bonding Engineers" will show innovative adhesive solutions specifically for the flexographic printing industry. Quite in line with Lohmann's general concept, the "Smart Bonding Approach", "Smart Bonding for Flexo" means that we closely accompany the customer with advice and support, beginning from the initial idea up to the integration of the applicable adhesive solution in his application process. The "Bonding Engineers" at Lohmann thus provide the ideal technical approach, the right tools, the right product and an individually tailored service. It is not only for this reason that Lohmann has been renowned for decades as a reliable partner for the printing industry. The successful product range DuploFLEX plays a particularly important role, because it sets new standards in the mounting of flexographic printing plates.

Today, the possibilities in flexographic printing are greater than ever. Equally high are the expectations on the part of customers for perfect printing results, and therefore the choice of the right plate mounting tape is a key factor for the flexographic printer. Acting as a substructure and a damping factor, the foam tape must also facilitate an optimal printed image. The product range DuploFLEX 5 consists of several compressible tapes that differ in their foam hardness and adhesive performance. The product line DuploFLEX HP 5 is available for difficult and demanding print jobs. The HP (high performance) foam used in this case plays a decisive role: It possesses a very high degree of stability and recovery characteristics that meet the required demands. It thus counteracts machine vibrations, prevents vibration marks in the printed image and is especially suitable for long and fast print jobs.

Lohmann’s "Bonding Engineers" are also ideally positioned in the field of direct corrugated board printing. As a compressible base, the product range DuploFLEX CB (Corrugated Board) ensures the best printing results in high-quality post-print. In direct corrugated board printing, the line of products convinces with its strengths such as: enhanced print quality and improved cost-effectiveness.
