Successful for half a century: Plate mounting tapes for the graphical industry
Lohmanns DuploFLEX plate mounting tapes are well known within the graphical industry worldwide. Under this brand name the manufacturer of adhesive tape systems united its whole product range for the graphical industry. When DuploFLEX is mentioned, the focus lies almost on new or optimized plate mounting tapes. Not so familiar is the fact, that some of these products are unvaried successful for a very long time. What was coming up as an idea for printers half a century ago is now technical standard in this special industry. Over 50 years ago it was troublesome to fix the printing plates on the printing cylinder. But with Lohmann´s first product for the graphical industry, Duplofol, these troubles came to an end. Because from there on printing plates could also be fixed by an adhesive tape. Ever since Lohmann went with its innovative products along with the developments in the graphical industry and offers a broad range of high tech plate mounting tapes today. And the well known Duplofol – now renamed - is still going strong. Under the name DuploFLEX FOL this plate mounting tape is offered with a brand new packaging today. The main applications of DuploFLEX FOL are the mounting of photopolymer and rubber printing plates. And because of its excellent and exact tolerances it is for more than 50 years especially attractive for the letterpress printing.
