DuploFLEX® Plate Mounting Tape Range

Leveraging decades of experience in the flexo printing industry, Lohmann develops high-performance adhesive solutions tailored for flexible packaging, label, and corrugated board printing. The DuploFLEX range guarantees 100% performance across all applications.

 

DuploFLEX® 3 | 4

Engineered Bond with double-sided flexible PE Reinforcement and a viscoelastic composite structure for superior handling during mounting and demounting.

It produces perfect print images, even at a low impression setting, for label and flexible packaging printing.

Your benefits


Efficiency

  • Highest print quality even at older presses as less sensitive to machine parameters and bouncing
  • Shortest make ready down due to bubble free mounting
  • Color-coded products to ensure immediate identification of the foam hardness
  • Available in two tape thicknesses and various foam hardness levels to suit your desired print image
  • Can be used for every kind of ink (UV-, solvent- and water-based)


Quality

  • Excellent results for fine process work, brilliant halftones, perfect solids and clean fonts in the 0,38 mm thickness category
  • Available in various foam hardnesses and two tape thicknesses according to your desired print image
  • Minimized plate lifting and no uncontrolled dot gain as well as residue-free demounting
  • Best in class plate mounting and demounting with engineered acrylic adhesives


Sustainability

  • Reduced unsellable waste in make ready as less sensitive to machine parameters, press speed and bouncing
  • More sellable printed material while the press is running and consuming energy
  • Reduced waste stream due to prolonged plate life as the tape compensates for plate friction

 



DuploFLEX® 5

Perfect print image through double-sided flexible PE reinforcement and a viscoelastic composite structure achieving 100% performance in label and flexible packaging as well as corrugated board pre-printing requirements.

DuploFLEX® CB

Lohmann CB cushion materials are designed for corrugated post-print applications with flexo plates. The DuploFLEX CB range offers excellent performance through a high-quality closed-cell polymer foam for brilliant print images. Lohmann offers solutions for in-house lamination processes, as well as a prelaminated, compressible PET film carrier that is ready to use for post-printing corrugated board requirements.

Your benefits


Efficiency

  • Highest press speed due to Premium polymer foam which ensures rapid recovery behavior, highly stable compressibility, and optimal resilience
  • Highest print quality even at older presses as less sensitive to machine parameters and bouncing
  • Cost of flexo plates can be reduced by using DuploFLEX CB cushioning foam to compensate for thinner plates while still matching the machine undercut
  • Easy and fast repositioning of the plate on the cylinder
  • Available in various foam thicknesses and equipped with either a PET film carrier or self-adhesive on one side
  • PET film carrier extended on one side for easy handling of our bases, by means of quick fixing of the edging strip


Quality

  • Excellent results for fine process work, brilliant halftones, perfect solids and clean fonts
  • Washboard effects as well as dot gain are significantly reduced or even avoided
  • Consistent quality - unlike open-cell foam, our closed-cell foam is water- and color-resistant
  • Brilliant print image also with flat-top-dot and surface screening technologies
