DuploFLEX® HP 5 - Lohmann's new state-of-the-art plate mounting tape solution for the most sophisticated tasks in flexible package printing.

As our industry pushes for new quality standards in tonal range, color consistency, and high solid ink density or today's economics require the need to run at higher press speeds but maintain tighter quality standards, new foam stickyback standards are also required to meet these demands.

Lohmann, a worldwide leader in innovative stickyback products, recently introduced DuploFLEX® HP 5 designed to meet today's requirements for the most complicated print jobs utilizing state-of-the-art technology in foam stickyback manufacturing components.

Double-sided flexible reinforcement

In contrast to conventional foam mounting tapes with a laminated PET film, DuploFLEX® HP 5 range is equipped with a double-sided flexible PE reinforcement. The advantage: the forces acting upon the compressible foam are perfectly cushioned. The result: no uncontrolled dot gain and a superior predictable print image, even at high press speeds.

High quality closed cell polymer foam for incomparably high stability and excellent consistency.

It is the high quality polymer foam with its uniform cell structures and comparably small cell size that makes DuploFLEX® HP 5 stand out. The reason: to go beyond the limits of conventional foams. Lohmann's high quality polymer foam distinguishes itself by incomparably high stability and superior resilience. Its consistent foam behavior counteracts machine vibrations and thus makes it perfectly suited for long and demanding print jobs.

DuploFLEX HP ultra is currently available in four types. It is reported that proven results have shown that these four products can cover almost all printing needs, and can often eliminate the need to carry many different type of foam products.
