Flint adds PremoFilm SXS/2

Designed for surface and reverse printing on polyolefin films, PremoFilm SXS/2 is a self-cross-linking technology combining improved end-use properties with good resolubility on press. This allows the widest range of end-use applications possible, including collation shrink, deep freeze and hygienic packaging, according to the supplier, as well as outdoor applications in combination with polyethylene heavy-duty sack qualities.

This VOC-free technology has been developed and optimized for high-quality flexo printing, and supports improved overall equipment efficiency due to stable runability at press speeds of up to 400m/min for colors. When using PremoFilm SXS/2, converters will benefit from a very high color strength and superior mileage, it is claimed. This also facilitates the use of finest anilox rollers to meet the requirements of future-oriented half tone printing in flexo.

Thomas Strohe, commercial product director for flexible packaging in the EMEA region at Flint Group, said: ‘PremoFilm SXS/2 is a prime example of the continuous improvement of our wide product range. Thanks to the close cooperation with our customers and raw material suppliers, important aspects of the product could be optimised. A particular challenge was to enhance the fastness properties of this water-based technology while keeping an excellent printability. PremoFilm SXS/2 meets both demands perfectly.’
