Folex Coating Plates
Cotech UK is a leading supplier of Folex products in the UK which are widely regarded as the best in the business. They offer significant advantages over conventional stripping blankets both technically and financially. Busy packaging houses can make major annual savings by converting to the Folex system, see our range of product details below;
Folacoat® Plus
Premium Strippable coating plate with polyester base containing the following layers:
Surface: Pink polymer for aqueous and UV-coating transfer (slipping- / protection film on top)
Carrier: Polyester / Polyester-laminate. The double-layer material of polyester provides stability during the cutting and printing process. The anti-friction surface of the slipping film facilitates the movement of the knife of a CAD Cutting System on the polymer surface. Additionally cuts are clearly visible and it is easier to locate the stripping areas.
Folacoat® Basic
Folacoat Basic is an economical, transparent, strippable coating plate with polyester base which contains two layers.
Surface: Red-transparent polymer for aqueous and UV-varnish transfer.
Carrier: Single polyester layer.
Folacomp®
The Folacomp range was specifically developed for use underneath Folacoat coating plates and offers a wide range of thicknesses of underpacking containing a high percentage of compressible components. The content of smash-sensitive fabrics is considerably reduced in comparison with conventional compressible rubber underpacking blankets. The large number of thicknesses available makes it possible to use just one layer of underpacking in combination with the respective Folacoat coating plate. Packings made up of several sheets of paper belong to the past
Folabase® Soft U
UNDERPACKING FOIL, NON ADHESIVE
Folabase Soft U offers reliable support for adaptation to cylinder circumferences and print lengths in offset printing presses and ensures optimum dot transfer.
The two-layer compound made of dimensionally stable polyester and extremely ductile polyurethane ensures an extremely high dimensional stability and consistent thickness.
Unlike paper-based underpacking sheets the Folabase Soft U has a certain smash resistance and can be used again. Additionally it is highly swell resistant to dampening solutions and cleaning agents.
Folabase® H48
UNDERPACKING FOIL, SELF-ADHESIVE
Folabase H48 is a new Folex product in the segment of self-adhesive underpacking foils. Corrosion-inhibiting additives in our Folabase H48 underpacking foil protect the cylinder surface. The foil can be easily applied to almost all cylinders and can be removed quickly and cleanly with very little cleaning effort. The foil’s release film consists of siliconised propylene, this prevents wrinkling and avoids dust inclusion. Given its high resistance to chemical cleaners and solvents, Folabase H48 is characterised by a long service life. The foil demonstrates very good thermal stability on the press.
