Reliable Press Chemistry

QL Blue

Blankets

A new buffed blue, compressible blanket designed for the quality sheet fed offset printer with high speed presses, is now available from Hudson’s.

The Micro-Cel blanket consists of a blended polymer surface applied to a micro cellular compressible base. This results in a blanket offering quick release, good ink affinity and resilience.

The precision buffed surface provides a micro-textured printing substrate that enhances sheet and ink release. The buffing also permits much greater gauge control, with thickness tolerances of +0.01 mm.

The unique fabric construction of the QL Blue Blanket makes it less susceptible to smashing and shrinking due to over tightening or excessive tension.

Compressibility & Recovery

ABW-2010*

A General Purpose Blanket & Press Wash

ABW-2010* is a highly effective and efficient blanket wash that is fully water miscible, forming highly stable emulsions with up to 50% of water. As a water mix it will not only remove ink but will also remove gums and paper pile caused by a build up of paper coating and paper fibre on the blanket.

•Less greasy than some other water miscible washes.

•Non red label flammability (flash point 64oC).

•Non regulated under UN regulations, emergency procedures (EPG) & packaging groups.

FBW-2010*

Fast Blanket and Roller Wash

FBW-2010* is a fast, efficient and highly effective blanket and roller wash designed for use on all types of machines and on all blankets and rollers.

It will not cause swelling or delamination of blankets and will not damage the rubber or blankets.

When used regularly, FBW-2010* will impede glazing of blankets and rollers, maintaining them in a clean, matt condition aiding their ink transfer properties.

DRL-2010*

Dry Run Lubricant

DRL-2010* forms a thin lubricating film over all inking surfaces throughout the roller train and guards the roller ends during running.

It protects rollers from friction damage and heat build-up on units running without ink. Treated rollers remain ink receptive.

The non-drying film protects stored rollers from dirt, moisture and oxidation for very long periods.

DRL-2010* will not affect the ink drying, gloss or colour when used as directed and cleans up quickly with normal press wash.

Curves illustrate exceptional resiliency and stability

QL Blue Blankets are recommended for:

*High Speed Sheet Fed Presses

*Coated & Uncoated Stocks

*Cartons & Boards
