Pressroom Printing Aids - For
Rubber Blankets:
Vegra Folding Softening Concentrate 20 30 10 (remoistening, corrosion
inhibited, with antistatic effect):
During the heatset printing process, your substrate tends to loose
moisture and becomes more brittle (lose of strength) and vunerable to
cracking. This reduces the accuracy of your fold and causes fold
breakages. Fold Softening Concentrate 20 30 10 is used to improve your
folding accuracy and prevent fold breakage in your folding machine.
Corrosion inhibited, with anti-static effect Characteristics.
Advantages include:
o
Excellent remoistening due to quick penetration in printed and
siliconised paper, even with high speed presses.
o
Renders the paper more flexible and optimises the folding
accuracy.
o
Prevents fold breakage.
o
Uniform piling up of the folded sheets (reduced pile height).
o
Suitable for all conventional application devices (gluing and
softening systems).
o
Environmentally friendly and VOC*-free.
o
Protects the press against corrosion and calcination.
SMASH (blanket repair fluid):
Smash is applied to the rubber surface of offset printing blankets to effect
a temporary repair of low spots and indentations.
Smash contains a swelling agent which, when applied to the face of the
blanket in the damaged areas, will cause the surface to return to its
original level, enabling the printer to finish his shift or complete a job
without having to lift or change blankets.
Smash will not damage the printing surface but it will not repair cuts or
any damage where the surface rubber has been destroyed.
Blanket Scrubbers:
Removes glaze, piling, ink, gum and more. Improves your print quality –
provides good dot reproduction and reduces blanket hickies.
The Blanket Scrubber is the first practical improvement in cleaning,
loosening, and lifting ink, gun, casein, clay, enamel, varnish, paper lint,
and spray powder from the blanket as well as rollers and press
frames...effortlessly and thoroughly.
The Scrubber is a nylon pocket containing a cellulose sponge that holds
a reservoir of solvent. Some people prefer to substitute shop towels for
the cellulose sponge. The Scrubber easily outlasts the equivalent of 300
or more shop towels reducing laundering bills better than 50%.
Unlike the limp fibers of shop wipes that clog easily the open mesh and
scrubbing action of the Scrubber completely cleans and renovates the
blanket surface with every wash-up.
Advantages of using Blanket Scrubbers:
o
Replaces 200 to 300 or more shop towels.
o
Eliminates the need for harsh strong high VOC solvents.
o
Reduces blanket hickies.

o
Shop towel cost reduced 50% to 75%
o
Old blankets may be restored to like new condition.
Comments from Customers:
o
Web press serviceman:
"Blanket Scrubber works well on cleaning rollers. Does a better job
on blankets than rags, also cleans blankets faster. Under a glass,
dots were a little sharper. I like it for ease of washing blankets."

"Works great for cleaning the ink fountain."
o
Carton litho pressman:
"There ain't nothing like it for that paper piling on the blanket.”
