DuPont™ Cyrel® Flexographic Solutions has confirmed the expansion of its Cyrel® ReNew portfolio with two new flexographic plates, giving converters more options to help reduce the carbon footprint of plate production while maintaining the print quality, consistency and productivity expected from modern flexographic platemaking.
The new DuPont™ Cyrel® EASY ESXR and DuPont™ Cyrel® EASY FAST EFXR plates extend the Cyrel® ReNew portfolio across both solvent and thermal platemaking workflows.
The photopolymer used in Cyrel® ReNew plates contains more than 50% ISCC PLUS-certified bio-circular raw material. Through a mass balance approach, renewable feedstocks can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes while maintaining the material characteristics required for high-quality flexographic printing. The approach also provides traceability of renewable inputs through the supply chain.
DuPont™ Cyrel® EASY ESXR is a digital solvent-processing plate featuring built-in flat-top dot technology. It combines high ink transfer and resolution with robustness, clean running and a wide tonal range. Its high platemaking latitude and uniformity can help reduce press setup time, while its smooth surface is well suited to micro-screening and special print effects.
DuPont™ Cyrel® EASY FAST EFXR is designed specifically for the DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST thermal system. It combines the print performance characteristics expected from the Cyrel® EASY platform with the speed and efficiency of thermal platemaking. Plates can be processed in less than one hour with no drying step, supporting just-in-time platemaking and helping converters respond quickly to production demands.
The introduction of the two new Cyrel® ReNew plates further strengthens the company’s commitment to advancing sustainable solutions across the flexographic platemaking workflow, building on the established Cyrel® FAST thermal system and recent GreenCircle certification.
