Flint Group Image Transfer Technologies has launched Enviroflex, a complete suite of biodegradable products for cleaning of flexo presses, anilox rollers and rotogravure cylinders, flexo plates and flexographic printing facilities.
The Enviroflex biodegradable product range has been developed to deliver not only a safe work environment whilst performing daily maintenance or weekly/monthly deep cleaning, but also ensures delivery of the highest possible print quality and optimum Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
“Our biodegradable cleaning range has minimal or no VOCs and balanced pH levels, providing a safe environment for employees along with looking after our planet,” says Stephan Doppelhammer, Vice President Commercial EMEA.
Enviroflex has been developed to virtually eliminate the need for soda blasting and delivers reliable cell depth on anilox rollers and rotogravure cylinders. This significantly reduces downtime and the need for ink adjustments, saving on ink consumption and costs.
