Doctor Blades for Specialty Coatings

TruPoint™ doctor blades by Flexo Concepts™ have received an endorsement from adhesive technologies supplier, Henkel, for use with its specialty coatings. Finishes such as glitter, metallics, and pearlescents contain larger particulates, and a customized blade solution is often necessary to meter these chemistries and control the volume of coating applied to the blanket. TruPoint™ blades can be engineered to a full range of size and profile combinations to meet the precise needs of the printer. In addition to standard coatings, the TruPoint™ blade's thickness and tip can be modified to improve its metering performance with the higher viscosity and large particulate formulas.—www.flexoconcepts.com
