Product overview
DuploFLEX® plate mounting tapes are designed for precision flexo printing applications. Variants offer different foam qualities, engineered acrylic or solvent-free adhesives and PE reinforcement to deliver consistent print images and reliable handling at high press speeds.

DuploFLEX® 3 | 4 EB
0.38 mm category mounting tape with double-sided flexible PE reinforcement and a viscoelastic composite structure for controlled compression and optimal plate contact in label and flexible packaging printing.

• Optimized for fine process work, halftones, solids and clean fonts
• Compatible with UV, solvent and water-based inks
• Offered in multiple foam hardnesses and two tape thickness options
• Color-coded for quick foam hardness identification
• Minimized plate lifting and controlled dot gain
• Residue-free demounting and embossed liner for easy handling

DuploFLEX® 5
0.50 mm category tape with double-sided flexible PE reinforcement and viscoelastic composite layers. Available in established allrounder and solvent-free versions to balance performance and sustainability for label, flexible packaging and corrugated board pre-print.

• Delivers excellent image quality for halftones, solids and fine details
• Broad selection of foam types and adhesive formulations
• Compatible with UV, solvent and water-based inks
• Multiple foam hardnesses and color coding
• Minimized plate lifting and residue-free demounting
• Ranges with reduced solvent in the adhesive coating process (GRIP)

DuploFLEX® CB
Closed-cell polymer foam solutions with solvent-free pure acrylic adhesive options for corrugated board post-print or lamination workflows. Available with PET film carrier or self-adhesive options for easy handling and integration.

• Designed for post-print lamination handling or use with prelaminated compressible bases
• New solvent-free pure acrylic adhesive for secure grip to sleeve side
• PET film carrier extended on one side for fast edging and handling
• Suitable for flat-top-dot and surface screening technologies
• Multiple foam thicknesses and carrier options

FS 57 Splicing Tape
Double-sided splicing tape with a self-splittable carrier for flying splices of flexible materials in flexo, rotogravure and laminating processes.

• High tack and adhesion to low-energy substrates
• Reliable splitting for smooth roll changes
• Hand-tearable and easy-release split liner
• Simple application without complex tape patterns

Additional features
DuploFLEX® portfolio combines engineered acrylic adhesives, double-sided PE reinforcement, viscoelastic composite structures and embossed liners. Products are offered in various foam qualities, hardnesses, thicknesses and with specific carriers. Sustainability options include solvent-free adhesives and ranges with up to ~50% reduced solvent in coating processes.
