  • the method according to the invention can be used with printing plates of all types applied to forme cylinders, for example high-pressure and flexographic printing plates, it has proven to be particularly favorable and advantageous for gravure printing plates applied to forme cylinders.
  • the sealing or sealing compounds to be used according to the invention the printing plates can not only be held and fixed on the forme cylinders in any desired position, it also prevents the penetration of even thin-bodied printing ink into the openings, cavities or gaps mentioned the resulting disadvantages prevented.
  • the method according to the invention is suitable for closing and / or sealing any kind of openings, cavities or gaps in the case of printing plates mounted on forme cylinders, it is particularly suitable and can be used without problems and advantageously when closing and / or sealing small or narrow gaps, joints, other openings, spaces and the like.
  • the sealing or sealing compounds to be used according to the invention are viscous, rigid, pasty dispersions of solid, powdery, highly fluorinated, preferably perfluorinated, olefin polymers in inert, low-volatility, organic liquids at room temperature.
  • Highly fluorinated olefin polymers are both highly fluorinated homopolymers and highly fluorinated copolymers of olefins, in particular of ethylene and propylene, and also highly fluorinated olefin polymers which contain ether groups in the main polymer chain.
  • the dispersions to be used according to the invention contain solid, powdery homopolymers or copolymers of highly fluorinated, in particular perfluorinated, ethylene or highly fluorinated, in particular perfluorinated, propylene. These include in particular the polytetrafluorethylene, polyhexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymers.
  • the solid, powdery, highly fluorinated olefin polymers contained in the dispersions to be used according to the invention are finely divided and, in addition to fluorine, may also contain to a lesser extent other halogen atoms, in particular chlorine atoms.
  • the solid, powdery, highly fluorinated olefin polymers are preferably perhalogenated, in particular perfluorinated.
  • the viscous, pasty dispersions to be used as sealing or sealing compound according to the invention contain, as a further component, one or more inert, low-volatility organic liquids which act as dispersants for the solid, powdery, highly fluorinated Olefin polymers act.
  • inert, low-volatility, organic dispersing liquids are, for example, high-boiling fluorocarbon oils, fluorinated polyether oils, silicone oils or fats or fluorosilicone oils.
  • the inert, organic dispersing liquids are generally low-volatility oils, but they can also be greases.
  • the inert, low-volatility, organic dispersing liquids are: the corresponding, known fluorinated hydrocarbon oils; highly fluorinated, preferably perfluorinated, polyalkylene ether oils, preferably those polyether oils which are composed of recurring oxyperfluoroalkylene units of the formulas -CF2-O-, -C2F4-O- and / or -C3F6-O-, as described, for example, in DE-A-2 633 736 or are commercially available under the brand name FOMBLIN; Silicone oils or fats, for example of the type of polysiloxanes, such as polyphenylmethylsiloxane, or of the type of reticulated silicone polymers, for example methyl silicone polymers of oily or fatty consistency; as well
  • the dispersions to be used according to the invention can be prepared in a conventional manner known per se by intimate mixing, for example stirring or kneading, of the individual components.
  • the solid, powdery, highly fluorinated olefin polymers and the inert, low-volatility, organic dispersing liquids are selected according to type and amount and coordinated with one another such that a stable dispersion of the solid, powdery, highly fluorinated olefin polymers in the inert, low-volatility, organic dispersing liquid is produced and this dispersion has a stiff, paste-like consistency at room temperature and is viscoplastic so that it can be deformed under the influence of pressure and shear force, but is not self-flowing.
  • the dispersions to be used according to the invention are usually solvent-free and the weight ratio of powdery, highly fluorinated olefin polymer to the inert, low-volatility, organic dispersion liquid is in the range from about 3: 7 to 6: 4.
  • dispersions which are particularly suitable as sealants or sealing compounds in the process according to the invention are paste-like, rigid, viscous-plastic dispersions of powdered polytetrafluoro ethylene in perfluoropolyalkylene ether oils of the type mentioned above in a polymer: oil weight ratio of about 35:65 and paste-like, stiff, viscous dispersions of powdery polytetrafluoroethylene in silicone oil, for example polyphenylmethylsiloxane, in a polymer: oil weight ratio of about 1: 1.
