Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sleeve for flexographic printing and method for its production.
  • Flexographic printing is a printing process that is used extensively for printing on packaging materials made of plastics, paper, cardboard or cardboard.
  • printing plates are used which are clamped onto a printing cylinder or mounting sleeve.
  • This technology has the disadvantage that a seam remains after assembly, which interferes with the printing process.
  • Typical materials for the printing layer of the sleeves in flexographic printing consist of rubber or photopolymers.
  • An alternative to this is direct laser engraving.
  • the unnecessary areas of the printing form are removed by using a laser, the remaining and the removed areas then give the printing form.
  • This is possible with both rubber-coated sleeves and sleeves, in which a layer of a photopolymer is applied to a sleeve and polymerized.
  • the direct laser engraving is particularly advantageous because nowadays the required information is generally already available digitally and can be saved by the direct engraving step over the analog exposure system.
  • the circumference of the printing form is specified in narrow ranges.
  • a large amount of photopolymer would have to be applied, which is very expensive on the one hand, and, on the other hand, hardening of the photopolymer becomes more difficult as the thickness increases.
  • the printing plate can be mechanically unstable due to the low hardness, which adversely affects the printing result.
  • the circumference of the roller or the sleeve determines the printable with the roller printing length, so the repeat, i. the length after which the print pattern repeats.
  • the sleeve according to the invention has on the sleeve on a designssverierernde intermediate layer. This has a thickness of 2 to 20 mm, preferably 2 to 15 mm.
  • the thickness of the intermediate layer is> 5 mm or> 8 mm or> 10 mm.
  • This intermediate layer increases the distance of the outer printing layer from the central axis, so that the printing length increases and larger motifs can be printed. This increases the repeat.
  • the outer layer is a radiation-cured polymer, in particular a photopolymer, as has hitherto been used in the prior art for corresponding sleeves.
  • the sleeve of the sleeve is typically made of a glass fiber reinforced plastic. However, it is also possible, for example, to use carbon fiber-reinforced plastics or other sleeve materials used in flexographic printing.
  • Natural rubber or synthetic rubber, but also polyurethane, is suitable in particular as a pressure-length-increasing intermediate layer. It is important that the intermediate layer has a certain mechanical and geometric stability in order to be used as part of the printing plate in flexographic printing can. A hardness of the material ⁇ 80 Shore A has proven to be particularly suitable.
  • a further compressible layer may be present, for example, a porous polyurethane.
  • Radiation-curable polymers which can be engraved by means of a laser are known to the person skilled in the art, for example from US Pat EP 1 710 093 A1 or the EP 1 424 210 A1 , in which further suitable materials are described.
  • the invention further relates to the use of the sleeve according to the invention, which has a motif produced by laser engraving.
  • the radiation-curable polymer is polymers which are liquid at room temperature. These allow a particularly advantageous application on the intermediate layer.
  • the print length-increasing intermediate layer can be produced in various ways. For example, if it is a natural or synthetic rubber, the partially finished sleeve must first be vulcanized. As a rule, this will be followed by a surface treatment of the intermediate layer before the radiation-curable polymer is applied.
  • polyurethane is used as the pressure-length-increasing intermediate layer, this can basically also be applied directly to the sleeve. It is also possible to surround the sleeve with an outer sleeve and to introduce the polyurethane layer between the two sleeves and then to remove the outer sleeve. It may also leave the outer sleeve and be coated with the photopolymer.
  • the applied radiation-curable polymer is then subsequently cured.
  • this is done by exposure, for example, with UV light.
  • the layer of the cured polymer in a relatively simple manner again can be removed, for example by scratching and tearing.
  • the print length-increasing intermediate layer is exposed again and can - if necessary after a surface treatment - be coated again with a radiation-curable polymer.
  • the inner sleeve can be repeatedly reused with the pressure-length-increasing intermediate layer.
  • the invention also provides for the use of a print length-increasing intermediate layer having a thickness of 2 to 20 nm with a hardness of ⁇ 80 shore A for a sleeve with a sleeve and a laser-engravable layer of a radiation-cured polymer for increasing the repeat of the sleeve.
  • the invention also provides the use of the sleeve according to the invention in a method for laser direct engraving or the use of a sleeve with an applied motif in flexographic printing.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically the structure according to the invention.
  • a sleeve 1 made of a glass fiber reinforced plastic is a christzannver remplimde Intermediate layer 2, on which a layer of a cured photopolymer 3 is located.
  • the cured photopolymer can then be laser engraved with a motif for flexographic printing.
  • FIG. 2 shows a corresponding structure with a stronger intermediate layer.
  • an intermediate layer of an 80 Shore A hard intermediate rubber is additionally installed between the sleeve and the functional layer, so that a total layer thickness of 7.90 mm and thus an outer diameter of 152.79 mm are formed , With this additional hard liner, a larger print size is achieved cost and at the same time the mechanical stability of the printing plate is maintained.
