Bunting Magnetics has developed a new coating for its flexible dies that provides a clear, non-stick finish that repels the most aggressive adhesives.
“The Repel coating keeps the die very flexible and prevents adhesive or label material from embedding in the cavities of a die,” states Mike Wilks, General Manager of the Flexible Die Division. “It won’t flake off like other coatings do, giving our customers less downtime and better die cuts.”
The new coating reduces the need to use foam in some applications and, for coldfoil, reduces the likelihood that thin foil material will stick in the base of a die. The silicone base of the coating is said to enhance foil release, from the tight fit typical of these applications.
