 Tint
sleeves (also known as flood coaters) are precision ground polymeric
tubing which is applied over tint cylinders. This assembly is
used to replace the plate and plate cylinder in flexographic
presses when a continuous solid coating is required. The sleeves
are slid over the tint cylinder using air assist or lubricants
to facilitate assembly. Locking collars are placed on both sides
of the sleeves to prevent slippage.
Tint sleeves are usually used to
lay down continuous uniform solid color or overcoat. They are
also sometimes used for applying primers and adhesives. With
the addition of custom grooving, they can be used to apply a
continuous stripe.
 Sleeves
are stocked in an EPDM compound and our special MagnaFlex®.
MagnaFlex® was specifically designed for use in coating water,
UV, ketone and ester based inks, coatings and adhesives. Standard
length for tint sleeves is 18" long and come in a variety of
sizes. Special hardness, diameters and length can be manufactured
at customer request.
