Learn MoreTech Sleeves Features
Superior Stiffness
Vinyl Ester Resin outer layer guarantees 82 Shore D outer layer hardness, which is significantly higher than market standards. This material provides exceptional resistance to pressure, moisture, UV light, and chemicals, ensuring our sleeves remain robust and durable under demanding conditions. This results in less deflection, leading to better printing quality and faster speeds.
Bounce & Vibration Mitigation
Our sleeves feature a specialized foam layer that dampens vibrations and a reinforced glass fiber layer that acts as a harmonic string to disperse them. This combination ensures stable and consistent printing quality, enhanced precision, and reduced maintenance needs.
Advanced Lightweight Technology
Our sleeves utilize advanced lightweight foam technology, reducing their weight by up to 10–15% compared to the market average. This makes handling easier, decreases the risk of injury, and improves efficiency. The lightweight design also enhances vibration dampening, minimizing press bounce and ensuring superior print quality at high speeds.
Enhanced Durability
To further enhance durability, we offer optional rubber ends and metal-reinforced notches. These features provide additional protection against edge damage, chemical and ink leakage, and general wear and tear, reducing the turnover rate of sleeves and saving costs.
Tech Sleeves Range
Unlock peak performance on your press with the right formation. Our Tech Sleeves Portfolio provides a comprehensive range, ensuring you have the ideal combination of stiffness, durability, and handling for any job.
