Folacoat® and Folacomp® – the Folex system solution for maximum efficiency, quality and sustainability in the coating plant

Our system solution, which is unique on the market and proven in practice, enables maximum efficiency and sustainability in your coating and printing processes. The perfectly harmonised combination of Folacoat® coating plates and Folacomp® compressible underpacking materials ensures excellent printing results and high cost-effectiveness.

Sustainability and resource conservation are an integral part of the system solution: While Folacoat® coating plates are characterised by extreme durability and good reusability, Folacomp® underpacking materials increase the service life of the coating plates and protects the machine and roller bearings.

The new Folacoat® Pure coating plate adds a particularly environmentally conscious option to our system solution and sets new standards in terms of sustainability. It is based on a polymer with 30% renewable raw material content and has a polyester carrier with 50% recycled content.

Coating Plates

Premium Line

The Premium Line range offers the highest performance and best re-usability The improvement of productivity and efficiency of the coating transfer in printing companies is the focus of these products.

The universal transfer polymers offer the perfect surface for an easy coating transfer. Even in LED-UV and H-UV applications best results can be achieved. The effect of ink back-trapping during the printing process can be significantly reduced. The loss of production time caused washing intervals of the coating form, is mainly prevented.


Eco Line

The products of the ECO-line are characterized by good performance and reusability in the coating process. A revised profile of requirements for coating plates (e.g. one-time use, smaller production runs) is well met with the products of the ECO-line. The request for immediate cost savings when buying coating plates has been the focus for these products.

The improvement of productivity and efficiency in the printing processes is achieved in a special way. The properties of the selected transfer polymers are tailored to these requirements and ensure a good coating result.


Select Line

The select line is reserved exclusively to our preferred dealers. The products of this line are characterized by an excellent performance. In addition to excellent coating properties, the productivity and quality of coating transfer are in focus for these products.


Gravure Printing

Folex Rotocalco Grinding Stones for cylinder preparation

To ensure the efficient preparation of gravure printing cylinders, it is indispensable to use suitable abrasive material. Folex Rotocalco grinding and polishing stones have been developed to achieve uniform roughness on different metal surfaces with a moderate expenditure of time and little stone abrasion.

Folex has been manufacturing grinding/polishing stones specially made for finishing copper, chromium and steel for more than 25 years.

PrePress

The range of Folex products for the prepress sector encompasses montage films for offset printing and masking films for classical screen printing.

Masking Films

TEXTILE - PRINT / TRANSFER PRINT

Folex Screen Transfer Films are matt, thermal stabilized films to transfer screen printed images onto textiles or other surfaces. The fine and homogeneous roughness leads to final transferred print surfaces with an attractive matt finish and a comfortable touch.
