Plymouth, MA, September 13, 2007.   Flexo Concepts, manufacturers of MicroClean™ Dry Media Anilox Cleaning Systems and TruPoint™ plastic and composite doctor blades, announced today its plans to exhibit at LabelExpo Europe 2007 to be held September 26-29th at Brussels Expo in Belgium. 

The show is expected to be larger than 2005 in tandem with the label market’s international growth.  As an exhibitor, Flexo Concepts will join over 500 other companies in the field of label printing and product decoration.  This show is considered by many to be the world’s premier label industry exhibition and attendance is expected to exceed 23,000 from around the world.  Seminars and keynote presentations will shore up the event with advice from leading trade experts about sustainability and global opportunities. 

At this year’s show, Flexo Concepts will feature its MicroClean™ Model 72 for narrow web applications and MicroClean™ FineMedia.  The MicroClean™ System effectively cleans anilox cells so narrow-web printers can achieve consistent color densities, ensure print quality and minimize downtime for color matching. The MicroClean™ System has been shown to clean rolls and sleeves with high line screens repeatedly without damage.  The technology is currently being used by flexographic and offset printers to clean inks as well as water-based and UV coatings thoroughly, guaranteeing a consistent application every time.

MicroClean™ FineMedia is a specially formulated plastic media for fast cleaning of high line screen ceramic surfaces.  The dry media particles gently remove dried ink and coating at the bottom of cells, restoring them to original volume.  The media is recyclable and environmentally safe, earning MicroClean™ the reputation as the lowest cost per-roll and “greenest” anilox cleaning method available today.

Flexo Concepts will also feature its newest doctor blade, TruPoint™ UltraFlex, designed for use on high line screen anilox rolls used by the narrow-web and offset tower coating markets.  Now offered with a 10˚ bevel option to provide a finer contact area, UltraFlex is engineered from a thin weave fiberglass composite material to provide the same level of stiffness as a steel blade with up to four times the blade life.

In addition to its MicroClean™ and TruPoint™ product lines, Flexo Concepts will have on display its Recyl™ line of chemical cleaners and pressroom cleaning supplies.  Samples of all the products can be obtained at the company’s booth #7K15 during the show or requested on its website at www.flexoconcepts.com.
