San Leandro, CA – June 9, 2010 – Introducing new products to the market requires a sizeable amount of time and money to research, develop and promote.  That is standard operating procedure for INX Digital International Co., but the company is taking it to another level for FESPA by expanding capabilities for the OEM, Industrial and Aftermarket channels.  The June 22-26 event in Munich, Germany, will mark the European debut of the company’s new Silver ink, as well as the launch of a new textile ink, the Eco Bulk ink delivery system and EVOLVE® Advanced Digital Solutions.  INX Digital will have these products and others on display in Hall B1, Stand 360.

PRESS RELEASE 20 May 2010: NATURally - HEXIS goes green

HEXIS has created NATURally, a range of products that aim to be more environment friendly. These films are PVC-free and do not use any chlorine, solvents, plasticisers or heavy metals. The new range will be presented to the public at the FESPA show in Munich 22 to 26 June.

The films in the NATURally range carry a M1F1 fire rating according to the NF F 16-101 standard and are particularly suitable for use in public places where regulations with regard to fire hazards are much more stringent. Products with a M1F1 fire rating are fire-retardant and do not release any toxic smoke.

Because of the absence of solvents HEXIS does not need to use the oxidiser during the manufacturing process. This has the benefits of reduced energy consumption for the drying of the films, reduced risk of fire on the production line, no risk of atmospheric pollution through the release of VOC and maximised safety for manufacturing staff.

The films in the NATURally range are free of PVC and free of plasticisers and for this reason there is no risk of contamination with the environment. Also they do not contain any heavy metals such as chromium or lead.

LATEX products

The latex films fit into the NATURally range of products by their very nature. Indeed, latex films are made from an aqueous emulsion of a plastic material. The production process is very specific and reduces the impact on the environment to the largest extent possible. HEXIS consumes less energy in the production of the raw materials required for their production. In addition HEXIS uses less organic materials derived from mineral oil.

Latex gloss

At the FESPA show HEXIS will launch two new products:

HXL300WG2 (WG = white gloss)

Le HXL300WG2 is a self-adhesive media for solvent inkjet printers. It is made of a white latex film with a thickness of 100µm coated with a grey pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive. The adhesive has a micro-structure to ensure easy transfer and convenient egress of any trapped air bubbles. The film can be printed with Mutoh Bio Inks and with HP Latex Inks. The surface finish is gloss.

PL300CG (CG = clear gloss)

The PL300CG is a cold laminate for the latex film HXL300WG2. Il is made of a clear latex film with a thickness of 30µm coated with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive. The surface finish is gloss.
