In short:
It is a self-adhesive & compressible sleeve
What is Twinlock?
![Page 3: Polymount - The Self-adhesive Twinlock Sleeves](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/588163b51a28ab80508b651f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hard coated sleeve + Polyurethane foam + stabilisation film+ adhesive polymer
How is it built up?

The ability to mount Flexo- printing plates without the use of tape.
The polymer adhesion and compressibility is permanent and will not lose its properties.
Permanent* adhesion, without end – – Guaranteed!
* Lifetime guaranty
What makes it so special?
![Page 5: Polymount - The Self-adhesive Twinlock Sleeves](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/588163b51a28ab80508b651f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
By simply cleaning the surface of the sleeve, the adhesion is re-activated…
Applying primer to the edge of the plate increases the level of adhesion…
Plate mounting is the same as on tape…
…however, plate removal is much easier as Twinlock adhesion does not increase under pressure.
Time saved is 30 to 40%
How does it work?

We offer 4 different identities in 3 different hardnesses:
1) Soft2) Medium 3) Hard
>85% we produce is Medium<15% is Hard/ Soft

For all available tape densities we offer a matching Twinlock compressibility.
The print quality on Twinlock is as good as on tape, but Twinlock;
• Is more consistent than tape
• Absorbs bounce better than tape
• Enables you to reach higher press speeds compared to tape

• Closed cell foam tape is only temporarily compressible.
• The air pockets collapse under print pressure.• The result is inconsistent print quality and
regular on press adjustments.
• Twinlock is built on Polyurethane foam.• Open cell foam does not collapse under
print pressure and can absorb bounce more effectively.
• This provides a more reliable and consistent print quality and therefore less on press adjustments.
Not all foams are the same

The outside diameter (OD) of Twinlock is more accurate than any sleeve mounted with tape. Tolerance of a Twinlock sleeve is ±2/100mm (±20μ).
The final polymer layer is custom made to precisely match the calculated outer diameter reference.
Every sleeve is measured by laser during, and at the end of the production process to ensure total accuracy.
This also guarantees exact measurements on any re-orders, accompanying sets or re-coats.
Unmatched OD tolerances

From niche to never without…
Twinlock is more and more recognised as a solution to today’s Flexo-Print challenges.
Order runs are getting shorter placing pressure on the mounting department and internal costs. At the same time there is an increase in quality demands, and sales prices are being squeezed.
In prepress Twinlock offers the best ROI with the least amount of investment necessary!
In keeping with our slogan, “Creators of Reusable Solutions“, Twinlock is a sustainable and environmentally responsible product to buy.
