Flint Group Launches Metalback Blankets

Innovative DuraBond technology is the building block of the new coldset and heatset metalback blankets recently launched by Plymouth, Michigan-based Flint Group.

The proprietary new technology is the latest and best technology in blanket carcass bonding. It is engineered to resist delamination, face chipping and adverse effects of pressroom chemicals, resulting in greater durability and longer blanket life. In the pressroom, this means better performance, greater ease of use and more impressions than typical metalback blankets.

In addition to DuraBond technology, Flint Group’s new metalback blankets offer:

• Precise web feed and power transfer properties for optimum print and web control performance without compromising cylinder drive balance

• Industry’s leading compressible layer, providing consistent performance and durability

• New and improved rubber surface layer, providing superior print quality and excellent resistance to pressroom chemistry
