  • Printing blanket including meltable polymeric fabric reinforcing layer or polymeric reinforcing layer
    Patent number: 9859374
    Abstract: A printing blanket is provided which includes a reinforcing layer formed from a polymeric fabric reinforcing material which softens and flows at a temperature less than that used in the final curing step of forming the blanket or a polymeric reinforcing material having a thickness of between about 0.003 inches and 0.010 inches. The reinforcing layer provides a smooth surface to support an outer print surface layer and provides improved print performance while enabling a reduction in the overall thickness of the reinforcing layer.
    Type: Grant

  • THIN-WALLED COMPOSITE SLEEVE
    Publication number: 20080292822
    Abstract: An expandable, hollow, cylindrical thin-walled composite sleeve for use in flexographic printing applications is provided including an optional polymeric resin base layer, at least one filament wound layer over the base layer, and at least one outer non-woven fibrous layer over the filament wound layer. The filament wound layer may comprise filament wound fibers such as fiberglass which are wound around the base layer or sleeve. The non-woven fibrous layer may be in the form of a fiberglass chopped strand mat. The layers provide desirable surface and reinforcement properties to the sleeve.
