Hexis S.A.demonstrated their new repositionable adhesive technology HX200 Hex'Press at the FESPA Digital show in Amsterdam.

At the recent FESPA Digital show in Amsterdam, Hexis S.A.for the first time demonstrated their new repositionable adhesive technology HX200 Hex'Press.

Hexis launched a series of vinyl media for solvent and eco-solvent inkjet with a newly developed liner and adhesive compound that makes the film repositionable during application and allowing convenient elimination of air bubbles.

Thus wet application is no longer required and the installer avoids the risks commonly associated with wrinkles and entrapped air.

The main characteristics of the new technology are a structured high performance adhesive, an embossed liner and a polymeric high performance vinyl.

As the film remains repositionable during application, the installer achieves substantial cost savings through fast and efficient completion of vehicle wraps and fleet markings.

The HX200 Series is available with either a grey (opaque) or a clear (transparent) adhesive on a special polyethylene paper liner and with a matching laminate the printed product offers an outdoor durability of up to 4 years.

The standard roll sizes are 45m, 100m or 200m long and 1370mm (54in) or 1600mm (63in) wide.

Technical data sheets are available on request from Hexis S.A.or local distributors.

Currently the technology is not for sale in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Hexis is a major European manufacturer of pressure sensitive adhesive media for digital printing and of a complete line of sign vinyls (cast, high performance, translucent, reflective).
