EsaRed
The only Atex certified, explosion-proof elastomer in the world
- ATEX certified
- E.S.A. System
- hardness range 75-90
- max load 15 [Kg/cm]
- max temp 150°C
- Speedwell System
Elastomer designed for printing impression rollers with electrostatic assist (ESA) for printing on plastic film and paper. EsaRed eliminates the ionization effect typical of traditional black rubber compounds with carbon black. The only product certified in compliance with the ATEX Ex II 2G IIA T4 standard for use in Zone 1 issued as a non-flammable elastomer. The volumetric resistance, dynamic resistance and insulation values of EsaRed comply with the electrostatic assist system installed on the printing press and the type of application (Direct Charge, Top Loading and/or Side-Loading). For inks bases on acetates, alcohol, mek and 20% toluol.
The special Rossini conpounds are available both in Speedwell Sleeve configuration and Rubber roller.
Rubber-coated roller with steel core and/or Speedwell sleeve with conductive or insulated fibreglass conical base depending on the application. EsaRed coating ground to measurement.
