Description
Offset Plate Protective Gum Formula plays a vital role in the offset printing industry. Printers use it to preserve PS and CTP plates after imaging and development. These plates are sensitive to oxidation, humidity, and handling. The gum creates a thin, stable film that shields the surface from corrosion and scumming. As a result, the plates stay clean and print-ready even after long storage periods.
Industry Need
Modern printing requires fast restarts and consistent print quality. Without proper protection, plates oxidize or attract dust, which causes print defects and waste. High-quality protective gums solve this problem. They keep plates hydrophilic, prevent background toning, and reduce downtime between print runs.
Additionally, the shift from traditional PS plates to digital CTP systems has increased the need for precise surface preservation. Printers now look for gums that deliver uniform coating, easy reactivation, and longer storage life. These features reduce cost and improve efficiency on every press.
Environmental Awareness
Today, the printing industry focuses strongly on sustainability. Many countries have restricted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and alcohol-based chemicals. Therefore, the demand for eco-friendly, alcohol-free, and biodegradable gums continues to grow. Manufacturers and printers prefer products that meet safety regulations while maintaining top performance.
CFS developed an advanced polymer-based formula that fits these new environmental and operational standards. It provides strong film formation, excellent corrosion resistance, and stable viscosity—without harmful solvents.
Market Demand
The main users include commercial printers, packaging converters, and CTP suppliers. They need reliable products that ensure quick press startup and minimal waste. Moreover, developing regions adopting CTP technology are expanding the market for long-lasting and easy-to-use gum systems.
