SureShim

Stainless steel, self-adhesive shim tapes

SureShim is a range of hardened stainless steel, self-adhesive shim tapes, available in a precise range of sizes that allows the user to select and increment the thickness of the shims from a minimum thickness of 0.03mm up to 0.10mm.

It is available in three sizes:

  • 0.03mm height, 10m length
  • 0.05mm height, 10m length
  • 0.10mm height, 10m length

SureShim is 8.0mm wide and, for maximum ease of use, it has a 12mm finger-lift backing on the adhesive film. The transfer adhesive system is specially formulated allowing for both short and long term bonding, yet can be easily removed or replaced. Made from 40 Rockwell hardened stainless steel, its resistance to crushing or deformation is very high plus it is very stable as it is non-oxidising, making it suitable for formes that are being used from long term storage.

Platen-cleaning solvent

SureClean PLUS is a new, fast-evaporating platen cleaning solvent for all types of production machinery. It has a high flash point and is safe on all metals, paints and plastics.
It is a safe replacement for 1.1.1. Trichloroethane.

SureClean PLUS leaves no residue and is completely non-conductive.

It is totally simple to use. Just spray the area or parts to clean, leave to dry and wipe away (in a well-ventilated area).

SureSlip

Anti-friction spray

SureSlip is a high-performance silicone lubricant contained in an aerosol spray that offers a considerable reduction in friction, when applied to a multitude of surfaces.

Used with SureClean Plus it ensures long term platen/forme care, stopping rust and tarnish build-up on rules.

A sparse application to the cutting forme before fitting creasing matrix allows an easier fit of locator to creasing rule.
