“Since our company was founded more than 50 years ago,” said Dieter Niederstadt, Asahi’s Technical Marketing Manager, “we have been developing sustainable printing plate materials such as our liquid APRTM resins which are processed with water. Our goal, and that of our parent company Asahi Kasei, is to bring to market products that create for life and living and a more pleasant working environment.”
“With the majority of flexographic platemaking still using solvent-wash processes,” Dieter added, “we will also be helping visitors to our stand at drupa understand how easy the Road to Solvent ZERO is, making their operations more sustainable and offering a more pleasant ambient environment for workers. The first step is to switch to reduced solvent plates, such as Asahi’s AFPTM-R CleanPrint plate, which reduces solvent usage by 30% with no need to make any additional equipment investments – simply switch plates and you are on the Road to Solvent ZERO.
At drupa 2024, Asahi will be sharing how this is accomplished with three themes:
Dieter Niederstadt concluded, “We look forward to seeing you at drupa 2024 and working together to journey down the Road to Solvent ZERO!”
