LIPI Polymers makes PE membrane seaming easy

Solvent and eco-solvent printing on flex has come of age and competition in this segment is driving down the rates to unimaginable level. Now, printable PE membranes using on UV printers, pioneered by HP in India are cost effective and eco-friendly solution. The 100 percent recyclable PE materials have few challenges when it comes to seaming. LIPI Polymers Pvt Ltd, Chennai—an authorised sales and service distributor of Leister Process Technologies, Switzerland—has a solution to make PE membrane seaming easy.

Lipi Polymers makes seaming easier because Leister-Uniplan E and Uniplan S machine are fitted with 30 mm nozzle and pressure. The machines provide a larger overlap of 50 mm for seaming and leave the seaming area unprinted. It helps stretch the membrane tightly during the welding operation. Seaming of PE membranes printed on HP UV printers was recently demonstrated in Delhi in presence of a number of leading printers from all over India. It is now clear that PE membrane can be seamed without losing the necessary strength and visual appearance. Chennai-headquartered LIPI Polymers now opens branches in Ahmedabad, Pune, Bangalore and New Delhi to benefit its customers nationwide.
