Abstract

Abstract Flexographic sleeves are made using various materials, including a sub-group with extremely durable polyurethane foam shock-absorbing layer. During exploitation, the sleeves are exposed to cyclic dynamic loading, and the flexographic printing process is highly sensitive to the changes in pressure. Deformation of printing elements occurs due to the almost two times higher residual strain of the exploited sleeves. Changes in the residual strain induce occurrence of the hysteresis losses, which lead to heat generation. The forces impacting the material are not strong enough to induce permanent deformation in the microstructure. Therefore, the leading cause of the change lies in the molecular structure of the parent polymer of the polyurethane foam cell walls, whose resilience is declining. The thickness of the exploited sleeves tends to be around 8 % lesser. In addition to high-frequency cyclic loads during printing, the adhesive layer of self-adhesive sleeves undergoes reduction in the share of acrylates, phthalates and rosin, thereby reducing the adhesive strength and the force needed to initiate the de-adhesion by half. The knowledge of mechanisms of change in certain characteristics of the sleeves enables predicting their service life and increasing the stability of the printing process through possible corrections of other process parameters.
