At INFOFLEX 2023, organized by the Flexographic Technical Association, Asahi Kasei Will Feature AWP\u2122-DEW and AWP\u2122 CleanFlat Environmentally Sound CleanPrint solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tokyo, Japan & Brussels, Belgium, March 20, 2023. <\/strong>Asahi Kasei, a pioneer in flexographic photopolymer plate development, today reported it will be attending INFOFLEX 2023, organized by the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA), as a Platinum Sponsor. The event, scheduled for 17-18 April at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. Asahi Kasei will be located in Booth 331 at the event. Gene Martin, agent for Asahi Photoproducts USA, will speak at the INFOFLEX 2023<\/a> Innovation Central Theater explaining Asahi Kasei\u2019s sustainability journey and commitments as well as its achievements to date, to inspire others to follow the company\u2019s lead. The title of his talk is Accelerating the Sustainability Journey in Flexographic Printing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Asahi water-washable plate has been in the market for 15 years,\u201d Martin said, \u201cand we continue to improve its value to the industry and to the environment. In 2022, our AWP\u2122-DEW<\/a> water-washable plate achieved Carbon Neutral certification, highlighting the company direction to be come carbon neutral across all its businesses by 2050. Also featured in our booth will be the AWP\u2122 CleanFlat plate<\/a>, a water-washable FlatTop plate solution with high-quality printing press consistency. I am proud to be able to bring these and other important messages to INFOFLEX on behalf of the company and the flexo community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the event, Asahi Kasei will also be introducing two other important developments that are critical elements of its accelerated sustainability journey. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhile we believe it is essential to increasingly move production to more environmentally balanced water-washable flexo plates,\u201d Martin added, \u201cmany companies are still using solvent wash for a variety of reasons. Our new solvent wash plate is a step in the right sustainability direction, not only reducing the volume of solvents used, but also offering faster time to market with no compromise in quality compared to alternative solvent plates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Asahi Kasei\u2019s water recycling unit<\/a>, targeted for use with larger Asahi plate processing systems, features an innovative filtering system that recycles up to 75% of the water used in plate processing, with only the remaining 25%, in the form of a slurry or sludge, to be disposed of. Forty percent of the additive used in the water wash remains in the filtered water, reducing the amount of additive required for processing subsequent plates. \u201cFresh water is one of the earth\u2019s most precious resources,\u201d Yuji Suzuki, Asahi Technical Support Professional, stated. \u201cWe chose to develop water-washable plates to eliminate the need for VOC solvents as a bases for the washout solution. But at the same time, we wanted to find a way to minimize the use of that water. This recycling unit does just that.\u201d At INFOFLEX 2023, organized by the Flexographic Technical Association, Asahi Kasei Will Feature AWP\u2122-DEW and AWP\u2122 CleanFlat Environmentally Sound CleanPrint solutions Tokyo, Japan & Brussels, Belgium, March 20, 2023.
