Kapa Plast combines bright white plastic coated cover layers with a polyurethane foam core. The surface provides excellent printing results and perfect ink adhesion, as well as an ideal surface tension. Due to the flatness of Kapa Plast high printing speeds can be achieved.
As Kapa Plast provides a non-crumbling foam core the printing environment always stays clean. Another significant advantage is the perfect image sharpness and colour intensity which is achieved due to the bright white surfaces of Kapa Plast.
Consequently Kapa Plast is the premium substrate for direct digital inkjet and screen printing. It is particularly suited as a base board for all artwork, or as a modelling and presentation board, or as a board for precision sawing of 3D logos and lettering.
Technically Kapa Plast features cover layers with a primer finish and enables the problem-free application of solvent based ink. (Dispersion paints should be tested because of the plastic-coating.). Kapa Plast also allow for easy processing and excellent cutting characteristics with standard blades.
For 40 years KAPA has been at the forefront of the manufacture of lightweight foam boards with a polyurethane foam core. KAPA is renowned for delivering high performance foam boards with usable surfaces on both sides, high quality cover sheet layers, excellent levels of stiffness, good dimensional stability and perfect flatness, even with thin boards. The polyurethane foam cores are exceptionally high quality with a very high heat resistance (100C long term, and 160C short term), problem free application of solvent based inks and glues, easy cutting (manual or with jigsaw) and no crumbling of the foam core. (Please note, the use of laser cutters to cut Kapa foamboards is not recommended as all products have paper based surface liners and you will get brown/burnt edges). |
