All partners have with success fulfilled the selection process of PolyMX and have proven to be able to build high performance Polytop MX dies.

Benefits in the production

Polytop MX has become the world leading product in the area of long-lasting ejection material for medium, long, repeated and special runs. British and Irish packaging plants can benefit of the many advantages Polytop MX offers. The material has proven to create faster runs with less pressure. Even though Polytop MX is originally designed for rotary dies, it has proven to be just as successful for flatbed die-cutting. Because of its reliable height and hardness of the material, you can finish the die at one height. This means a stable cutting process with less pressure, higher production speeds and a decrease of wear at the anvil and knives.

The first, the best

While the quality of Polytop MX is always consistent, the hardness and colour possibility is varied. Whereas the market was used to work with black and grey rubbers, PolyMX is the first who introduced a colour-coded hardness range. This means that each hardness has its own recognizable colour. The material is extremely wear-proof, with low surface resistance. During use, the hardness and thickness of the material remains constant. An additional advantage is that the forms for repeat orders are immediately available and can be placed on the die-cutting machine without the need for repair, a fact that reduces changeover and maintenance costs. Polytop MX retains its original form, allowing production to be immediately restarted.

Manufacturer and advisor

To make the most of Polytop MX, it is essential that the complete system will be used correctly. Against that background, PolyMX is the only manufacturer of ejection material to offer installation advice; the company even visits end users to offer on the spot recommendations. Partners of PolyMX undergo a strict selection process before they are allowed to supply the system and receive training to raise their technical knowledge to the required high level. PolyMX then continues to support them and supply tailor-made advice.

Cees van Golverdingen, CEO of PolyMX and developer of Polytop MX: “We believe that working with trained partners is the only way to ensure the quality of our products. We see that this is valued by the packaging plants as the quality of the Polytop MX die is consistent and success can be guaranteed.”
