RotoMetrics has launched RotoRepel No-Stick Treatment, which is designed to solve the toughest adhesive challenges. Available on solid (new and resharpened) and flexible dies, RotoRepel features an exclusive technology and formulation that minimizes adhesive pick-up and transfer. 

RotoRepel is now available on RotoMetrics dies manufactured in US locations and will be available at all other RotoMetrics global locations in the beginning of 2018.

RotoRepel has many advantages. It is ultra-thin and will not chip or flake. In addition, blade profiles remain precise even after treatment with RotoRepel because there is no coating buildup.  Dies  treated with RotoRepel will run longer before any adhesive build-up occurs, as well. If there is any adhesive build up, the dies easily wipe off. In most cases, dies are stored after use and can quickly go on press again without extensive cleaning.  

Overall, press setup and downtime are significantly reduced.  

“RotoRepel is the culmination of three years of extensive R&D, and we actually have a nonstick that really works on almost all adhesives,” says Butch Schomber, new product innovation manager for Rotometrics. “After months of field trials with both convertors and material suppliers, RotoRepel continues to receive unprecedented feedback. Our test trial customers love RotoRepel. Not only is it allowing operators to run longer between die cleanings, it almost eliminates adhesive whip and drastically reduces label lift and contaminated product. Due to less die handling, our customers are also reporting a major drop in die damage caused in the cleaning process.”
