12 SET PACK (24 each) OF GENUINE KOMPAC ll FELT CLEANING SEALS.
Weekly use of Kompac Cleaning Seals prolongs roller life by removing dried ink residue form form roller ends.
The precision ground Kompac form roller has the longest 'use life' of any dampening system with an average use-life of 6-8 years.
If roller ends are not cleaned and allowed to accumulate ink, ink solvents remain active at roller ends 24/7, allowing solvents to penetrate deep within rubber compound causing 'roller ends to swell'.
When form roll ends swell, excess nip pressures are created at the ends of Kompac causing seals to wear unevenly, and the edges of the plate runs dry, producing toning at side edges of copy.
Form roll end swelling is the primary cause of premature form roller failure.
For optimum performance and longivity, use felt cleaning seals religiously, at least once per week!
