With the launch of new grades, Russell-Webb's S88 range of anti-set-off spray powders now offers compliance with the most demanding quality standards - the German BG (Berufsgenossenschaft) specification The additional grades bring the total of S88 products to six, all of which conform to the BG requirement - namely, 0 per cent particles under five microns in size and 90 per cent particles of more than 10 microns

More than ever, printers must find ways to improve print quality, while at the same time, reduce cost, so for years, Day International said its R and D efforts have been driven by that pursuit.
Russell-Webb said that all of the S88 powders exceed the BG requirements by containing 97 per cent particles above 10 microns.
Meeting the BG standard delivers significant production and economic benefits, explained Tim Webb, managing director of Russell-Webb: "Although the S88 range will work with a wide range of spray systems, its exceptionally consistent grading is especially suited to the very latest generation of powder spray units fitted to the most sophisticated high-speed presses.
These systems require exceptionally well-graded powders with excellent particle distribution and flow rates - all of which are features of the S88 range.
All the products are also manufactured to the very high standards of powder purity for which Russell-Webb is known." Without the finer particles, the S88 powders have a greater mass density enabling more useful powder particles to reach the sheet, he added.
That ensures a more even spray pattern and a cleaner press and pressroom, and reduces wear on chains and grippers.
Those features, and the fact that less powder is required to prevent set-off, makes for greater economy in use - more than justifying the slight increase in initial cost compared to conventional powders.
Tim Webb commented: "Since the first S88 products were shown at Drupa 2004, the range has been very well received in the demanding European and Japanese markets.
These products are designed for the best equipment and the best print.".
