RBP Introduces Unique Fountain Solution Delivery System for the Newspaper Industry
Milwaukee, WI…RBP Chemical Technology, Inc. recently released Concept 21® 5 Star, a revolutionary super-concentrated chemistry package and precision delivery system that reduces chemical costs, saves paper and improves print quality.
Concept 21 5 Star is designed specifically for the newspaper industry and is available in neutral and mild acid formulations. It is compatible with brush, spray and conventional dampening systems and is proven to deliver consistent dosage for optimum performance every time.
Concept 21 5 Star reduces plate sensitizing, prints cleaner and more consistently and lowers water and ink settings. It is extremely effective at dosages typically only 25% to 35% of conventional fountain solutions, which helps reduce VOCs and SKUs. Newspaper printers also report fewer web breaks and wash ups, for additional time savings.

Concept 21® Fountain Solution System
"A Whole New Way of Looking at
Fountain Solution."
Milwaukee, WI. Calling it “a whole new way to look at fountain solution,” RBP Chemical Technology introduces its new Concept 21® fountain solution delivery system.
RBP president Mark E. Kannenberg says the Concept 21 system is among the most
important new developments in fountain solution technology in the last thirty years.
He explains that the Concept 21 system features a unique combination of highly-
concentrated chemistry components and a specially-designed delivery system
which provides printers with unprecedented latitude on the press.
The new system allows printers complete versatility in meeting their chemistry needs
for different presses, inks, papers and dampening systems, conditions which typically
require differing solutions with specific formulas or concentrations, he said.
“It’s the first system which features separate chemistry components coupled with a
unique (patent applied for) delivery system that allows printers to precisely meter and
custom blend differing concentrations and balances of de-sensitizing and wetting
agents into the precise formulations they need,” Kannenberg said.
“You’ve always been able to add more concentrate to the working solution,” he
continued, “but with regular concentrates, you added more of everything. You couldn’t
change the balance of de-sensitizing and wetting agents. Now you can change the
balance on-press instead of moving in a new drum or tote. For the first time you will be
able to create your own complete line of custom chemistry to meet your own exact
on-press needs without inventorying and switching individual solutions,”
Kannenberg said.
“You can replicate virtually any of our RBP fountain solutions using the Concept 21
system, and you can replicate virtually any other formula from any other supplier as
well. It’s not ‘one solution’ fits all; it’s one system fits all.”
Kannenberg says what makes the Concept 21 system so versatile is the combination
of super-concentrated chemistry components with the precision-metering capabilities
of a mixing system originally developed for the exactingly precise needs of the food
processing industry. Food companies need precision and consistency batch after batch.
Once the formulation is entered into the delivery system, it is “locked in” so there are
no inadvertent changes in the properties of the working fountain solution. Once set,
the formulation is adjusted only to meet the needs of different presses or different jobs.
Months of real-job, real-life testing in everyday use in Beta sites at commercial printers
has shown that the Concept 21 system allows printers to better control piling, speed
make-readies, get up to color faster, run consistently sharper dots and reduce
paper waste, Kannenberg reported.
Tests conducted by RBP indicate that working solutions from the Concept 21
system typically contain at least 30% fewer VOCs than those made using regular
concentrates, making them more environmentally-friendly.

RBP Broadens Efforts in European Market
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, October 2007 - RBP Chemical Technology, a supplier of process chemicals to the worldwide printed circuit and graphic arts industries, is expanding efforts in Europe. In support of European customers, RBP will exhibit at the forthcoming Productronica exhibition in Munich, broadening its coverage of the European printed circuit market and graphic arts markets. RBP chemical products have long been manufactured under license to a Finnish company, Kemira GrowHow. The European Commission recently approved the acquisition of Kemira GrowHow by Yara International ASA, a major chemical company headquartered in Norway. The Productronica exhibit will combine the efforts of Yara and RBP Chemical Technology and make RBP products available to a much wider market.
Discussing the new market thrust, RBP Chemical Technology President Mark Kannenberg commented: “With the acquisition of our Finnish licensee by Yara International ASA, RBP Chemical Technology will enjoy significantly wider distribution throughout the European community. This complements our efforts in India, where we recent brought on stream manufacturing operations to support customers in the Far East and the Indian subcontinent.”
