Description

tesa Softprint® 52114 STM TP is a double-coated foam tape, designed specifically for mounting photopolymer plates with a thickness of 1.14mm (0.045″) or 1.70mm (0.067″) in flexographic label printing.

The hard foam makes this the ideal solution for printing solids.

Foam properties

Highly compressible foam, with superior recovery behavior for excellent print quality

  • Long lsting recovery characteristic for extended and high speed print runs
  • Low thickness tolerances for quick print preparation and reduced waste

Adhesive properties

  • High bonding on open side to steel cylinder or sleeve to avoid plate movement
  • Sufficient bonding to plate to avoid edge lifting or plate movement
  • Non increasing, tailored bonding power for easy repositioning and especially for easy demounting of thinner plates
  • Very cohesive adhesive structure for demounting without adhesive residues

Additional properties

  • The structured PP-liner prevents the formation of air pockets when plate mounting
  • Green color marking indicates the medium foam quality
