tesa Softprint® 52014 Steel Master

tesa Softprint® 52014 STM is a double-coated foam tape, designed specifically for mounting photopolymer plates with a thickness of 1.14mm (0.045") or 1.70 mm (0.067") in flexographic label printing. \n \nThe hard foam makes this the ideal solution for printing solids. \n \nFoam properties \n

\n
• Highly compressible foam, with superior recovery behavior for excellent print quality
\n
• Long lasting recovery characteristic for extended and high speed print runs
\n
• Low thickness tolerances for quick print preparation and reduced waste
\n

\nAdhesive properties \n

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

Additional properties

\n

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