tesa Softprint^® 52115 Steel Master TP

Product description

tesa Softprint^® 52115 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 medium-hard foam makes this the ideal solution for printing combinations and solids.

Foam properties
¹ 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
• Blue color marking indicates the medium foam quality
