Product description
tesa® 52117 Softprint Steel Master 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 soft foam makes this the ideal solution for printing combinations and screens.
Foam properties
- Highly compressible foam, with superior recovery behavior for excellent print quality
- Long lasting 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, controlled 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
- Red color marking indicates the soft foam
