New Film Splicing Tapes by tesa
We are pleased to introduce two new splicing tapes designed for “on‐demand” splicing of film webs during highspeed flexographic printing applications. Both products are engineered for optimal performance during critical flying splice printing environments; each offers its own distinctions:
Meet tesa® 51918
Based on the patented tesa EasySplice® technology, tesa® 51918 takes flying splices to a whole new level! Backed by a high‐performance polyester film, tesa® 51918 is designed to be applied to the new film web in a straight line configuration, offering maximum efficiency in web preparation time. Its sophisticated adhesive system is designed to securely adhere to the expiring film web during flying splice printing, coating, and converting applications. Furthermore, the tape’s distinctive black polyester backing is designed to resist tearing when thick films are converted at high web tensions. The product’s black color also makes it very easily detectable, even at the highest of print speeds.
Meet tesa® 51904
Backed by decades of experience in developing double‐sided tapes for industrial applications, tesa R&D engineers have developed a versatile double‐sided splicing tape designed for both film spicing applications as well as new web “core starting” applications. Using the distinctive pink‐colored tape ‐ tesa® 51904, print specialists can prepare new film webs with splice patterns of choice. The product’s rugged rubber adhesive system is specially formulated to securely adhere to expiring film webs during the printing, coating, and converting operations, as well as offering an optimal choice for attaching film roles onto new cores.
With the addition of these new products to the extensive tesa product line, flexible package printers are equipped with more flexibility than ever before, including: fast and easy splice preparation; unchanged press speeds during printing and roll changes; consistent registration throughout the entire print run as press speeds remain constant; and maximized machine efficiency.
