52017 tesa® Softprint STM

tesa® 52017 is a soft-density foam plate mounting tape designed for photopolymer plates in flexographic printing. It is equipped with a high bonding on the open side, high bonding to plate, non-increasing bonding power as well as a very cohesive adhesive structure. These characteristics help avoid plate movement and edge lifting while allowing an easy, residue-free demounting. Its foam characteristics include highly compressible foam, long lasting recovery properties as well as low thickness tolerances. This plate mounting tape is suitable for plates thicknesses from  67-100 mils.

Product Features

  • 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
  • High bonding on open side to steel cylinder or sleeve to avoid plate movement
  • High bonding to plate to avoid edge lifting or plate movement
  • Non increasing bonding power for easy repositioning and especially for easy demounting of plate and tape
  • Very cohesive adhesive structure for demounting without adhesive residues
  • The structured PP-liner prevents the formation of air pockets when plate mounting
