Tesa Tape 52114 Steel Master TP

tesa Softprint® 52114 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 hard foam makes this the ideal solution for printing solids.

Foam properties

*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
▪ Green color marking indicates the medium foam quality
