tesa® Softprint 52016 Steel Master double-coated foam tape

• tesa® Softprint 52016 STM is a double-coated foam tape, designed specifically for
• mounting photopolymer plates with a thickness
• of 1.14mm (0.045″) or 1.70 mm (0.067″) in flexographic label printing.
• The medium foam makes this the ideal compromise in printing solids,
• line work and screen with only one foam hardness.
• 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 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
• Purple color marking indicates the hard foam
• Type of adhesive tackified acrylic
• Backing material PE foam with film lamination
• Total thickness 430 µm
• Color of logo purple
