tesa® Softprint 52114 Steel Master TP is a double-coated foam tape

• 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 1.70 mm (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.
• Backing material PE foam with film lamination
• Type of adhesive tackified acrylic
• Total thickness 430 µm
• Color of logo green
• Thickness category 380
• Hardness  hard
