tesa® Softprint 52117 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.

Product Features

• Foam properties: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.
• 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, controlled 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. Red color marking indicates the soft foam.
• The soft foam makes this the ideal solution in printing screens and line work.
