tesa® 52315

Plate mounting tape for photopolymer plates in flexographic printing

 

Product description

tesa® 52310 (transparent), tesa® 52315 (yellow), tesa® 52320 (white) and tesa® 52325 (pink) are a range of tesaprint® plate mounting solutions, each of a different thickness category.

The unwind characteristics of all four tapes offer easier tape mounting. The structured PP-liner also prevents the formation of air pockets when plate mounting. Plates are easily repositioned during mounting as the full adhesion of the tape only becomes effective during the print run.

The high adhesion and good shear resistance of these tapes ensure that there is no plate movement or edge lift problems, even at high speeds and on extended print runs. On demounting, there are no adhesive residues on the plate or the cylinder.

Processing and storage information
Surface condition
Surfaces must be dry, free from dust, oil, oxides, release agents and other contaminants.

Surface cleaning
The following cleaning agents, for example, can be used to remove dust, oil, separating agents and other impurities:

Isopropanol/water 50/50
Heptane or ethanol
Acetone or MEK
Suitable other cleaning agents that do not leave any residues and do not attack the substrate.

Temperature
The most favourable processing temperature (object and ambient temperature) is between +15°C and +25°C.

Pressure
The strength of the bond is directly dependent on the contact that the adhesive has with the surfaces to be bonded. A short, high pressure (e.g. with a squeegee, pressure roller or pressure device, etc.) ensures good surface contact. The type and amount of pressure depends on the material (thin- or thick-walled, etc.) and the geometry of the components. Rule of thumb: approx. 20 N/cm².

Storage
The rolls should be stored in their packaging protected from light at a temperature between +15°C and +25°C and a relative humidity of 50%.
