52380
***Discontinued*** Foam Platemounting Tape
Discontinued 52380 is a 17 mil, PE, double coated foam tape designed for mounting photopolymer plates in label printing and flexo printing with non-metric systems. Its soft foam is particularly suited for high quality halftone printing. 52380 is highly compressible and offers improved print quality at higher speed runs. The acrylic adhesive allows easy repositioning, simple mounting, residue free demounting of plate and tape. Plates stay securely in place with no edge lifting due to the very good bond achieved. The structured polypropylene liner prevent the formation of air bubbles when plate mounting.
