Double Sided Hard Foam Plate Mounting Tape - 550 μm (20thou) Series - Standard Adhesion

PRODUCT REFERENCE: 43240HP

Exafit® 43240HP is a double-sided foam tape especially designed for flexographic plate mounting. It is based on a specialty acrylic adhesive on its open side (cylinder side), and a graphic grade acrylic adhesive on its closed side (clichés side). Exafit® 43240HP is reinforced with a polyester film and uses a transparent smooth siliconised embossed PP release liner.

Applications

  • Mounting of flexographic photopolymer and rubber clichés on to cylinders or sleeves.
  • Exafit® 43240HP is primarily designed for pure block printing, or a combination of both half-tone and block printing when used on the same plate.
  • Exafit® 43240HP is particularly suitable for mounting soft to medium-hard photopolymer clichés on to medium to large size diameter cylinders.

Product Benefits

  • Special high performance PE foam allows even longer, faster print runs with consistently high print definition and reduced dot gain at elevated machine speeds.
  • The compressible structure enhances print quality by absorbing any tolerances caused by the irregularities between the impression cylinder, the printing plates and the print cylinder or sleeve. It reduces machine vibration.
  • The specific embossed plastic liner used on Exafit® 43240HP reduces the risk of air entrapment, and allows bubble – free mounting of the clichés, especially when this operation is done manually.
  • Differential adhesion, with standard adhesion and tack on the plate side and a controlled adhesion on the cylinder side, makes Exafit® 43240HP versatile enough to be used for mounting a variety of clichés on to steel cylinders or sleeves.
  • The blue colour of the foam helps in a quick identification of the foam hardness.
