Photopolymer Plate Mounting For Flexographic Print
52338 is a 15 mil, soft PVC, photopolymer plate mounting tape for high quality flexographic printing. It is designed for use in wide web flexo printing particularly on solid areas and line work. It unwinds smoothly, despite its relative thickness, to ensure easy cylinder coverage. The high adhesion and good shear resistance of this tape ensure that there is no plate movement or edge lift problems even at high speeds and on extended runs. The embossed polypropylene liner prevents the formation of air bubbles when plate mounting. 52338 exhibits excellent resistance to all commonly used solvent systems used in flexographic printing. The double linered version is (PV3).
