A new splicing tape developed by tesa for use with the latest flexo print films is said to enable fast and easy splice preparation with reliable results while eliminating the need to reduce printing speed.
Tesa says the 51910 splicing tape has shown ‘convincing results’ in rigorous tests on a broad range of substrates at web speeds of over 600m/min. Roll changes can be performed with even the thinnest and most flexible films, such as the outer layer of nappies, without reducing web speed, the company states. Positive results have also been achieved when laminating printed films, in particular those with aluminium or other barrier layers.
A key feature of the new tape is the high tack of the split backing strip which provides the necessary adhesion for splicing film bales, including soft and loosely wound rolls.
