HOW TO IMPROVE ADHESION ON THE ACRYLIC PLATE SIDE

Subject: Reusing Scapa Exafit
Gents,
There has been a long standing issue of reusing our tapes. Apart from the development work
with the new range, which has improved this aspect of the product, I can also give a tip that will
increase the tack of the product when being reused.
It has been discovered that wiping the plate side of the tape, whilst attached to the cylinder, with a
lint free cloth soaked in IPA (Iso Propylene Alcohol) will give an immediate increase in the tack.
Also, after the print run, there is no risk of adhesive residue being left on the cylinder.
Note, this is recommended for the acrylic side only.
Our thanks to Ernesto Dorfzaun - Fantape Ecuador, for raising this issue and leading us to this
conclusion. So, any other tips that you have and have not shared, please do so as soon as
possible!
Regards to all
Roger
