New, for Especially High Requirements in Newspaper Printing

With tesa EasySplice® Newsprint technology, tesa has reduced the time needed to prepare for adhesion in splicing for newspaper printing by two-thirds – while at the same time providing markedly higher tear resistance than with conventional adhesion methods. And because robots are directing processes more and more frequently, including in offset printing, tesa EasySplice® Newsprint also offers a technology suitable for fully automated web splicing. These two proven, highly efficient solutions for roll changes in newspaper printing are now joined by one more products from tesa: tesa EasySplice® Newsprint Detect High Shear.

The new solution offer the well-known advantages of central, exceptionally fast splice preparation and high process reliability, even for printing processes taking place at high temperatures. The core of the new splicing tape is a newly developed adhesive mass with especially high shear resistance. This makes tesa EasySplice® Newsprint Detect High Shear ideal for longer-term mounting in a roller bearing, where the adhesive tapes are exposed to high, sustained strain caused by shear. Due to their high shear resistance and strong initial tack, the new tesa adhesive tape is ideally geared to centralized splice preparation.

And the tape is perfectly suited to passage through the curing units of hybrid presses as well. During curing, the adhesive tape has to maintain its high adhesive force despite the heat. Thanks to the new adhesive mass, the high-shear solution withstands even the extreme temperatures of up to 200 C that can occur, for example, if passage through the curing unit is slow.

In addition to these properties, tesa EasySplice® Newsprint Detect High Shear also offers the proven advantages of tesa EasySplice® Newsprint Detect: dependable automatic detection of the splice as well as efficient sorting and removal of waste prints.
