PMI Split Tape adhesive for screen frame protection

Description
PMI Split Tape #451 is a 7.6 cm adhesive protection tape for screen printing. It masks the inner edges of aluminium frames, between the emulsion and the profile. The PMI Tape brand ranks among the leaders in screen printing tapes.
After exposure and washout, open mesh remains around the stencil. Without protection, ink passes through this area and seeps under the frame. This screen printing masking tape seals the perimeter and blocks ink bleed. Prints stay clean, with no smudging on the substrate.
Its blue adhesive-free strips are the key feature. They let you tear the tape by hand, with no blade or scissors. Adhesion stays light on the frame and strong on the mesh. Removal leaves no marks and protects the exposed stencil.
The real gain shows at screen reclaim. The adhesive tape peels off in one move, with no dried ink to scrape. Degreasing starts faster for the next run. On long runs, this saved time cuts production cost.
This adhesive tape fits every aluminium screen printing frame. It suits manual work and automatic press production alike. No protective film needs removing before application.
Split Tape protects the frame edges, not the whole mesh. To block the entire screen surface, the screen masking tape works well. For all inks and emulsions on long runs, the universal all-inks tape steps up the range. This product joins the PMI screen printing supplies range.
