The Tapes Division designs and produces highly performing adhesive tapes for the most challenging industrial
applications on the global market.
A team of highly skilled chemists is continuously working on the development of ranges of performing products with
different degrees of adhesion (removable, repositionable, semi-permanent, permanent and ultra-permanent tapes),
cohesion (Low, Medium and High) and wettability (Wet and Dry).
The high technical expertise of our R&D team, alongside the wide range of supports, liners and adhesives used, enables
BiesSse to provide customized solutions according to the customers’ specific requirements as well as assistance during
the design, development, testing and implementation processes.
Plate Mounting tapes are as important in Flexo Printing process just as inks are.While the careful selection of the plate
and cylinder are as important for the final print job as the correct selection of the mounting tapes. BiesSse has
evolved a great variety of mounting tapes which can enhance the final print product.
BiesSe cushion mount tapes guarantee easiest plate mounting to cylinders and sleeves, from. The wide foam selection,
you can find differential adhesives, and a wide range of different compressibility foams and thicknesses available.
For haftone work where dot gain are a concern there is a softer version of cushion mount. For solid and dots you
have a range of medium density and for solids and crisp lines a high density cushion tape would give the best results
that customers demand and expect.
The wide range of BiesSse double-sided adhesive tapes, especially
designed for the printing industry, covers all the most important fields of application, such as flexible packaging, labels, pre-print and post-print cardboard.
In wide web flexo printing adhesive tapes, used for plate mounting onto the cylinder or sleeve, must offer
high-performance to meet the ever-increasing demands for print quality and efficient production processes.
The BiesSse range of adhesive tapes covers all printing requirements. The different series of cushion and rigid
doublesided adhesive tapes are differentiated by adhesive performance, thickness and compressibility. They are
characterized by low thickness tolerances, enabling easy mounting and easy removal of trapped air, offer perfect
adhesion during printing, show excellent results even at high speed and long print runs, and allow clean demounting
at the end of the process.
In narrow web flexo printing small diameter cylinders are being used, frequent job changes are made, and different and
complex label designs are the norm. Compared to wide web printing, narrow web printing normally requires adhesive tapes
with higher adhesion.
Our adhesive tapes provide a perfect plate bonding onto the cylinder or sleeve; they compensate any possible plate
deformation occurring during the print run, and ensure perfect thickness calibration.

In the flexo pre-printing process the paper reels are
printed before being processed on the corrugator.
Large cylinders and high-thickness photopolymer plate are
normally used.
Our adhesive tapes provide very high adhesion levels, solvent resistance and excellent adhesion during the printing process.
In the direct flexo printing of corrugated board,the adhesive tapes must allow for perfect adhesion to the printing
plates and the polyester carriers. The carriers are then fixed to the printing cylinders and must remain stable during
the high-speed printing operations, and must compensate for any plate deformation.
The wide range of BiesSse products includes rigid and soft non-cushioning double-sided adhesives tapes and base
cushioning foams for high process efficiency and high quality post-print.
The BiesSse MS FOAM range is mainly used for high-quality flexo post-printing of corrugated board.
The closed-cell polyethylene foam backing offers high resistance and resilience, thus optimizing print process and quality.
It allows for the reduction of the thickness of the printing plates, ensures excellent cushioning and press vibration
absorption even at high printing speed, and avoids cardboard crush reducing dot gain and the “washboard effect”.
The MS FOAM range is available in two versions with different thicknesses: MS FOAM SA (Self-Adhesive) self-adhesive
foam with paper liner, MS FOAM PET with polyester film laminated foam.
