3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are highly engineered to provide a very tight caliper tolerance, allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam used in this tape can withstand long and high-speed print runs, ensuring durability and reliability.
This cushion tape is specifically manufactured for 40 mil applications and is constructed with engineered acrylic adhesives. The adhesive on the linered (plate) side of the tape is designed for mounting photopolymer plates, while the adhesive on the non-linered (sleeve/cylinder) side is designed for mounting to flexographic printing cylinders or sleeves. This ensures easy application during mounting and clean removal when demounting.
One of the key features of 3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1540 is its air release liners. Unlike other mounting tapes that use pebbled or flat release liners, 3M air release liners have a crosshatched pattern. This unique pattern creates microchannels in the easy mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape. As a result, air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and sleeve or cylinder, resulting in virtually bubble-free mounting. This not only speeds up the setup process but also ensures smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity. Additionally, the adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting, further enhancing the overall printing experience.
For decades, 3M products have been trusted and relied upon in printing plants to improve the quality of work and enhance efficiency. With 3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1540, you can keep your presses running smoothly and ensure customer satisfaction with every print job.
