PRODUCT FAQ
-
What type of printing process is the 3M™ Thin Flexographic Mounting Tape best suited for?
The tape is ideal for flexographic printing plates and flexible print mediums.
-
Can this tape be used on cylinders with different diameters?
Yes, it can conform to cylinders of varying sizes as long as they are clean and dry.
-
Is 5 mil thickness considered a standard measure in the industry?
Yes, 5 mil thickness is commonly used in mounting tapes. This measurement provides strength without sacrificing flexibility.
-
Is there any particular temperature or humidity range that we should consider when using this tape for printing purposes?
It is recommended to use the tape within a temperature range of 60-80°F (15-27°C) and between 40%-60% relative humidity. However, extreme temperatures or high humidity may affect its adhesive properties.
3M™ Thin Flexographic Mounting Tape 2205 is a high-quality mounting tape that features the innovative 3M air release liner. Unlike other mounting tapes that use a pebbled or flat release liner, the 3M air release liner has a crosshatched pattern that imprints unique micro-channels into the easy mount adhesive. This allows entrapped air to escape, resulting in virtually bubble-free mounting.
With 3M™ Thin Flexographic Mounting Tape 2205, air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, and between the tape and sleeve or cylinder. This makes setup faster and provides smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity. Additionally, the adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
