PRODUCT FAQ
-
How does the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape B1020 adhere to printing plates?
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape B1020 uses a high-performance rubber-based adhesive that provides strong, reliable adhesion to printing plates.
-
Is the white color of this plate mounting tape important for any specific application purposes?
The white color is mainly for easy visibility during plate mounting and positioning. It helps users ensure proper alignment before applying pressure for secure bonding.
-
Can this tape be easily removed from printing plates without causing damage or leaving residue behind?
Yes, the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape B1020 is designed to offer clean removal without damaging or leaving sticky residue on printing plates, making repositioning and replacement hassle-free.
-
What are the dimensions and quantity included in one roll/case of 3M's B1020 Plate Mounting Tape?
Each roll of 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape B1020 measures 18 inches x 36 yards with a thickness of 20 mil. One case includes one roll of this high-quality plate mounting tape.
3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape B1020 is a high-quality tape designed for mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves. It features the air-release plate-side technology of the 3M Comply Adhesive System, ensuring easy application with virtually no air bubbles and consistent print quality. This tape is made of a 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) double coated standard density white foam, providing secure bonding of the flexographic photopolymer plate to the print sleeve or steel cylinder, preventing plate edge lifting during printing. Unlike tapes with reinforcement layers, this flexographic plate mounting tape can expand and contract on thin-walled sleeves, reducing the occurrence of air bubbles.
Recommended Applications:
- Mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves
- Price conscious applications such as short runs and frequent changeovers
- Used in combination, process, and solid printing processes
- Designed for wide-web presses to print film or paper for the flexible packaging industry
3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape B1020 is constructed with engineered acrylic adhesives specifically designed for 20 mil applications. The adhesive on the linered (plate) side of the tape is formulated for mounting photopolymer plates, while the adhesive on the non-linered (sleeve/cylinder) side is designed for mounting to flexographic printing cylinders or sleeves.
Easy Application with Reduced Air Entrapment:
Unlike flat or pebbled liners, B-Series liners used in this tape are crosshatched, creating unique microchannels in the adhesive. These microchannels allow air to flow throughout the adhesive, resulting in virtually bubble-free plate mounting. This feature makes the setup faster, providing smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity. Additionally, the adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
Understanding Flexographic Plate Mounting Tapes:
3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are highly engineered to provide very tight caliper tolerance, allowing flexographic printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam used in these tapes can withstand long and high-speed print runs.
