  • 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) double coated foam tape has the air release feature with a plate side adhesive technology designed to remove with less force from flexographic print plates
  • Has a medium density foam that is ideal for printing combinations of solids and process with halftone dots
  • Purple foam color indicates the medium density foam
  • Securely bonds the flexographic photopolymer plate to the print sleeve or steel cylinder to prevent plate edge lifting during printing
  • Print plates mounted on E1515 will have no air bubbles under the plate due to the air release feature designed into the tape
  • Grooves in the adhesive are created by a cross-hatch pattern from the release liner

Bubble Free Flexographic Plate Mounting

3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1515 is a high-quality purple foam tape designed for medium combination print. It features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting. This flexographic plate mounting tape is known for its excellent resistance to lifting on press, making plate removal easy and clean.

Recommended Applications
  • Mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves
  • Used in combination, process, and solid printing processes
  • Designed for narrow web presses to print tags and labels

3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are engineered to provide very tight caliper tolerance, allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam can withstand long and high-speed print runs.

This cushion tape is specifically manufactured for 15 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.

Easy Application with Reduced Air Entrapment

3M air release liners have a unique crosshatched pattern, unlike other mounting tapes that use a pebbled or flat release liner. The embossed crosshatched pattern creates microchannels in the easy mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape. This results in virtually bubble-free mounting, as air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and sleeve or cylinder. The smoother surfaces provided by this tape lead to faster setup, cleaner print quality, and higher productivity. The adhesive also maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.

Keep the Presses Running and your Customers Coming Back

For decades, 3M products have been trusted in printing plants to improve the quality of work and increase efficiency. With 3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1515, you can ensure bubble-free mounting, easy plate removal, and excellent print quality, keeping your presses running smoothly and satisfying your customers.
