Recommended Applications- Mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves
- Used in combination, process, and solid printing processes
- Designed for wide-web presses to print film or paper for the flexible packaging industry
3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are engineered to provide tight caliper tolerance, enabling 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 20 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 feature a unique crosshatched pattern, unlike other mounting tapes that use pebbled or flat release liners. This embossed crosshatched pattern creates micro-channels 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 setup process is faster and provides smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The adhesive also maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
