3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H with easy mount adhesive is designed for mounting flexographic print plates to cylinders or sleeves. This white foam mounting tape provides high quality standard combination print.
- 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) double coated foam tape has the air release feature with a plate side adhesive technology designed to resist edge lifting on flexographic print plates
- Has a standard medium density foam that is ideal for printing combinations of solids and process with halftone dots. The white foam color indicates the standard, medium density foam
- Securely bonds the flexographic photopolymer plate to the print sleeve or steel cylinder to prevent plate edge lifting during printing
- Has higher plate side adhesion for challenging print conditions that use thick plates or small print sleeves
- Print plates mounted on E1020H 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

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What makes the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H different from other plate mounting tapes available in the market?
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H is specially designed to provide excellent adhesion while minimizing bounce during printing, resulting in consistent and high-quality print jobs.
-
Is the white color of this plate mounting tape important for any specific printing applications?
Yes, the white color helps with easy visual alignment and inspection during plate mounting processes. It can aid in achieving accurate positioning on press.
-
Can you provide some guidance on how best to store and handle this product to maintain its quality?
To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to store this plate mounting tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Additionally, handling the roll with clean hands and using proper tools for application can help maintain its adhesive properties.
3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H is a white foam tape that provides high-quality combination print. It is the standard tape for combination print and features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting. This tape also has excellent resistance to lifting on press, allowing for clean plate removal.
Recommended Applications- Mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves
- Used in combination, process, and solid printing processes
- 3M sticky back tapes are designed for wide-web presses to print film or paper for the flexible packaging industry
3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are highly engineered to provide a very tight caliper tolerance, allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots and maintain 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 provides easy application at mounting and clean removal when demounting.
Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment
3M air release liners have a crosshatched pattern, unlike other mounting tapes that use a pebbled or flat release liner. The embossed crosshatched pattern imprints unique micro-channels into the easy mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape. This results in air bubbles disappearing from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and sleeve or cylinder, for virtually bubble-free mounting. Setup is faster with smoother surfaces, leading to cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The adhesive also maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
