Bubble Free Flexographic Plate Mounting

3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1520H is a high-quality purple foam tape designed for medium combination print. It features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting, ensuring a clean and smooth plate removal.

Recommended Applications
  • Mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves
  • Used in combination, process, and solid printing processes
  • On 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, 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 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 crosshatched pattern, unlike other mounting tapes that use a pebbled or flat release liner. The embossed crosshatched pattern creates unique micro-channels in the easy mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape. This results in virtually bubble-free mounting, as air bubbles disappear 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. Additionally, the adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.

Keep the Presses Running and Customers Coming Back

For decades, 3M products have been trusted in printing plants to improve the quality of work and enhance efficiency. With 3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1520H, you can ensure bubble-free mounting, clean plate removal, and excellent print quality, keeping your presses running smoothly and satisfying your customers.
