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
-
Sure, here are the questions and answers
Can the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H be used for both flexographic and letterpress printing?
-
Yes, this tape is designed to work well with both flexographic and letterpress printing processes.
Is the adhesive on this plate mounting tape repositionable during application?
-
The adhesive provides a strong bond once applied but allows some initial repositioning if needed for accurate placement.
How does the 20 mil thickness of this plate mounting tape contribute to its performance?
-
The 20 mil thickness offers excellent cushioning and support for high-quality print results while helping to reduce press bounce.
3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H is a white foam tape that provides high-quality combination print. This tape is specifically designed for combination print and features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting. It also has excellent resistance to lifting on press, ensuring clean plate removal.
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 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 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 from between the tape and plate, as well as between the tape and sleeve or cylinder. The setup process is faster with smoother surfaces, leading to cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The adhesive also maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
