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

-
What makes the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H stand out from other plate mounting tapes?
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H is designed with unique cushion properties that help provide excellent print quality and reduce bouncing during printing, leading to improved productivity and efficiency.
-
Can you provide some guidance on how to properly use this plate mounting tape for optimal results?
Sure! When applying the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H, it's important to ensure proper surface preparation by cleaning and degreasing the plate cylinder before installation. Additionally, following recommended application techniques will help achieve accurate plate alignment and secure adhesion.
-
How long can I expect a roll of the 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020H to last?
The durability of each roll of this tape will vary depending on usage frequency and printing conditions. Generally, one roll measuring 20 inches x 36 yards has enough length for multiple applications but may need replacement based on wear and tear over time.
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.
