3M Cushion-Mount Pro Plate Mounting Tape with Comply Adhesive System 21920 Pink is a high-quality pink foam tape designed for light to medium combination print in flexographic printing. This tape features an air release feature that allows for bubble-free mounting and ensures predictable and repeatable print results. It is specifically engineered to be tolerant of ink contaminants and has a reliable adhesive that resists lifting on press, while still being easy to remove cleanly from the print plate and the cylinder or sleeve. In fact, it is up to 78% easier to remove the flexographic photopolymer plate from this tape compared to 3M Cushion-Mount Plus H-Series Plate Mounting Tapes, and up to 54% easier to remove the tape from a sleeve compared to 3M Cushion-Mount Plus E-, H-, and L-Series Plate Mounting Tapes. These features contribute to maintaining productive print operations.
Recommended Applications- Flexographic printing, flexographic printers
- 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 highly engineered to provide very tight caliper tolerance, allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam used in this tape can withstand long and high-speed print runs.
This cushion tape is specifically manufactured for 20 mil applications and is constructed with differential acrylate 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.
On Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment
The 3M Comply Adhesive System features a crosshatch pattern of unique micro-channels that allow air to escape more easily compared to mounting tapes with a pebbled or flat adhesive surface. 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 smoother surfaces created by this adhesive system enable faster setup, cleaner print quality, and higher productivity. Additionally, the adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
