Professional 20 mil white foam flexographic plate mounting tape with air release technology, bubble-free application, and easy clean removal. 27 in x 36 yd roll designed for high-speed printing on cylinders and sleeves.
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020 is a professional-grade white foam mounting tape specifically engineered for flexographic printing applications. This double-coated foam tape features an air release technology with differential acrylate adhesive on both sides, designed to securely bond flexographic photopolymer plates to print sleeves or steel cylinders while preventing plate edge lifting during high-speed printing operations. The tape measures 27 inches wide by 36 yards long with a 20 mil thickness, providing the standard medium density foam ideal for printing combinations of solids, process colors, and halftone dots.
This specialized mounting tape incorporates an innovative cross-hatch pattern release liner that creates unique micro-channels in the easy-mount adhesive, allowing entrapped air to escape during application. The result is virtually bubble-free mounting that ensures cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The plate-side adhesive is specifically formulated for easy removal from photopolymer plates without adhesive residue, while the sleeve/cylinder-side adhesive provides secure mounting with clean demounting capabilities. The tape maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting, making it ideal for wide-web presses used in flexible packaging industries.
Manufactured with engineered acrylic adhesives and a polyethylene foam backing protected by polycoated polyester liners, the E1020 tape is constructed to withstand long and high-speed print runs while maintaining very tight caliper tolerance for consistent print registration. This industrial-grade product comes in a single roll per case and is backed by a 2-year warranty from the date of manufacture, making it a reliable choice for professional printing operations worldwide.
