Professional tan foam plate mounting tape for flexographic printing with air release technology, bubble-free mounting, and easy clean removal. 18 in x 36 yd, 15 mil thickness.
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1115 is a professional-grade tan foam mounting tape specifically engineered for flexographic printing applications. This double-coated foam tape features an innovative air release technology with differential acrylate adhesive on both sides, designed to securely bond photopolymer plates to print sleeves or steel cylinders while preventing plate edge lifting during high-speed printing operations. The tape measures 18 inches in width, 36 yards in length, and 15 mil thickness, providing optimal cushioning for process printing with halftone dots.
The E1115 mounting tape incorporates a crosshatched pattern release liner that creates unique microchannels in the easy-mount adhesive, allowing trapped air to escape during application. This innovative design ensures virtually bubble-free mounting setup, resulting in smoother surfaces and cleaner print quality with higher productivity. The soft density tan foam is ideal for process printing applications, and the tape is constructed with engineered acrylic adhesives where the plate-side adhesive is specifically designed for photopolymer plate mounting, while the sleeve/cylinder-side adhesive facilitates easy application and clean removal during demounting.
This industrial-grade mounting tape has been engineered to provide very tight caliper tolerance, allowing printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots while maintaining tight print registration. The compressible foam backbone withstands long and high-speed print runs without degradation. With a 24-month shelf life and 2-year warranty from date of manufacture, this tape is suitable for narrow web presses used in tag and label printing. The product comes as 1 roll per case and is backed by decades of 3M expertise in the printing industry.
