Professional yellow foam flexographic plate mounting tape with air release technology, 18 in x 36 yd, 20 mil thickness, designed for bubble-free mounting and clean plate removal.
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1320H is a professional-grade yellow foam mounting tape specifically engineered for flexographic printing applications. This double-coated foam tape features a 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) thickness with an innovative air release feature and differential acrylate adhesive technology designed to resist edge lifting on flexographic print plates. The medium soft density foam is ideal for printing combinations of solids and process colors with halftone dots, providing superior print quality and consistency.
This specialized mounting tape is constructed with microchannels that allow air to escape during application, eliminating bubble problems for easier, virtually air-free mounting. The tape features engineered acrylic adhesives on both sides - the plate side adhesive is optimized for mounting photopolymer plates with high adhesion strength, while the cylinder/sleeve side adhesive provides clean, easy removal without residue. The yellow foam color indicates the medium soft density foam composition, making it ideal for demanding printing environments that require reliable plate mounting solutions.
The E1320H tape comes in a convenient 18 inch width by 36 yard length roll per case format, with a 24-month shelf life and 2-year warranty from the date of manufacture. It is manufactured with a polycoated polyester liner (4.5 mil thickness) and polyethylene foam backing material. This industrial-grade tape securely bonds flexographic photopolymer plates to print sleeves or steel cylinders while preventing plate edge lifting during high-speed printing operations, ensuring consistent print registration and quality output.
