Professional white foam flexographic plate mounting tape with differential acrylate adhesive, 27 in x 36 yd, 20 mil thickness. Features air release technology for bubble-free mounting and easy plate removal with excellent ink contamination resistance.
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1020 is a professional-grade white foam tape specifically engineered for flexographic printing applications. This double-coated standard density foam tape measures 27 inches wide by 36 yards long with a 20 mil thickness, making it ideal for mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves. The tape features a differential acrylate adhesive system on both sides, protected by a polycoated polyester release liner with a unique crosshatched pattern that creates micro-channels for air release.
Designed for high-performance printing environments, this plate mounting tape excels in combination printing with solids and process halftone dots. The innovative air release feature allows entrapped air to escape between the tape and plate, and between the tape and sleeve or cylinder, resulting in virtually bubble-free mounting. The white foam color indicates standard, medium density construction, while the grooved adhesive pattern from the cross-hatch release liner ensures secure bonding without residue. The tape is engineered to withstand long and high-speed print runs while maintaining tight caliper tolerance for consistent print registration across multiple manufacturing lots.
This industrial-grade product is manufactured with engineered acrylic adhesives optimized for easy plate removal and clean demounting from printing cylinders or sleeves. The tape prevents plate edge lifting during printing and demonstrates excellent resistance to ink contamination, allowing for straightforward and clean plate removal after production runs. With a 24-month shelf life, this flexographic plate mounting tape is the standard choice for wide-web presses printing film or paper for the flexible packaging industry, helping printing plants improve work quality and operational efficiency.
