Professional 15 mil orange foam flexographic plate mounting tape with air release technology, 18 in x 36 yd, designed for bubble-free mounting and easy plate removal from ink-contaminated surfaces.
The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1215 is a professional-grade flexographic plate mounting solution designed for industrial printing applications. This 15 mil orange foam tape features advanced air release technology with a cross-hatch pattern that eliminates air bubbles during mounting, ensuring bubble-free application and superior print quality. The tape measures 18 inches wide by 36 yards long and is constructed with engineered differential acrylate adhesives specifically formulated for flexographic printing.
This specialized mounting tape is engineered with light density foam, ideal for combinations of solids and process printing with halftone dots. The dual-adhesive system features plate-side adhesive technology designed for easy removal from ink-contaminated flexographic print plates, while the sleeve/cylinder-side adhesive ensures secure bonding to printing cylinders or sleeves without adhesive residue. The orange foam color indicates light density composition, and the polycoated kraft paper liner with cross-hatch embossing creates micro-channels that allow entrapped air to escape during mounting.
Designed for high-speed, long-run printing operations, this cushion tape provides excellent resistance to plate lifting on press and demonstrates superior tolerance to ink contaminants. The compressible polyethylene foam backing withstands demanding production environments while maintaining tight caliper tolerance for consistent print registration across multiple manufacturing lots. With a 24-month shelf life and construction meeting industrial standards, this tape delivers reliable performance for professional flexographic printers seeking quality, efficiency, and reduced worker fatigue.
