Professional 15 mil orange foam flexographic plate mounting tape with air release technology, 54 in x 36 yd, featuring easy plate removal and bubble-free installation for superior print quality.
3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape L1215 is a professional-grade orange foam tape specifically engineered for flexographic plate mounting applications. This 15 mil (0.381 mm) thick tape features advanced air release technology with a cross-hatch pattern that eliminates air bubbles during mounting, ensuring bubble-free installation and superior print quality. The tape combines light density foam construction with differential acrylate adhesive technology on both sides, providing exceptional performance for flexographic printing operations.
The plate-side adhesive is specifically designed to remove ink-contaminated photopolymer plates with minimal force and residue, reducing worker fatigue and plate damage. The sleeve/cylinder-side adhesive ensures secure bonding to print sleeves or steel cylinders while preventing edge lifting during high-speed press runs. The orange foam color indicates the light density rating, making it ideal for combinations of solids and process printing with halftone dots. With a 24-month shelf life and polyethylene foam backing, this tape maintains consistent caliper tolerance for tight print registration across multiple manufacturing lots.
This industrial-grade mounting tape is manufactured to exacting standards for use in narrow web presses printing tags and labels. The cross-hatched air release liner creates micro-channels that allow entrapped air to escape naturally, resulting in faster setup times, smoother surfaces, and cleaner print quality. Each roll measures 54 inches wide by 36 yards long, providing ample material for production runs. Designed for professional flexographic printers and print room operators, this tape delivers reliable performance and clean demounting for decades of proven reliability in printing plants worldwide.
