3M Cushion-Mount Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020 with easy mount adhesive is designed for mounting flexographic print plates to cylinders or sleeves. This white foam mounting tape provides high quality standard combination print.

  • 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) double coated foam tape has the air release feature with a plate side adhesive technology designed to remove with less force from flexographic print plates
  • Has a standard medium density foam that is ideal for printing combinations of solids and process with halftone dots
  • White foam color indicates the standard, medium density foam
  • Securely bonds the flexographic photopolymer plate to the print sleeve or steel cylinder to prevent plate edge lifting during printing
  • Print plates mounted on E1020 will have no air bubbles under the plate due to the air release feature designed into the tape
  • Grooves in the adhesive are created by a cross-hatch pattern from the release liner

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020 used for?

    3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020 is designed to attach flexographic print plates to cylinders or sleeves, which prints a variety of packaging material including corrugated board.

  2. Does the tape come in different sizes and colors?

    Yes! The 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020 comes in multiple sizes ranging from 18 inches by 25 yards up to as large as 54 inches by 100 yards and it's suitable for most printing applications. It also comes with a white foam layer and a transparent film liner for easy assembly.

  3. Why should I choose the cushion-mount plus plate mounting tape instead of other similar products on the market?

    Great question! Unlike other conventional tapes, our cushion-mount plus has unique features such like an exclusive high bonding strength adhesive formula that provides accurate register while reducing plate edge lifting leading to fewer press stops. Additionally, it enhances print quality through shock absorption properties that help reduce distortion during printing maximizing performance at high speeds.

Bubble Free Flexographic Plate Mounting

3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tape E1020 is a white foam tape that provides high quality combination print. This is the standard tape for combination print. It has the air release feature that allows for bubble free mounting. This flexographic plate mounting tape has excellent resistance to lifting on press allowing for easy and clean plate removal.

Recommended Applications
  • Mounting photopolymer plates to flexographic printing cylinders and sleeves
  • Used in combination, process and solid printing processes
  • 3M sticky back tapes are designed for wide-web presses to print film or paper for flexible packaging industry

3M flexographic plate mounting tapes are highly engineered to provide very tight caliper tolerance to allow printers to use tape from different manufacturing lots and keep tight print registration. The compressible foam will withstand long and high speed print runs.

This cushion tape is manufactured for 20 mil applications. It is constructed with engineered acrylic adhesives. The adhesive on the linered (plate) side of the tape is designed for mounting of photopolymer plates. The adhesive on the non-linered (sleeve/cylinder) side is designed for mounting to flexographic printing cylinders or sleeves, providing easy application at mounting and clean removal when demounting.

On Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment

3M air release liners have a crosshatched pattern, unlike other mounting tapes that use a pebbled or flat release liner. The embossed crosshatched pattern imprints unique micro-channels into the easy mount adhesive that allows entrapped air to escape. Air bubbles disappear from between the tape and plate, and between the tape and sleeve or cylinder for virtually bubble-free mounting. Setup is faster with smoother surfaces for cleaner print quality and higher productivity. The adhesive maintains tight contact with reduced edge lifting.
