Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tapes with Easy Mount Adhesive E1815, E1820 E1715, E1720 E1515, E1520 E1015, E1020, E1040, E1060 E1315, E1320 E1915, E1915S, E1920, E1920S E1215, E1220, E1115, E1120 Product Description 3M™ Cushion-Mount™ Plus Plate Mounting Tapes with Easy Mount Adhesive are designed for mounting flexographic print plates to cylinders or sleeves. This family of foam mounting tapes provides excellent print quality for process, combination, and solid printing. Technical Data July, 2010 Features • Offers a complete range of foam densities providing excellent print quality from process to combination to solid printing.

  • Consistent caliper control allows the printer to use multiple foam densities on a print job to optimize print quality.
  • Use the 3M proprietary Easy Mount liner, creating micro-channels in both adhesive surfaces. The crosshatched pattern creates a continuous and permanent network of micro-channels in the adhesive, allowing air to escape from between the tape and cylinder/sleeve and between the tape and plate.
  • The adhesive on the linered side (plate side) of the tape is designed for mounting of photopolymer plates, excellent holding power on-press and clean plate removal when demounting.
  • The adhesive on the non-linered side (cylinder side) of the tape is designed for mounting to flexographic printing cylinders or sleeves, providing easy application at mounting and clean removability when demounting.
