Technical Data
July, 2009
Product Description
3M™ Flexomount™ Solid Printing Tapes are double coated tapes designed for
mounting photopolymer and rubber printing plates to flexographic printing
cylinders or sleeve systems. The adhesive systems are specially formulated for
clean removability from both the plate and the print cylinder.
Flexomount tapes have a solid vinyl carrier which is designed for printing solids
and line work.

Medium Plate
Side Adhesion
There are four general considerations for selecting the right mounting tape: the
thickness of the tape, the type of printing plate, the adhesion properties and the type
of printing.
•
Tape Thickness:
3M™ Flexomount™ Solid Printing Tape products range in thickness in order to
meet undercut or pitch diameters that are common on flexographic printing presses.
Tapes are available for 10, 15 and 20 mil (0.25, 0.38 and 0.50 mm) applications.
•
Type of Printing Plate:
The adhesive systems on each tape have been developed for bonding to
photopolymer or rubber printing plates.
•
Adhesion Properties:
Flexomount solid printing tapes come in two different adhesion levels: standard
(gray) and repositionable (black).
3M™ Flexomount™ Tapes 411DL, 412DL and 447DL come with the standard
adhesive. These products have excellent adhesion to both rubber and photopolymer
plates. The high adhesion makes it a good choice for long runs and helps reduce the
tendency for plate edge lifting. 3M™ Flexomount™ Tapes 413DL and 414DL
come with a firmer adhesive which provides easier plate repositioning and higher
temperature and solvent resistance.
