Lohmann Plate Mounting Tape with PVC Film for Flexographic Printing

Lohmann's plate mounting tapes are widely used in the flexographic printing industry due to their high-quality construction and reliable performance. These tapes typically feature a PVC film backing and are designed to securely mount printing plates onto cylinders or sleeves.

Key Features of Lohmann Plate Mounting Tape

1. *PVC Film Backing:*
   - *Durability:* The PVC film provides excellent durability and stability, essential for maintaining the integrity of the printing process.
   - *Flexibility:* Offers sufficient flexibility to accommodate the cylinder’s or sleeve’s surface curvature.

2. *Strong Adhesion:*
   - *Secure Bond:* Ensures a strong and consistent bond between the printing plate and the cylinder or sleeve.
   - *Easy Application and Removal:* Designed for easy application and removal without leaving residue or damaging the plate.

3. *Cushioning Properties:*
   - *Vibration Dampening:* Helps reduce vibrations and improve print quality by providing a cushioning effect.

4. *Chemical Resistance:*
   - *Solvent Resistance:* Resists various printing solvents, ensuring longevity and performance stability.

Application Process

1. *Surface Preparation:*
   - *Clean the Cylinder/Sleeve:* Use a suitable cleaning agent (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) to remove any dust, oil, or contaminants from the cylinder or sleeve surface.

2. *Tape Application:*
   - *Measure and Cut:* Measure and cut the tape to the required length, ensuring it covers the entire area where the plate will be mounted.
   - *Apply Tape:* Apply the tape to the cylinder or sleeve, starting from one edge and working towards the other. Use a squeegee or roller to press the tape down and eliminate any air bubbles.
   - *Overlap Avoidance:* Ensure there are no overlaps or gaps in the tape application to maintain a smooth surface.

3. *Plate Mounting:*
   - *Remove Liner:* Carefully peel off the protective liner from the tape.
   - *Align Plate:* Align the printing plate with the cylinder or sleeve and press it onto the tape, starting from one edge and gradually pressing down to the other edge.
   - *Firm Pressure:* Use a roller or squeegee to apply firm and even pressure across the plate, ensuring it is securely bonded to the tape.

4. *Final Checks:*
   - *Check for Bubbles:* Ensure there are no air bubbles or wrinkles under the plate.
   - *Secure Edges:* Pay special attention to the edges of the plate, making sure they are firmly adhered.

Advantages

- *Improved Print Quality:* The cushioning properties help in reducing vibrations, leading to higher print quality.
- *Easy Handling:* The tape's design allows for easy application and removal, facilitating quick plate changes and reducing downtime.
- *Chemical Resistance:* Resistant to solvents and chemicals used in the printing process, ensuring the tape's longevity.

Safety Considerations

- *Ventilation:* Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling any fumes from the adhesive.
- *Skin Protection:* Avoid prolonged skin contact with the adhesive. Wear gloves if necessary and wash hands thoroughly after handling the tape.

By following these guidelines, Lohmann plate mounting tape with PVC film can be effectively used to achieve high-quality and efficient plate mounting in flexographic printing applications.
