FLEXSOFT - UR Series Thick Foam Mounting Tape
AGI's FlexSoft brand UR foam tape is a high-performance, medium-to-high density elastomeric cushion mounting tape. UR tapes are specifically developed for use with polymer printing plates of all thickness ranges or types. UR cushions feature a durable, long life in press foam construction. Our recently developed EZ mount adhesion system provides prepress operations with a simple-to-mount, solvent-resistant tape. Designed for secure hold down and clean release, UR tapes also allow the printer to achieve maximum ink coverage on solid or reverse type areas, while minimizing the occurrence of dot gain on screens in combination-type printing.
 

FLEXSTIK- Hard Vinyl Stickyback Tapes
AGI's FlexStik brand hard vinyl mounting tapes are long proven, industry standard mounting products for both rubber and photopolymer printing plates. These tapes feature a high-adhesion, soft-rubber adhesive system coated on a hard vinyl carrier. Hard tapes find application in harsh printing environments where temperature or long run durability are required. Hard tapes are ideal for use in printing solid or fine line graphics. FlexStik tapes provide for maximum ink coverage in block solid replication. Best suited for printing poly type films or simple graphic reproduction.
 

FLEXSTIK - Rotary Letterpress Plate Mounting Tapes
AGI's rotary letterpress tapes are double-sided, highly stable PVC tapes. They are engineered using a tough, durable UPVC film coated with a rubber adhesive system. This system allows for the mounting of thin photopolymer plates on the small cylinders associated with long-run, high-quality graphics printing. RLT tapes firmly lock polymer plates onto letterpress cylinders for the duration of the print run, and remove cleanly to save plates for future use. RLT tapes are manufactured in a variety of thicknesses for proper undercut tape selection in this process. Liner choices are also varied to ensure simple, bubble-free application to letterpress cylinders.
 

FLEXSTIK - Thin Tapes
AGI offers a variety of thin tapes for flexographic plate mounting applications. These tapes find application in the mounting of corrugated printing plates onto various thicknesses; 0.010" to .030" PVC or polyester substrates. Plates are typically flat mounted to these AGI double-coated tapes. Upon application, the liner is removed and the plate is ready for attachment to PVC mounting materials, which carry thick polymer printing plates into a flexo-corrugated printing station. AGI thin tapes are also suitable for use in plate build-up or in press-low spot correction. These products are available with a variety of thickness and liner types for customer application. The adhesive types are typically rubber or acrylic, depending on the level of adhesion required in the final application.
 

FLEXSTIK - Cloth Tapes
FS-45 Double Coated cloth tape with a poly-coated lay-flat paper liner. This product is coated with a secure bond natural rubber adhesive specifically engineered for mounting rubber or photopolymer type plates. Flextape FS-45 is highly resistant to plate lift where longer printing speeds are present. FlexStik cloth tape is highly conformable and finds application in the mounting of corrugated plates also in bonding of offset printing blankets.
