Product Description

Two-pack solvent inks are specially formulated for printing on treated polyethylene and polypropylene plastics. When used with proper surface treatment, these inks provide superior bonding and long-lasting durability. This type of ink requires the mixing of two components--a base ink and a catalyst--to activate the curing process and ensure optimal performance.

Feature

  • Bonds excellently on challenging treated substrates
  • Provides long-lasting prints
  • Produces vibrant and detailed prints
  • Smooth, consistent print output
  • Suitable for long-term and large production runs
  • Can be used for manual and automated printing

Application and Material Compatibility

Treated polyurethane and polypropylene type of plastics. PET Bottles.

  • Shampoo container
  • Thick plastic materials
  • Gallon containers
  • Plastic bottles/materials
  • Shot glass, mugs
  • Aluminum metals
  • Stainless metals

Additives/Auxiliary

Two Pack Reducer
Functions as a diluting agent when the ink becomes thick or viscous and serves as a cleaning agent for the screen throughout the production process.

Certain plastic materials may require the use of a Treating Agent to enhance ink adhesion. Applied as a thin layer on the substrate or print area before printing, the treating agent prepares the surface, improving the Two-Pack Ink's ability to bond effectively with the material.

Two Pack Catalyst
Added to enhance the adhesion of two-pack ink to the substrate or material if the ink fails to bond effectively.

Use the ink within 24 hours after adding the Nylon Catalyst to the mixture.

Screen Mesh and Squeegee

150T – 420T, monofilament

  • A higher mesh count is recommended for smaller prints; the finer the details, the higher the mesh count should be. Ensure proper tension and stretch to achieve sharper, more precise print results.

Squeegee

Less Ink Deposit

  • Hard (80-90 Durometer)
  • Square (Straight edge)

Recommended Curing Parameters

Drying Time: 24 hours

Method: Air dry with proper ventilation

Environment: 20°C - 30°C (68°F - 86°F)

  • Relative Humidity: 40% - 60%

Clean-Up

Apply the solvent cleaner to a clean cloth or wipe and then gently wipe the screen and other tools used to dissolve and remove ink residues. Repeat this process until the materials used are clean.

Product Safety, Handling and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep containers tightly shut to prevent evaporation and contamination.

General Considerations

During stencil art exposure, it is best to use solvent-resistant stencil emulsion, Photo Flash SRK.

Provide at least 1mm of off-contact for the frame to the substrate or material to achieve a good quality print. Adjust off-contact if necessary.

Allow a curing period of 24 hours for the ink to properly adhere to the substrate or material before conducting any scratch or rub tests to evaluate quality and adhesion.
