Applications & Uses

Markets: Printing & Packaging
Applications: Printing & Packaging — Printing & Inks
Other Printing Applications
Compatible Substrates & Surfaces: Painted Surfaces
Processing: PROCESSING
Add 3% of PLH13 catalyst. Ink is ready to use but, if necessary, use the PLB thinner from 5 to 10%.

CAUTION!

Excessive dilution generates a loss of the covering power, smudges and an imperfect detachment of the ink from the pad. An insufficient dilution causes problems of drawing the ink from the cliché, printing repeatability and dripping of the ink with a consequent decline of the printing quality. The catalyzed ink must be consumed within 6-8 hours or afterwards it gradually loses its mechanical-chemical resistance and its ability to adhere to the support.

DRYING AND HARDENING

The PLT13 ink dries and polymerizes only if inserted in the oven at temperatures of 160°C for about 3-5 minutes or 130°C for about 6-7 minutes.

Packaging & Availability

Colour Range: Given the specific nature of the ink, the colors available are different from the standard ones. Please require COMEC ITALIA the availability of each color.

Storage & Handling

Preservation: Lifetime of about 2 years (1 year if metallic).

Conditions for preservation: the package must be sealed tight and put in a dry and cool space. PLT13 ink series storage must not exceed 30 degrees. If exposed for a long time at temperatures in excess, increase of viscosity or gelation problems may occur.
