Applications & Uses
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Coverage
1,000-1,200 sq/ft. per gallon depending on ink deposit
- Mixing
Use conversion chart for proper ratios. When URE03 catalyst is not in use, metal container should be tightly closed and kept in a cool, dry place.
- Pot Life
After mixing the 2 components, the average pot life is about 2 hours at normal room temperature (72 F).
Properties
- Stencil
Use a lacquer proof or direct emulsion film, photographic or water-soluble hand-cut stencil.
- Screen
200 to 390 mesh recommended for most applications. 150 to 200 mesh for textiles.
- Additives
URE94 Thinner, URE95 Retarder and URE03 Catalyst
- Cleaner
URE96 Wash-Up
Technical Details & Test Data
- Cure Parameters-Air Dry
When combined with catalyst, URE will air dry at room temperature (72°F) in 8 to 12 hours. Proper air flow through racks will maximize air drying.
- Cure Parameters-Baking
Baking temperatures may vary depending on ink deposit, placement of parts in the oven and equipment. Pretests are recommended prior to production run.
- 250°F for 20 minutes
- 275°F for 12 minutes
- 300°F for 8 minutes
- 350°F for 6.5 minutes
- 400°F for 3 minutes
- 450°F for 2 minutes
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Size
- 1 and 5 Gallon Pails
- 30 or 50 Gallon Drums
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 6 Months
- Storage Conditions
Ink should be stored in a metal can at room temperature (75°F). Inks previously used for printing runs should be stored in a separate container to avoid cross contamination. Ink has a minimum shelf life of 6 months from date of manufacture if the above guidelines are followed and there has been nothing added to the ink.
