 Preparation

• Ready-to-use ink.
• Homogenize well before using it.
• The possible addition of Texiplast Additivo 33 allows to increase the ink fluidity and glossy level and the elasticity of the printings.
• The possible addition of Texiplast Additivo 554 allows to reduce ink viscosity.

Application

• For the best color opacity and brightness, during printing, it is recommended to adjust the out of contact and the pressure of the squeegee at their best, in order to obtain an ink film that can remain onto the surface of the substrate.
• The opacity is influenced by the kind of drawing, the th/cm screen number, the squeegee, the pressure and the printing speed.

 Curing

• Curing must take place at 150°C – 160°C for 3 minutes.
• Texiplast are thermoplastic inks: only an appropriate curing is able to allow the complete ink fusion, therefore the achievement of the required final characteristics.

 Special Instructions

• Always test the printing characteristics, before starting production.
• Always check curing conditions. The addition of additives could require higher temperature or longer time.
• Plastisol inks do not resist dry cleaning, bleaching and ironing.

 Equipment

Indicated for using onto automatic, semi-automatic and manual machines.
