- Valtris Santicizer® in Plastisol Inks
Plastisol inks are the most commonly used products in garment printing. They are easy to print and do not dry on the screen. Plastisol inks can be used on both light and dark garments, and can adhere to most textiles. Plastisol Inks will not dry, or cure, at normal temperatures, they must be cured with heat. Plastisol inks actually bond to the fiber in the garmet instead of coloring the fiber like a dye. They are touted for having great color consistency. Plasticizers are added to the plastisol ink to give it good prinitability, water wash, and to help control bleed through, as well as many other properties.
Benefits of using Valtris plasticizers:
- Improve flexibility and mechanical properties (tensile and elongation)
- Excellent permanence attributes.
- Excellent water wash capabilities.
- Good printability, high DYNE pen surface energy
- Low bleed through
- Increased gelation and cure time
