Application Fields

Two component screen printing ink for the print onto glass, lacquered surfaces, metal, thermosets, polyamide, polycarbonate, pretreated polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), polyurethane and rigid PVC. 

Substrates may differ in their chemical structure or method of manufacture. A test for suitability must always be carried out before printing. Antistatic, mould release agents and slip additives may have negative effects on adhesion, and should be detected and removed prior to printing. 

Characteristics　

This high glossy, physically drying and chemical reactive two component screen printing ink exhibits good mechanical and chemical resistance, as well as a good flexibility. The colour shades of 110GK are light fast, weather resistant and guarantee high opacity. A special product test is recommended prior to production. The used raw materials also comply with the limits of metal elements stipulated by the actual EEC regulation EN 71-3 (Safety of Toys), part 3 (Migration of Certain Elements).

Processing Instructions　

Pre-treatment of polyolefins (PE/PP) must be performed by Flame Treatment or CORONA-discharge in order to insure the adhesion of the screen printing ink to the substrate. In case of PE, surface tension needs to be at least 42 mN/m (Dynes/cm), in case of PP at least 52 mN/m (Dynes/cm).

Curing Conditionss

The series of 110GK inks are physically drying through the evaporation of solvent within 15 min. at 20°C (grip dry). This physical drying will be accelerated at 70 – 80°C during 2 – 3 minutes. While multi-colour printing we recommend an intermediate drying process by infrared lamps or hot air blower.
