FEATURES: It is a single-component ink that can also be used with two components.
It has a matt appearance and an excellent covering power and is quick drying.
Non-toxic ink (NT) in compliance with the EN 71/part 3 European standard.
PRINTING SUPPORT:
It can be utilised for the printing on polyethylene and polypropylene (pre-treated),
polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, elastic and stiff PVC
RESISTANCE:
It has a very good resistance to alcohol, petrol and perspiration on hand.
FLASH POINT
Higher than 43°C
PREPARATION:
Mix and strongly dilute the ink by using the PLA thinner in the measure of max.
10-20%.
When printing fine details or screened images (e.g. 80/ 120 lines per cm) in warm
environments, we recommend you add the PLD retardant in a minimum percentage.
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.
To increase the mechanical and chemical resistance or adherence to the support,
the ink can be used as a dualcomponent by adding the special PLH catalyst in a
10:1 ratio (10 parts ink and 1 part catalyst).
CAUTION!
The ink used as a dual component must be consumed within 8-10 hours or afterwards
it gradually loses its mechanical-chemical resistance and its ability to adhere
to the support.
DRYING AND HARDENING
The drying time lasts between 1 and 2 minutes at an ambient temperature of about
20°C.
If you would like it to dry in only a few seconds, you can use hot air circulation
ovens (60-80 b °C) or high temperature spot devices (air or infrared rays)
that canbe installed on the piece feeding systems (e.g. rotary tables, conveyors,
etc.).
The ink is completely hardened after 5 days.
COLOUR RANGE:
Consult the COMEC colour chart of matt hues that includes a selection of 24 standard
colours plus 3 threecolour shades.
All of the colour shades can be mixed with each other.
Upon request:
PRESERVATION:
Lifetime of about 2 years.
Conditions for preservation: the package must be sealed tight and put in a dry
and cool environment.
ATTENTION
The PLH catalyst must be preserved with the package sealed tight and put in a
dry and cool environment. IT IS NOT MOISTURE-PROOF. In the event it should become
thick, it can no longer be used.
