FEATURES:
It is a two-component ink.
It has a glossy 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 is particularly indicated for the printing on glass, ferrous and nonferrous
metals It can also be utilised, getting good results, on thermosetting materials.
RESISTANCE:
Excellent resistance to a large number of organic solvents and chemical products.
In order to increase its resistance to water we recommed you dry the ink by using
a oven at a temperature of about 140°C for 30-60 minutes.
It has a very good resistance to light with a 7 to 8 DIN solidity.
FLASH POINT
Higher than 48°C
PREPARATION:
Mix the ink with the PLHG catalyst in a 20:1 ratio (20 parts ink and 1 part PLHG).
CAUTION!
The catalyzed ink must be consumed within 6-8 hours or afterwards it gradually
loses its mechanical-chemical resistance and its ability to adhere to the support.
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.
Use on glass Preheat the surface where one desires to print, entirely eliminating
the residual humidity to avoid adhesion problems, cracks or swelling of ink.
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.
DRYING AND HARDENING
The drying time lasts between 10 and 15 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 can be installed on the piece feeding systems (e.g. rotary tables, conveyors,
etc.).
The ink is completely hardened after 3-5 days.
COLOUR RANGE:
Consult the COMEC colour chart of glossy 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:
special sample colours.
metallic gold and silver shades ready
for use.
ADDITIVES:
PLA thinner.
PLD retardant.
PPLD retardant paste.
PLHG catalyst.
OP opacifier.
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 PLHG 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.
