FEATURES:
It is a two-component ink.
It has a glossy appearance and is quick drying.
Its main feature is the high mechanical and chemical resistance.
Non-toxic ink (NT) in compliance with the EN 71/part 3 European standard.
PRINTING SUPPORT:
It is particularly indicated for the printing on the following materials: thermosetting
resins, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyesters, polymethyl methacrylates, polystyrene,
ABS, polyurethanes and stiff PVC.
It can also be utilised, getting good results, on glass, metal, enamelled surfaces
and polyethylenepolypropylene (pre-treated)
RESISTANCE:
Excellent resistance to a large number of organic solvents, chemical products
and diluted acids.
It has a very good abrasion resistance.
FLASH POINT
Higher than 43°C
PREPARATION:
Mix the ink with the PLH catalyst in a 3:1 ratio (3 parts ink and 1 part catalyst)
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.
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 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 can be installed on the piece feeding systems (e.g. rotary tables, conveyors,
etc.).
The ink is completely hardened after 4-5 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:
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.
