FEATURES:
It is a two-component ink.
It has a glossy appearance, 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 rubber, pretreated polyethylene
and polypropylene, thermosetting resins, enamelled surfaces and metals.
It can also be utilised, getting good results, on polyurethans, polyamides, melanine
resines and epoxypowder coated surface.
RESISTANCE:
Excellent adherence on the surface.
Excellent resistance to a large number of organic solvents, chemical products,
to the mechanical action and to rubbing.
It has an excellent resistance to light with a 7 to 8 DIN solidity.
FLASH POINT
Higher than 48°C
PREPARATION:
Mix the ink with the PLH catalyst in a 20:1 ratio (20 parts ink and 1 part PLH).
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.and avoiding the “dripping”
of the same ink with lower print quality.
DRYING AND HARDENING
The drying time lasts between 10-15 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 14
standard colours colours plus 4 transparent colours in Euro scale for four-colour
and 9 PANTONE 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.
