SUBSTRATES

Most plastics, including: Acrylics such as Plexiglass and Lucite; rigid,  semi-rigid and flexible vinyls, especially fleet marking films by 3M, Avery and Flexcon, foamed vinyl sheets such as Sintra, Trovicel, etc. Other plastics: styrene, top-coated or otherwise print treated polyester, polycarbonates such as Lexan. Other substrates: many coated and uncoated metals, glass, Foam Boards, coated and uncoated paper and wood.

DRYING

PA inks dry through solvent evaporation. Fresh air volume is more of a factor in dry time then temperature. Force Dry: for high volume air dryer (3000-5000CFM, equipped with air knifes) at 100-120F: 30-60 seconds. Air Dry: 15-45 minutes depending on air circulation and temperature. 

 

STENCILS

CudnerCote or other direct method emulsions, capillary films.

 

SCREEN MESH

160 to 300 Monofilament.

 

SQUEEGES

All types, 60 to 80 durometer.

 

MODIFIERS

REDUCER: use PA-601 to achieve desired viscosity. Mixing colors should be used without thinning.

RETARDER: use PA-621 to slow in-screen drying. Excess use of PA-621 will inhibit curing of the printed film.

FLOW-PROMOTER: To improve ink flow out, use PA-620C Concentrate Flow Promoter or PA-620. PA-620C is recommended especially for PA mixing colors. Use no more than 2 oz. per Gallon! Over use of this highly concentrated additive will create bubbling and adversely affect adhesion. 

 

COVERAGE

Approximately 1200 Sq. Ft./Gallon.
