HD Glossy Silicone and HD Matte Silicone Printing

silicone 3D glossy printing and HD matte silicone printing

Silicone High density printing :

Preparation:

1. Mesh&Squeegee: 120(48T) Mesh number ;65-75 degree Squeegee.
2. : Pigments added ratio:For white and fluorescent color 20%,other color 10%
3. Catalyst mixing ratio:2% slow dry XG-866B-1 and fast dry XG-866B-2 can mix together for using.
4. Thinner XG-128A adding ratio:0-20%    thinner is not necessary for hand printing
5. Heating Temp and time: Flash cure temp :100℃- 120℃ for 6-10 seconds ,Drying temp :120℃- 140℃ for about 2 -5 minutes.

Silicone ink printing tips:

1 HD silicone XG-866A/866AH for under coating  and high density printing for 2-8 times :

HD silicone     XG-866A/866AH        60G

Fast dry catalyst   XG-866B-2           1.2G  2%   If machine printing to use slow dry catalyst.

Thinner     XG-128AH  thinner is not necessary for hand printing,5-20% is enough for machine printing. Cure by temp of 120℃ 6-10 seconds.

If fabric with hairy or want to get more smooth effect kindly assist by heat press machine or iron after first time printing. After printing keep wet to heat press by temp 150-170 degree for 10-20 seconds.

2 Color effect silicone printing for 3-4 times : 

HD silicone       XG-866A/866AH        50G

White color pigment    XG-102          10G For white and fluorescent color 20%,other color 10%

Fast dry catalyst        XG-866B-2       1G  2%  If machine printing to use slow dry catalyst.

Thinner     XG-128AH  thinner is not necessary for hand printing,5-10% is enough for machine printing. Cure by temp of 120℃ 6-10 seconds.

3 Glossy silicone ink or matte silicone ink for top coating:

A, Glossy top coating for 1-2 times:

Glossy silicone ink XG-399-3 50G

Fast dry catalyst  XG-866B-2      1G  2%  It will be better to use slow dry catalyst XG-866B-1 and fast dry half and half. If for machine printing to use slow dry catalyst.

Thinner     XG-128AH  thinner is not necessary for hand printing,5-10% is enough for machine printing. Cure by temp of 100-110℃ 10-25 seconds  Have to get silicone bubbles out first ,try to use code wind to support and it will be better to use low temp by longer heating time. To avoid

B, Matte top coating for 1 time:

Matte silicone ink XG-866M 50G

Fast dry catalyst        XG-866B-2       1G  2%  If machine printing to use slow dry catalyst.

Thinner     XG-128AH  thinner is not necessary for hand printing,5-10% is enough for machine printing. Cure by temp of 120℃ 6-10 seconds.

After printing finish, to heat by 120℃- 140℃ for about 2 -5 minutes.
