HD Glossy Silicone Glitter& Chameleon Powder Silicone Printing

Silicone High-density silicone mixing with glitter& chameleon powder printing :

Preparation:

1. Mesh&Squeegee: 100-120(40-48T) Mesh number; 65-75 degree Squeegee.
2. : Pigments added ratio: For white and fluorescent color 20%, another color 10%
3. Catalyst mixing ratio:2% slow dry XG-866B-1 and fast dry XG-866B-2 can mix together for use.
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 or round silicone XG-866A-2Y for undercoating and high-density printing for 2-8 times :

HD silicone     XG-866A/866AH        60G (here also can use Round silicone XG-866A-2Y )

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

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

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

• Color effect silicone printing for 3-4 times : 

HD silicone       XG-866A/866AH        50G (here also can use Round silicone XG-866A-2Y )

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

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

Thinner XG-128AH thinner is not necessary, 0-10% is enough for machine printing. Cure by the temp of 120℃ 6-10 seconds.

3.Round silicone mix with glitter or chameleon powder printing for 2-3 times

Round  silicone       XG-866A-2Y        50G (here also can use Round silicone XG-866A-2Y )

Glitter or chameleon powder              5G  10%

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

Thinner     XG-128AH                     5G  10%

For some glitter and chameleon effect no need print color effect first, so this step can leave it.

4.Glossy silicone ink or matte silicone ink for 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 a slow dry catalyst.

Thinner XG-128AH thinner is not necessary for hand printing,5-10% is enough for machine printing. Cure by the temp of 100-110℃ 10-25 seconds Has 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.

The Key point for glossy printing

1. The angel between squeegee & table 60-70 degree, if manual printing about 45 degree
2. Keep a distance between printing squeegee & screen
3. Less pressure print very soft and slowly try to get more ink pass through the mesh to get a round glossy effect.

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.
