Preparation:
- Mesh & Squeegee: 120(48T) Mesh number; 65-75 degree Squeegee.
- Pigments added ratio: For white and fluorescent colors 20%, other colors 10%.
- Catalyst mixing ratio:10% slow dry XG-MB-1 Mid dry XG-ZB-1.
- Silicone thinner XG-128A adding ratio:0-20%.
- Heating Temp and time: cure temp: 60℃~100℃, dry by room temp.
Silicone ink printing tips:
1.Elastic silicone ink clear printing for 4-6 times:
Elastic Silicone XG-130A 50G 50%
Elastic Silicone XG-130B 50G 50%
Silicone thinner XG-128AH 10G 10%
Cure by 60℃~100℃, or by room temp. If need fast dry then can mix with catalyst XG-866B-2 1-2%
2.Color effect silicone printing 3-4 times:
Elastic Silicone XG-130A 50G 50%
Elastic Silicone XG-130B 50G 50%
Silicone pigments XG-501 10G 10%
Silicone thinner XG-128AH 10G 10%
Cure by 60℃~100℃, or by room temp. If need fast dry then can mix with catalyst XG-866B-2 1-2%.
3A.Matte silicone ink for top coating printing 1-2 times.
Matte silicone top coating for 2 times wet on wet printing:
Matte silicone ink XG-136M-1 100G
Slow dry catalyst XG-MB-1 10G 10%
Silicone thinner XG-128AH 0-10G 0-10% Cure by 60℃~100℃, or by room temp.
3B:Glossy silicone ink for top coating 2 times:
Glossy silicone ink XG-399-2 100G
Slow dry catalyst XG-MB-1 10G 10%
Silicone thinner XG-128AH 0-10G 0-10%
Glossy top coating for 2 times wet on wet printing, to get silicone bubbles out first, try to use the cold wind to support and it will be better to use low temp by longer heating time to avoid bubbles problem.
Cure by 60℃~100℃, or by room temp. After printing, heat by 80℃ for about 2-3 minutes or do not heat, room temp to keep for over 24 hours.
