2. : Pigments added ratio: For white and fluorescent color 20%, other colors 10%
3. Chameleon, Thermochromic Glitter powders, mixing ratio 3-10%
4. Catalyst mixing ratio:2% slow dry XG-866B-1 and fast dry XG-866B-2 can mix together for use.
5. Thinner XG-128A adding ratio:0-20%
6. Heating Temp and time: Flash cure temp: 100℃- 120℃ for 6-10 seconds, Drying temp: 120℃- 130℃ for about 2 -3 minutes.

Silicone ink printing tips:

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

HD silicone     XG-866A/866AH        50G

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

Silicone 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 a 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 degrees for 10-20 seconds.

2. Dark Color effect silicone printing for 2 times :

HD silicone       XG-866A/866AH       50G

Black color pigment    XG-501           5G  10%

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

Silicone 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. Chameleon powder /glitter powder printing for 3 times

Round silicone    XG-866A-2Y   50G

Silicone thinner    XG-128AH    10G

Chameleon or glitter powder     5G  10%

Fast dry catalyst        XG-866B-2       1G  2%

4. Glossy silicone ink or matte silicone ink for top coating:

A, Glossy top coating Wet on wet printing for 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.

Silicone 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          XG-866M        50G

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

Silicone 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.
