TDS of XG Silicone for Tatami Fabric Patches Screen 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% 
4. Thinner XG-128A adding ratio:0-20%    

6.Heating Temp and time: Flash cure temp :100℃- 120℃ for 6-10 seconds ,after printing crossing linker XG- 360Z-3X have to to bake 10-20 minutes ,due to Tatami fabric can not stand high temp ,better to us low temp of 60℃-70℃ .

Printing tips:

1 Printing ink for under printing for 2 layers

Printing ink         SND-110A      50G

Ink fixer            SND-110B       5G  10%  

Cure by temp of 60 degree to make sure ink 100% dry .

2 Crossing linker for mid layer print two layers:

Silicone crossing linker       XG-360Z-3X       50G

Silicone catalyst              XG-866B-2        2.5G  5%  

Heat by temp of 100℃ 10-20 seconds to make sure ink 100% dry .

3 HD silicone for high density printing 3-6 layers or more layers   :

HD silicone        XG-866AH        60G

Fast dry catalyst    XG-866B-2       1.8G  2%   If machine printing to use slow dry catalyst.

Silicone thinner     XG-128AH       6-12 G  10-20%

 Cure by temp of 110℃ 6-10 seconds.

4 Color effect silicone printing for 3-4 times : 

HD silicone             XG-866AH        60G

Black color pigment     XG-601          6G For white and fluorescent color 20%,other color 10%

Fast dry catalyst        XG-866B-2       1.8G  2%  If machine printing to use slow dry catalyst.

Silicone thinner       XG-128AH         6-12 G  10-20% 

Flash by temp of 110℃ 6-10 seconds.

5 Glossy silicone ink or matte silicone ink for top coating if needed.

A, Glossy top coating for 1-2 times:

Glossy silicone ink   XG-399-3  50G

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

Flash by temp of 100-110℃ 10-25 seconds  

B, Matte top coating for 1 layer

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         0-6 G  0-10% 

If need smooth and soft matte effect then better to print glossy silicone ink to mix with black silicone pigment for one layer or wet on wet two layers then to print matte silicone ink 1 layer.

Cure by temp of 120℃ 6-10 seconds.

After printing , to bake by 60℃-70℃ for at least10- 20 minutes.
