Colors |
Standard: Black and White |
|
Shelf Life: |
Six to twelve months. |
|
Mixing: |
For all colors except silver, mix two parts ink resin to one part ink catalyst by weight. For Silver, mix 2.4 parts ink resin to one part ink catalyst by weight. To achieve best results, allow an induction period of 30 minutes after mixing before using. |
|
Cure Cycle: |
1. Imprints will cure at room temperature. At room temperature, imprints will become tack free in 1-2 hours; may be handled in 6-8 hours, and require 4-7 days to develop full solvent resistance. 2. Ink may be force cured with heat to accelerate drying times: |
|
250°
F (121° C): 30 min. |
|
|
Pot Life: |
Under normal conditions, four to five hours after mixing. Higher than normal room temperatures will shorten the pot life. |
|
Thinner: |
Use only 2PE-T4 thinner/reducer formulated specifically for this ink. Others will adversely affect performance of this ink. Use a minimum amount to achieve desired consistency, only after the recommended induction period. |
|
Cleaner: |
Care should be used to assure compatibility with marking equipment. The following cleaners are commonly used. 1. 99% isopropyl
alcohol |
