    TECHNICAL DATA SHEET PLT7 INK

     

     

    APPLICATIONS
    It is particularly indicated for the printing on the following materials: stainless steel, aluminum, carbon, iron, metal in general, nylon, treated PETG, treated polyacetal, polyamide, polycarbonate, treated polyester, polymethacrylate, polyurethane, aminoplast resins, epoxy resins, phenolic resins, painted surfaces, glass.

     

    FEATURES
    Epoxy – polyester based ink.

    It is a two-component ink. It has a glossy appearance and is quick-drying. Its main feature is the high mechanical and chemical resistance.

    Non-toxic ink (NT) conforms to European regulations EN 71/part 3 and European Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS 2). Excellent resistance to alcohol, gasoline, alkali, diluted acids, diesel, brake fluid.

    It has a very good abrasion resistance.

    It has a very good resistance to light with a 6 to 8 DIN solidity.

     

     

    PROCESSING
    Mix the ink with the PLH catalyst in a 3:1 ratio (3 parts ink and 1 part catalyst).

    Mix and strongly dilute the ink by using the PLA thinner in the measure of max. 10-20%.

    When printing fine details or screened images (e.g. 80/120 lines per cm2) in warm environments, we recommend you add the PLD retardant in a minimum percentage.
    CAUTION!

    The catalyzed ink must be consumed within 6-7 hours or afterwards it gradually loses its mechanical-chemical resistance and its ability to adhere to the support.

    Excessive dilution generates a loss of the covering power, smudges and an imperfect detachment of the ink from the pad. An insufficient dilution causes problems of drawing the ink from the cliché, printing repeatability and dripping of the ink with a consequent decline of the printing quality.
     

     

    DRYING AND HARDENING
    The drying time lasts 2 minutes at an ambient temperature of about 20 °C.

    If you would like it to dry in only a few time, you can use hot air circulation ovens (60-80 °C) or high temperature spot devices (air or infrared rays) that can be installed on the piece feeding systems (e.g. rotary tables, conveyors, etc.).

    The ink is completely hardened after 6-7 days.
