– 43-80 threads/cm to 77-55 for shades
– 34-100 threads/cm to 43-80 for white OP
– 62-64 threads/cm to 77-55 for white OP if used as an undercoat
Emulsions: 19T, 200T or 400ST TIFLEX
Squeegees: 65 shore for white, 75-80 shore for shades

Preparation:
Ready to use and miscible colors

– Mixing white is used for the preparation of special shades
Printing:
In case of machine downtime, please leave the screen thickly covered
Drying:
Either >
– in forced air tunnel or IR tunnel with hot air circulation – 3 min at 160°C
– in forced air tunnel or IR tunnel with hot air circulation – 2 min at 160°C with the addition of catalyst (5%)
– cold dry at temperature with the addition of catalyst (5%)
You must wait 15 days to obtain the optimal wash resistance
OP inks must be dried in tunnel
Additives:
– To dry at temperature or to reduce tunnel time: add 5% of 0564 catalyst. Use within 8 hours after mixing, at temperatures below 25°C ; you can renew the operation without altering the ink
– To improve open time by reducing the viscosity: add 2 to 5% of retardant thinner
– To improve open time while maintening the viscosity constant: add 2 to 5% of retardant gel
– To increase ink deposit: add 0.2 to 0.5% of thickener
Cleaning: water
Storage: 1 year in a dry and well-ventilated room, between 15 and 35°C
