Technical Data Sheet
FEATURES
Despite being composed of Biomass-related materials, these products effectively retain impressive softness, smoothness, non-tackiness on their print surface, elasticity, and various fastness qualities, mirroring Matsui’s other established products.
SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
- Please, conduct pre-test to determine its applicability to the final product.
- Both products have thixotropic behavior, so mix well before use.
- Fixer (cross linking agent) is a must. Adding Fixer L, the prepared paste needs to be used up within 6 hours. Adding Fixer WF-N, the paste can be stored afterwards, but a baking process is required at the temperature over 150°C.
- When screen clogging occurs, add “Retardant MG” into the printing paste.
- When the viscosity needs to be increased, add “Emacol R-600” at 0.1 – 0.5% into the printing paste.
- When the viscosity needs to be reduced, add “RV Additive” at 0.3 – 2.0%. g. Keep sealed after each use to avoid dry and store in cool and dark place.
