USES: For interior use, EP Series offers excellent adhesion & hardness for metal and glass applications. This high gloss formulation is also recommended for general OEM use, nameplates, equipment panels and decorative glass. Superior flexibility & chemical resistance. May be reduced for reverse roller coating, coil coating & spraying.
FINISH: Dries to a high gloss finish.
COVERAGE: Averages about 1200-1500 sq. ft. per gallon.
OPACITY:
DRYING TIME: EP Series dries by chemical cross-linking at specific temperatures. The printed surface will "dry to touch" by solvent evaporation, but curing will not be achieved without baking at the required temperature for a set time. e.g. 15 minutes at 300°F, 8 minutes 350°F, 4 minutes at 400°F. Minimum temperature 325°F. Undercuring will adversely effect adhesion, flexibility and chemical resistance.
SCREEN FABRIC: Use 260 to 355 monofilament.
SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Direct and indirect photostencils, or water soluble, knife-cut stencils are suitable.
MODIFIERS: Thin with EP-360. Under hot and dry conditions, use EP-321.(5-10%). EP-320. (1-2%)
SPECIAL PRIMERS & TOP COATS: EP-301 Topcoat: For use over colors. Enhances chemical and abrasion resistance; approved for use in appliances. EP-304 Topcoat: For use over white. Improves outdoor performance. EP-305 Primer: For formed parts, improves flexibility of subsequent colors.
WASHUP: Use SYS-1925, or biodegradable washes 2500 or 2510 screen wash gel.
