Formulated to prevent dye migration on nasty 100% polyester fabrics when other products have failed. Defender can be used either as an underbase for direct printing or as a backer for cold peel transfers.
USES: For use on cottons, cotton/polyester blends, and 100%l polyester and can be used on cold peel transfers, and on Spandex and Lycra.
FINISH: Cures to a soft-hand finish.
OPACITY: Excellent opacity.
DRYING TIME: Plastisol inks will not air dry. They must be heat cured. SportPro inks will fully cure and withstand repeated washings when the entire ink deposit reaches from 310°F for 30 seconds Curing can be accomplished with the use of a conveyor dryer, flash curing unit, or simple infrared heater.
TRANSFERS: Excalibur SportPro Defender may be used to back inks in the production of cold peel transfers when used in conjunction with Excalibur 846 Printable Adhesive and C57 Hot Melt Powder to promote best adhesion to substrate.
SCREEN FABRIC: Use 83-110 monofilament polyester depending on the substrate for direct prints, 80-110 mesh for transfers.
SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Use water soluble hand-cut, photo screens and blockouts with this ink or use other suitable products.
MODIFIERS: Because plastisol inks are thixotropic and can body up during storage always stir ink thoroughly prior to print or adding reducers. If necessary Excalibur 1501 Curable Reducer may be added to increase printability of ink and help clean ink from the screen. CAUTION: Adding too much Excalibur 1501 Curable Reducer will reduce opacity and reduce bleed resistance of Excalibur 1596 SportPro Defender. This is a low-bleed reducer. Using 501PF or 502PF reducers can excalate dye migration.
WASHUP: T-125 mineral spirits, or biodegradable washes SYS-2500, SYS-2550 or SYS-2510 screen wash gel.
