Description:

PLASTIPUFF is a plastisol puff ink formulated to cure and expand rapidly. PLASTIPUFF also produces an exceptionally strong, long-lasting ink film with a high uniform finish and excellent abrasion resistance. The inks should be used on T-shirts, sweatshirts and other woven cotton and cotton/polyester garments.

SPECIFICATIONS:

USES: For use on cottons, cotton/polyester blends.

FINISH: Cures to an expanded, mate finish.

OPACITY: Excellent. When first printed, the print may not look as opaque as it will after it has been cured.

CURING: PLASTIPUFF Inks will expand to a durable finish if allowed to reach 310°F (155°C). Flash curing multi-color prints at lower temperatures is permissible provided all colors reach 310°F at the final curing stage. For additional information on curing see Union Ink's Plastisol General Information Sheet. PLASTIPUFF will produce beautiful multi-color effects if quickly flash cured between colors. Do not flash long enough to complete the puff process; just gelling the print so as to avoid pressing into the garment when successive colors are printed over it. Puff the ink on the final cure .

Important Note on Curing:

Excellent puffing is achieved at temperatures too low to fully cure the plastisol. It is important to reach the recommended temperature to ensure proper adhesion. If the cured print cracks when folded it is probably not cured.

SCREEN FABRIC: Monofilament meshes ranging from 33-76T (14-29T metric) may be used. High ink deposits will produce higher expansion . (Best results are obtained by thick stencils to further increase ink deposits) .

SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Use water soluble hand-cut, photo screens and blockouts with this ink or use other suitable products.

MODIFIERS: PLASTIPUFF Inks are supplied Ready-For-Use. If necessary use very small amounts of PLRE-9000 Detackifier/Reducer. Always stir well to break down false body and determine the actual working viscosity prior to adding reducer.

WASHUP: T-125 mineral spirits, or biodegradable washes SYS-2500, SYS-2550 or SYS-2510 screen wash gel.
