QT - POLY LO BLEED KELLY GREEN

Polyester low-bleed plastisols are formulated to fight dye migration on the nastiest bleeding 100% polyester athletic uniforms or other synthetic fabrics prone to dye migration. It is formulated to provide excellent printing characteristics and is designed for both manual and automatic printing.

POLY Series inks are being replaced by ATHP Series, non-phthalate Inks

SPECIFICATIONS:

USES: For use on direct printed 100% polyester fabrics. Ideal for controlling dye migration on Athletic uniforms or any other nasty bleeding fabrics.

FINISH: Cures to a gloss, rubbery finish.

OPACITY: Excellent opacity on fabrics.

DRYING TIME: POLY Series plastisol inks will not air dry. They must be heat cured. POLY Series inks will fully cure and withstand repeated washings when the entire ink deposit reaches 300°F. Curing can be accomplished with the use of a conveyor dryer, flash curing unit, or simple infrared heater. Because of the extra thickness of the ink film, it is extremely important to check the cure to see that the film has cured all the way through. Poor wash ability can generally be traced to under curing!

SCREEN FABRIC: Use coarse meshes, from 74 to 110 monofilament polyester. For maximum opacity, use 62T monofilament polyester.

SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Use water soluble hand-cut, photo screens and blockouts with this ink or use other suitable products. A heavy stencil is recommended for which capillary films work well.

MODIFIERS: POLY inks are ready to use straight from the can. Since plastisol inks Rbody upS as they sit in the container, you should always stir ink well to determine the actual printing viscosity before adding reducer. The viscosity of POLY inks has been carefully formulated to sit on top of the fabric when printed. Reducing may cause the ink to penetrate the fabric, reducing coverage. If reducing, use only small amounts of UPLUS-9000 as a reducer or detackifier.

SQUEEGEE: For maximum deposit, a soft rounded squeegee is recommended

WASHUP: T-125 or biodegradable washup SYS-2500, SYS-2550 or SYS-2520 screen wash gel.
