2500 SERIES MIG-N(SD) INK
INTRODUCTIONS
2500 SERIES MIG-N(SD)INK is one-pack type of ink designed for metal and glass. 2500 SERIES MIG-N(SD)INK is slow drying version of conventional 2500 SERIES MIG-N INK. Its adhesion to the materials is superb and the physical properties and weathering resistance are also excellent.
APPLICATIONS
Unprimed-metal, primed metal, glass, ceramics, thermo-setting resin products.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Excellent adhesion and glossy finish.
- Ink film is tough. Superior physical properties and weathering resistance can be obtained.
- Ink cures at relatively low temperature(150°C)(302°F).
- The possibility of clogging is low due to its slow drying.
HOW TO USE
- It is easy to handle compared with two-pack type of ink which has pot life.
- Dilute the ink with TETRON THINNER or PC THINNER.
- Add thinner by 10-20% and stir well before printing.
DRYING
Tack-free-level of drying can be obtained with hot wind drying at 50°C(122°F) for 7 minutes plus 100°C(212°F) for 2 minutes. Dry each color under these conditions before printing other color on top of it. Baking should be done only once after printing the last color. Baking conditions : 150°C(302°F) x >30 minutes.
STENCIL AND WASHING UP
Use photo-stencil. Our VINYL CLEANING THINNER is recommended for washing up.
COLORS & TYPE OF PACKING
Standard 13 colors, Halftone 5 colors. 1-kg-can
PRECAUTIONS
- 2500 SERIES MIG-N(SD)INK reacts to heat. Store the ink at low temperature (<40°C)(<104°F).
- This ink does not cure unless it is heated at the higher temperature than 150°C(302°F).
- Add JA-1000 by 0.5-1% when printed on glass. Adhesion and physical properties such as solvent resistance are much improved. Pot life of the mixture is 12 hours at 20°C(68°F).
- Please refer to MSDS before use.
- MIG-N is manufactured after receiving order. There is no stock.
- Be sure to do trial print before commercial run to confirm that the product fits the purposes.
