8300 SERIES EMA INK
Properties
Low price. Excellent adhesion.Good flexibility. Alcohol resistance. Polycarbonate, Rigid PVC.Especially for industrial applications.
INTRODUCTIONS
8300 SERIES EMA INK is evaporative drying type of ink specially designed for industrial meters and fascias. 8300 SERIES satisfies the required properties with its low price, which means high cost performance of this series.
APPLICATIONS
IFascias of polycarbonate and acryl, industrial meters, name plates. Printing on ABS, rigid vinyl resin.
CHARACTERISTICS
The possibility of the crack on the substrate is low. Excellent adhesion.
Excellent printability. The possibility of pin holes and crawling is low.
Excellent flexibility. Suitable for post-processing such as punching.
Excellent resistance to oil, alcohol and chemicals.
HOW TO USE
Dilute the ink with PC THINNER(standard drying, slow drying, retarder). SPECIAL PC RETARDER is recommendable to print fine patterns. If other thinner is used, cracks may appear on the substrate.
DRYING
Tack free time : Diluted with 20% thinner to print on polycarbonate. Dried at room temperature.
- PC THINNER, STANDARD DRYING : Approx. 5 -10 minutes
- PC THINNER, SLOW DRYING : Approx.20 minutes
- PC RETARDER : Approx.25 minutes
- SPECIAL PC RETARDER : Approx.35 minutes
When 8300 series is used for fascias and industrial meters, heat drying at higher than 70°C(158°F) is recommended to avoid the out-gas trouble.
STENCIL & WASHING UP
Use photo-stencil. Use our VINYL CLEANING THINNER for washing up.
COLORS & TYPE OF PACKING
Standard 15 colors, EXO(extra opaque) 5 colors, transparent 4 colors. 1-kg-can.
PRECAUTIONS
- Cracks may happen on polycarbonate molds and some kinds of sheets. If cracks happen, anneal the substrate, or use SSP THINNER STANDARD DRYING(special). The situation may be improved.
- Please refer to MSDS before use.
- Be sure to do trial print before commercial run to confirm that the product fits the purposes.
