PRECAUTIONS
Hardene JA-960 (fast reaction) or JA-950 (slow reaction, no yellowing) can be added to PET SERIES to improve physical properties such as adhesion, heat resistance and abrasion resistance.
Gloss version, 9100PL SERIES PET INK vis available.
9000N SERIES, which has better adhesion and flexibility than 9000 SERIES, are available.
9000 SERIES and 9100PL SERIES can be mixed. However, as the defoamer used in 9000 is different from that in 9100PL, crawling may appear.
Please refer to MSDS before use.
