SCREEN PRINTING INKS

f o r t h e s u s t a i n a b i l i t y o f l i f e . .

ScreenPrinting InksScreen Printing Inks are used in printings made

with serigraphy system. Ink viscosity is adjusted

with thinners according to type of sieve.

There are different series screen inks which are suitable to

different materails such as metal, glass, artificial leather,

textile and paper besides plastic materials and in diversity

that can satisfy all needs of the sector. These inks are used

in printing of many products such as graphics, posters,

advertisement boards, billboards, totems and promotion

materials.

SE Series

Solvent based screen inks seriesMAXIMA is self-dissolving screen ink series which is

designed for printing on hard and soft PVC, self adhesive

PVC papers, enamels, melamine, polycarbonates,

oroglass, perspex and other acrylates, ABS, CAB,

cellulose acetate, polystyrene, polyesters, artificial

leather, plexiglass, paper and cardboard.

Solvent based screen inks seriesSE series screen inks having extra high adhesion

characteristics are suitable for applications that are not

needed high chemical resistance. They can be applicable

to hard plastics, PVC, artificial leather, plexiglass, acetate,

polystyrene, self adhesive PVC papers, enamel, melamine,

cardboard, polycarbonate, oroglass, perspex and other

acrylics, ABS, CAB, cellulose acetate and polyesters.

The plasticizers present in the structure of soft PVC

known as artificial leather have tendency to migrate to the

surface by the time and this leads to blocking problem.

For that reason some print samples should be subjected

to blocking test.

Technical Properties• Excellent gloss (can be produced as matt if desired)

• Very low blocking risk

• Low odour

• Fast drying

• Elastic printing surface with good rub resistance

• High rub resistance and high slipperiness

• Excellent dot sharpness and excellent screen work

• Superb screen stability and self solvency

• Maximum lightfastness and weathering resistance

(sufficient also for normal printing of outdoor

advertising posters)

• High battery acid, alcohol and petrol resistance

MX Series

Technical Properties• Excellent gloss (can be produced as matt if desired)

• Low odour

• Fast drying

• High rub resistance and high slipperiness

• Excellent dot sharpness and excellent screen work

• Superb screen stability and self solvency

• High battery acid and petrol resistance

Remarks:• Printings on glass and metal surfaces should be cured for

15 minutes at 140 °C to obtain maximum hardness and

adhesion.

• Ink should be stored as two packs and should be mixed in

recommended ratios just before using.

• Since the ink mixture will be hardened after 12-10 hours,

just required amount of ink should be prepared.

• Polyethylene surfaces should be treated with fire.

• Even though the inks have high light resistance, epoxy

resins used in formulation can have poor weathering

resistance. Prints might have chalking tendency and loss

of gloss risk. Inks might be not useful for long term

outdoor applications.

Technical Properties• Excellent gloss (can be produced as matt if desired)

• High rub resistance and high slipperiness

• Excellent dot sharpness and excellent screen work

• Superb screen stability

• High battery acid, alcohol and petrol resistance

Double component solvent based screen inks seriesSF series screen inks are developed for extra high

adhesion and resistance applications. Double

component, epoxy based SF series inks are

designed for printing on HDPE, LDPE, PP, metal and

glass to obtain printings having very high gloss and

resistance. SF series inks dry by chemical reaction

(polymerization). Although surface drying is

completed in 20-30 minutes after printing, the

hardening of the ink film occurs after 12 hours.

Chemical resistance of the printing is very good

after 24 hours and it reaches its best after a few

days.

Mixing Ratio: 2 units ink and 1 unit hardener

(SF0421) by weight. Chemical resistance can be

increased by increasing the ratio of the hardener

up to 1/1 weight-to-weight ratio by keeping in mind

that the elasticity of the ink film will decrease in

the same ratio. The viscosity of the mixture should

be adjusted by SF9900 thinner according to the

mesh number of the screen and no other solvent

should be used.

SF Series

SP SeriesSolvent-based serigraphy ink series

SP series is a screen ink series which have

an excellent adhesion to polypropylene

materilas. SP serie is cured with

evaporation of solvents in the system and

via chemical reaction (polymerization).

Screen ink series having excellent printing, adhesion and drying properties with a wide range of transparent and opaque color palette. If requested all colors can also be produced as mat inks.

These ink series are suitable to use for screen printing works. For different sieves viscosity is adjusted to the print viscosity by using thinners. There are special series which can be applied on to a very wide range of plastic substrates and also metal, glass, artificial leather, fabric and paper. Some common products from the screen printing industry include posters, labels, signage, billboards, totems and all types promotion materials.

SF series screen inks are developed for extra high adhesion and resistance applications. Double component, epoxy based inks are designed to obtain printings having very high gloss and resistance.

Fast thinner should be used for very fast automatic printers and at cold conditions where drying takes longer time than expected.

For SF series 2 units ink and 1 unit hardener (SF0421) by weight is mixed. The viscosity of the mixture should be adjusted by SF-9900 thinner according to the mesh number of the screen and no other solvent should be used.

10-20% thinner should be used to prepare ink to the print viscosity for No.120 screens. This quantity differs for other type sieves. Thinner that will be used should be select according to ink type and printing conditions.

It is an effective cleaning solvent, used for screen cleaning after print work without damaging the screen. And it is also recommended to use for other cleaning operations. Cellulosic thinners should not be mixed into inks.

This cleaner can be used for cleaning the ink residues on the screen. The print ghosts that are appear during the print or rest after print should be clean with this cleaner. Because this residues can be blocked the screen. Print ghosts are come into begin if the wrong solvent used for screen cleaning or if the emulsion and ink are not compatible.

It is an effective cleaning solvent, used for screen cleaning after print work without damaging the screen.

It is a cleaning solvent to use for cleaning emulsion leftover on screen. After emulsion decomposition process this solvent also be used for cleaning the emulsion residues from the previous work, which can be damage the new image.

At very high temperature Retarder Thinner would be used.

For spray applications Spray Thinner would be used.

Under normal conditions Normal Thinner should be used.

SP series screen inks are developed for extra high adhesion and resistance applications for especially polypropylene materials.

SCREEN INKS PRINTING AIDSMX SERIES SE SERIES SF SERIES SP SERIES

It is a defoaming and levelling additive. Foaming problem is caused by bad levelling on printing. This can be resulted in pinholes sometimes. To prevent this problem print substrate should be cleaned. If smooth level cannot be achieved, small amount of defoamer (max 1%) can be added to the ink externally. By mixing carefully, levelling problem should be solved.

High gloss protective overprint lacquer. It is used to get slip, gloss and protective property on printed materials. If matt effect is desired, suitable matting paste can be added.

Matt and gloss transparent varnishes are compatible with ink system. These are used for to adjust the colour density of inks according to print conditions.

When matt appearance is requested, it is used by mixing into the ink upto desired level. Since it is compatible with ink, it can be mixed easily.

It is a printing aid used to get better adhesion at printing to surfaces that are non-corona treated and/or inadequate treated. Beside it can be used for very thin film materials, which cannot treat with flame. Application: It is applied directly to substrate surface that is clean, dry, without grease and dust with a piece of cotton or fabric. Print can be made just after drying. Efficiency stays for 1-2 days.
