Ideal for Printing onto Temperature Sensitive Fabrics
Very Opaque with High Stretchability
400FF Series Inks are Formulated to be Phthalate Free
400FF Series Plastisol Ink is a fast fusion ink system that can be used for screen printing high stretch fabrics that require a lower curing temperature. 400FF Series is designed to comply with requirements for heavy metal and other restricted chemicals. 400FF Series Plastisol Ink is phthalate free. Curing can be achieved at 135°C to 140°C or approximately 275°F to 285°F.
Stencil: All types of stencils may be used for screen printing 400FF Series. If Phthalate Free prints are a requirement use phthalate free photo emulsion to prevent contamination.
Screen Mesh: Use a screen mesh count of 60 to 160/inch (24T to 64Tcm). The choice of screen mesh depends on the ink deposit and opacity required.
Reducer: 501PF Curable Reducer or 502PF Reducer can be used adjust the viscosity of the ink. Up to 3% may be added to reduce the ink.
Curing: 400FF Fast Fusion Plastisol Ink will cure at temperatures as low as 275°F to 285°F or 135°C to 140°C. Extra time for the curing oven may be required. After curing has finished, let the print cool completely. The print should stretch and retract without cracking. If the print cracks too easily, it is under cured and oven temperature should be increased or the speed should be slower. Before a final production run, testing is strongly recommended.
Ink Cleanup: Use Enviro Series 2000 Green or Enviro Series TR Blend.
