Curable Reducer by International Coatings
The 1110LF Curable Reducer by International Coatings is designed to lower the viscosity of plastisols without impacting their curing or fusing properties. As a curable reducer, it ensures proper curing when exposed to heat, making it ideal for wet-on-wet printing applications. This versatile reducer can be used to adjust ink viscosity and reduce ink build-up, ensuring smooth prints with minimal complications. The recommended use is between 1% and 25% by volume, depending on the desired results.
Key Features
• Low Viscosity Adjustment: Reduces ink viscosity without affecting curing or fusing properties.
• Curable Reducer: Cures with heat, ensuring consistent results.
• Reduces Ink Build-Up: Helps reduce ink build-up during wet-on-wet printing.
• Versatile Usage: Ideal for opaque and standard opacity inks.
• Proportions: Use 1% to 25% by volume depending on ink adjustment needs.
Application
• Reduces ink viscosity in plastisol inks for smoother application and printing.
• Prevents ink build-up during wet-on-wet printing.
• Not suitable for low-bleed inks; for those, use 1099 Lo-Bleed Reducer.
Usage Recommendations
• Opaque Inks: Add 5% to 10% by volume.
• Standard Opacity Inks: Add 1% to 5% by volume.
• Use correct screen mesh (160 to 230 monofilament) and proper tension to reduce ink build-up further.
