International Coatings Print Smarter with Low Cure Additive
The 3804 Low Cure Additive by International Coatings Company® is designed to enable textile screen printing on heat-sensitive substrates like 100% polyester and non-woven polypropylene bags. By adding this additive to regular plastisol inks, the curing temperature is lowered, offering a solution for materials prone to bleeding or dye migration at higher temperatures.
Key Points:
• Type: Low Cure Additive for plastisol inks
• Curing Temperature: Lowers curing temperature to 300º F (149º C), and sometimes as low as 275º F (135º C)
• Non-Phthalate: 3804 is NP (Non-Phthalate) compliant
• Heat Sensitivity: Ideal for printing on heat-sensitive materials like polyester and non-woven polypropylene
• Performance: Reduces dye migration and fabric shrinkage, while enhancing flash times
Features:
• Versatile Application: Perfect for heat-sensitive fabrics prone to damage at higher curing temperatures.
• Control Over Curing: Allows for precise temperature control during curing to prevent shrinkage and bleeding.
• Non-Phthalate: Meets modern environmental standards.
• Improved Flashing: Enhances flash times, making it ideal for spot drying applications.
