How to print silicone on elastic tapes by auto-table screen printing machine?
Preparation:
- Mesh&Squeegee: HD and glossy screen Mesh number 120-150 (48-59T), CMYK Mesh number300(120T).
- Squeegee 65-75 degree Squeegee sharp and flat.
- Pigments added ratio:For white and fluorescent color 20%, other color 10%
- Catalyst mixing ratio:10%
- Silicone thinner XG-128AH adding ratio:10-20% :20%
Heating Temp and time: Flash cure temp :100℃- 120℃ for 6-10 seconds, after finish printing to dry by temp :120℃- 140℃ for about 2 -3 minutes.
Silicone ink printing tips:
- 1 Elastic Silicone ink for under coating and HD printing for 10 layers or more
Elastic silicone XG-130D-3+ 100 G
Elastic silicone catalyst XG-130D-1B 10 G 10% if need slow dry to use 130D-1TMB
Silicone thinner XG-128AH 10-20G 10%- 20%
Cure by temp of 120℃ for 6-10 seconds.
If need better fastness, then can Elastic Silicone ink mix 20-50% crossing linker XG-360Z-3&5%catalyst XG-866B-2 for under printing or 100%crossing linker XG-360Z-3&5%catalyst XG-866B-2 for under printing 2 times first then print Elastic Silicone for high density printing.
- 2 Color effect silicone printing 3-4 layers
Elastic silicone XG-130D+ 100 G
Color pigment XG-203 10 10% white color 20%
Elastic silicone catalyst XG-130D-1B 10 G 10% if need slow dry to use 130D-1TMB
Silicone thinner XG-128AH 10-20G 10%- 20%
Cure by temp of 120℃ for 6-10 seconds
- 3 Glossy silicone ink top wet on wet printing 2 layers:
Glossy silicone ink XG-399-2 100G
Slow dry catalyst XG-MB-1 10G 10% if need extra slow dry to use XG-TMB-1
Cure by temp of 80-100℃ for 10-25 seconds
It will be better to heat by low temp and longer heating time for glossy silicone ink. To avoid bubbles problem. After printing finish, to heat by 100℃ for about 2 -3 minutes If print crossing linker, then have to bake in the oven for 80-100 degree for 10-20 minutes, then can get better fastness.
