Product Overview:
STR-150 Stretch White is a ready-for-use stretch white plastisol. It is intended for use on stretchable fabric that would cause regular plastisols to crack. It is the solution for printing on high stretch fabrics.
Printing:
Recommend 83-110 TPI (32-43 TPcm) for best results. Screens stretched to a minimum of 25 newtons are recommended. A thicker deposit is better. The thicker the deposit, the longer the print will last. In lab testing, it was found that a print-flash-print held up the longest in comparison tests.
Stencil:
Use any direct emulsion or capillary film.
Substrates:
Stretch White is designed for 100% cotton, 50/50 cotton polyester blend fabrics, and LycraŽ. It has moderate bleed resistant qualities
Modifiers:
Do not thin, thicken or modify in any way.
Curing:
Recommended cure temperature is 340-360°F (171-182°C) for 60-90 seconds, depending on the curing unit and thickness of ink deposit. The ink film must be heated throughout to thoroughly cure. When thoroughly cured, the ink is 100% washable. Wash test the garment to verify your curing is adequate.
It is strongly recommended that the garment is not stretch tested until the garment has cooled and set for a full 24 hours. If the garment is stretched before, the ink is much more likely to crack and break.
Cleanup:
Use any of the commercially available products for the cleanup of plastisol inks.
Environmentally Friendly:
QCM Plastisol Ink contains no leaded pigments and, when properly disposed of, has no environmental impact. Use a screen wash for plastisol cleanup. Scrape screens carefully and store ink for reuse. Minimize unusable scrap ink by segregating ink by color. |
