The 1000 series is a family of two-part reaction epoxy-based inks having equal performance for printing on a wide variety of materials including aluminium, metallic coats, stainless steel, phenol, melamine, treated olefin-type resins, glass, and ceramics. They are highly regarded for their outstanding film toughness and chemical resistance over a long period of time
| Ink type | Two-part reaction inks in which unique epoxy resin is blended. |
| Usage | Iron, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals, metal-coated industrial parts, markings and plates, packages and containers made of glass, thermosetting plastics, treated olefin-based resin, etc., requiring resistance against acids, alkalines, solvents, and friction. |
| Finish | Gloss finish of outstanding wear resistance and levelling. |
| Drying time | May be air-dried or curing. Sets to touch in about 2 hours at room temperature (20°C), or by curing in 40 minutes at 80°C or 20 minutes at 120°C. Yellowing may result, however, if a white ink in this series is cured at temperature over 100°C. |
| Mesh | Use of 200-to-300-mesh nylon or Tetron screen is recommended. A photomechanical process assures the best results. |
| Mixing ratio and viscosity adjustment | Each product in this series consists of a color base (main agent) and a hardener. Mix in the ratio of 7-3 (by weight), agitate well, and allow to set for about 10 minutes. Then, add specified adjustment T-1000 (10-20%) to obtain the ideal viscosity for printing. The film performance varies substantially at different mixing ratios (shown below) and the main agent and the hardener should be mixed carefully at an appropriate ratio (medium ratio 6:4). |
| Wash-up | Use T-31 for economical wash-up. |
| Hue | High-quality pigments are used in the main agent to ensure good resistance to weathering in all colors. Use 1000-medium for metallic finishes. All standard colors are nontransparent. Transparent colors and fluorescent colors are available upon request. Refer to the separate chart about the correlation between colors and weathering resistance. Note that fluorescent colors are somewhat lacking in storage stability and weathering resistance. Use fluorescent colors on white substrate for better results. |
| Notes | Use T-965 retardant when the ink dries quicker on the screen plate in summer. Fogging may result in winter or in rainy weather due to moisture. This may be prevented by allowing the ink to set and curing it immediately after printing. Bubbles and pinholes may be seen during printing due to inappropriate ink viscosity or printing environments (temperature, humidity, etc.). Use Care#8 (additive) to prevent these problems if viscosity adjustment is not helpful. Avoid over dosage of the additive. |
