1300 Series

The 1300 series is a family of epoxy-based inks for printing on metals, metallic coats, and glass where high adhesion power and resistance against chemicals are required. Unlike the two-part reaction inks in the 1000 and 1690N series, the 1300 series consists of one-pack type epoxy inks that are dried by curing. Curing may take extra work, but the one-pack system promises greater ease of work as well as outstanding film performance on curable materials.

Specifications
Ink type One-pack thermosetting inks in which special synthetic resins and epoxy resins are blended. This type of ink normally requires curing at high temperatures, but the inks in the 1300 series contain a catalyst so that they may be cured at a relatively lower temperatures.
Usage Nameplates, electrical appliances, glass parts, etc. made of aluminium, zinc-plated iron, stainless steel, iron, or their coats.
Finish Gloss finish of good levelling.
Drying time Heating is required. Standard drying time is 30 minutes at 150°C.
Diluent Add T-1000 (10-15 parts to 100 parts of ink) to adjust viscosity.
Adhesion Strong adhesion power to metals and metallic coats, glass, etc. See the 1300 ink film test results for ink film performance.

Epoxy resin is easily affected by moisture leading to chalking, especially when used for outdoors application like signboards, direction signs, etc. 2) The 1300 series must be stored in a dark, cool place with minim The 1300 series must be stored in a dark, cool place with minimum exposure to air um exposure to air. 3) The 1300 series contain a catalyst (to promote curing) for redu The 1300 series contain a catalyst (to promote curing) for reduce the curing time but its effects ce the curing time but its effects may be weakened for some colors due to the influence of fresh air or with the passage of time. The original performance can be retained by adding 1300 catalyst H up to 1% (weight). Testing is highly recommended especially when the ink has been stored a long time. 4) Excessively curing the 1300 series may result in the poor adhesion of overprinting. For multi-layer printing, each color should be cured at a temperature below 150 printing, each color should be cured at a temperature below 150°C and only for the final color °C and only for the final color, 150°C curing is recommend to ensure optimal adhesion of the entire ink layer. 5) The 1300 series printed film on a glass substrate may lack water The 1300 series printed film on a glass substrate may lack water and moisture resistance as and moisture resistance as compared with what was printed on metals or coated metals.
