The VIC series is a family of two-part reaction urethane inks that dry more quickly than other two-part reaction inks. They feature outstanding adhesion, good moisture and solvent resistance, and may be printed over treated PP and PE as well as coated surface. ABS, acrylic, PVC, and other materials.

Specifications
Ink type Quick-drying, two-part reaction inks using an isocyanate hardener.
Usage Treated PP and PE coats (especially urethane coats), ABS, acrylic, PVC, nylon cloths, etc.
Finish Generally semi-gloss finish plus solvent-resistant film, although the quality varies slightly with the color.
Drying time Air or thermal curing. Sets to touch in 30 minutes at room temperature (25°C); 5 minutes by thermal curing at 60°C. Hard dry in 1 week at room temperature; 20 minutes by thermal curing at 80°C + 2 days air drying.
Mixing ratios Add hardener (transparent) to the main agent (colored) at the ratio of 1:10, and agitate them well before use. Use within the pot life of 6-8 hours, after which the mixture will turn to gel or lose its designed physical properties. Pot life may vary based on environmental sectors.
Diluent Use the following types of solvents (10-15% weight) to adjust viscosity: standard solvent (T-926), slow-dry solvent (T-927), retarder (T-980).
Wash-up Use T-15 for economical wash-up.
Notes VIC series hardeners are very sensitive to humidity, so VIC inks should be used as soon as possible after opening. After the addition of gold metallic powder, a reaction will occur that causes the ink to gel rapidly.The inks should not be used in cases of such reaction.

HF SKY-series is a family of two-part reaction inks that is compatable with IMD/IML Application.

Specifications
Type Two part thermal curing ink.
Usage PMMA PC ABS etc.
Feature Gloss finish
Diluent Standard T-980
Mixing ratios HF SKY 120 White a hardner : A Hardener = 100 : 3 HF SKY 710 : A HARDENER = 100 : 3-10 *if high stretchability is required, less ratio of hardener is better. If there is no requirement of stretchability, high ratio of hardener is better.
Washing solvent T-15
Drying time : 80° x 5min (Temporary drying) 80° x 1-2hours (Final drying after print binder) Example of drying for each layer 1st HF SKY 710 (80° x 5min) 2nd HF SKY 710 (80° x 5min) 3rd HF SKY 710 (80° x 5min) 4th HF SKY 710 (80° x 5min) 5th JT50 Binder (80° x 2hours) Longer drying time give higher heat and wash out resistance
Test Conditions

The HF HSD series is a family of two-part reaction type inks. They can be widely applied to various materials, and offer excellent printability. Having a flexible ink layer, they can also be applied in in-mold decoration. This series of inks is halogen-free and environment-friendly.

Specifications
Ink type Polyacrylate-based two-part isocyanate hardener-type.
Usage Excellent adhesion on various materials, suitable for materials such as processed PP, coated surfaces, ABS, PMMA, hard-coated PMMA, PC, processed PET, and aluminium.
Features • Gloss Finish • Widely applicable, demonstrates excellent adhesion to most substrates. • Excellent moisture and solvent resistance. • Halogen-free
Diluent • Standard solvent: T-926 • Slow-dry solvent: T-927 • Retarder: T-980
Mixing ratio • Ink: D-Hardener = 100:10) • Gel phenomena may occur after 6-8 hours of usage at room temperature after mixing, leading to reduced physical performance.
Washup T-15/T-31
Screen 200-300 mesh/inch polyester or nylon screens recommended.
Drying time • Sets to touch-dry in 40 minutes at 25°C. • Hard-dries in 1 week (air-drying) or 30 minutes at 80°C+2 days air-drying. • When applied to metal substrates, thermal curing for 20 minutes at 120-150°C is required for optimal results.
Notes • When used on electroplated film, dilute with solutions T-900 or T-910 to prevent solvent attacks to the substrate. (Verification is advised based on substrate differences) • D-Hardener is extremely sensitive to moisture. Use as soon as possible after opening. • Bubbles and/ or pin-holes may form based on printing conditions. Add 1-2% (by weight) of CARE 13 as needed. • Add 3-5% of CARE 73 to enhance adhesion to glass and resistance to boiling and alcohol.

The 2500 series is a family of inks for printing on acrylic resins, and features outstanding weather resistance and clarity for screen printing on nameplates and electrical signs. The inks in this series are air-drying inks of low odor. They are free of peeling. discoloration, fading, or cracking at the time of forming. Use of exclusive solvents is highly recommended as acrylic resins are affected relatively easily by solvents. Moreover, the inks in this series must never be mixed with other inks,

Specifications
Ink type Air-drying ink of low odor level consisting of acrylic resin, other special resins, and high-quality coloring pigments of high weather resistance.
Usage Ideal for printing on nameplates and electrical signs made of acrylic resin and other plates.
Finish Semi-gloss (slightly varying with the color) fifinish with good leveling and smooth fifilm of outstanding pattern reproduction. Outstanding transparency and coloring for electrical signs.
Coverage and shading power Outstanding covering power of black color for nameplates.
Clarity Eight transparent colors are available. 110 (electrical sign white) emphasizing semitransparent white is also available for lining under electrical signs.
Weather resistance This series of inks have excellent weather resistance when printed on the interior surface of acrylic signs. Weather resistance is reduced when printed on the exterior. Also, chalking may occur with high concentration colors. Sample before use.
Secondary processability Outstanding secondary processability (heat resistance, etc.) after printing, especially for post printing forming of electrical signs without cracking or discoloration
Adhesion Outstanding adhesion especially to acrylic resin plates, plus weather resistance for use with electrical signs.
Drying time Air-dries (20°C) in about 30 minutes (sets to touch). Curing for 5-10 minutes after printing at temperature 60-80°C will further increase adhesion, Troubles due to drying conditions and other factors may result when printing on molded signboards, especially when they are let to dry on racks in poorly ventilated and cold places. These problems can be prevented by the addition of quick-dry solvent and by thermal curing Acrylics resin plates should be stored carefully as they easily absorb moisture and cracks will result when printing on moist resins.
Viscosity adjustment Ideal viscosity varies with the printing environment. Normally, an adequate working viscosity when T-2500 is added to the ink in proportion of 5-15 to 100 (ink).is obtained
Slow-dry solvent Use T-2500S or T-980 for summer or precision printing.
Screen Use of water-soluble cut fifilm or photomechanical process in combination with Tetron or nylon screens of 200-300 mesh is recommended
Wash-up Use T-15 for economical wash-up.
Notes The inks in this series must never be mixed with other inks. Use of exclusive solvents is highly recommended as ordinary solvents will afffect drying time and cause crazing and other problems in the material and the printed film.
