General Purpose and Solvent Resistant Emulsions

FX-88 is an abrasion resistant, general purpose emulsion for use with solvent-based inks, such as Enamel, Acrylic, Vinyl and U.V. FX-88 Produces stencils with good resolution and definition using low intensity light sources. Also, available is FX-88SR with separate color dye for easier see-through registration, is ideal for weaker light sources and aggressive inks. This Emulsion is especially recommended for use in Plastisol printing operations when aggressive solvents are used during wash-up.

569 offers complete solvent resistance. Provides stencils with superb resolution, excellent edge definition and high solids content. Great for working with fine line details and halftones. 569CL emulsion is available CLEAR for easier see-through registration (Supplied with a purple color dye) 569FAST requires half the exposure time of 569 & 569CL and can be used with low-intensity light sources.

925WR/CL this emulsion provides better resolution, edge definition and exposure latitude. 925WR/CL produces stencils that are completely water resistant and very durable, excellent for printing with Plastisol and Water-based inks. 925WR/CL is available CLEAR and supplied with a Violet color dye.

TLX is a multi-purpose high speed emulsion with higher solids content. TLX has superb coating properties and durability, and is resistant to a wide variety of solvent & water-based inks.

Introducing our NEW Emulsion for Discharge Printing!

QT-Discharge is specially formulated to resist discharge inks and is compatible with water-based and plastisol inks too. It requires fewer coats than 925WR or 995WR, dries more quickly, and exposes twice as fast. QT-DISCHARGE has a high (41%) solids content, providing good stencil build per coat, excellent mesh bridging of coarse mesh, and fast drying. It utilizes a powder diazo (rather than 925WR's syrup), and requires no UPS shipping up-charge. Solids content: 41%

Features-At-a-Glance:

• Compatible with virtually all water-based inks and plastisols textile inks
• Powder diazo powder, not syrup has no hazardous shipping restrictions
• Formulated for use with discharge inks
• Durability can be extended with Hardener D
• Fast exposing means more stencil throughput in high volume shops
• Can be used with weak light sources
• High (41%) solids content dries quickly; good build-up per coat
• Virtually odorless and VOC-free & biodegradable
• High contrast red color for easier touchups

Hardener D is a liquid stencil hardener formulated for use with QT-DISCHARGE direct emulsion to improve its durability and water resistance. Hardener D can be used with other textile emulsions but will make stencil removal more difficult and may embrittle the stencil.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. APPLY HARDENER D
   Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Make a stencil with QT-DISCHARGE direct emulsion. Dry the screen and stencil. Apply Hardener D to both sides of the screen with a soft-bristled brush, a sponge, or a work rag.
2. ALLOW HARDENER D TO DRY Let Hardener D dry at room temperature, without the use of a fan. Drying time will depend on the relative humidity, but may take up to one hour under high humidity conditions. Thorough drying allows time for the QT-DISCHARGE stencil to absorb the Hardener D and for Hardener D to evaporate from the open areas of the stencil. Any remaining Hardener D residue in open areas of the screen will usually open up after several prints, or can be removed with solvents. OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL DRYING TIME The water resistance of QT-DISCHARGE will be improved by allowing the screen to dry for a full 24 hours at room temperature.

OPTIONAL HEAT CURING:
Drying Hardener D in heat will increase its water resistance. The higher the heat and the longer the dwell time, the greater will be the water resistance of the stencil. Suggested settings/dwell times: 100º F. (40º C.) for 3 hours; 140º F. (60º C.) for 1 hour.

SBQ Photopolymer Emulsions (Ready-to-use)

QTX Emulsion is a ready to use, ultra-fast exposing SBQ Photopolymer direct emulsion designed for use with Plastisol inks. QTX is extremely durable and reclaims easily. QTX high solids content provides superior coating properties, better bridging to coarse fabric and fast drying.
