GS Series is a solvent-based screen ink which applicable to most of the transparent plastics, especially for PET, PC, PVC, acrylic and glass. Perfect mirror effect achieved on substrates with the highest degree of transparency for light reflections.

 

With the fine metallic particles in 10μm, treated distinctively and the synthetic resin resulting in an innovative product, the stylish mirror effect could be simply done by printing. The series typically reaches its boiling point at 76℃ relative to the degree of dissolution.

 

Applications:

 

Mesh                  300 – 350 polyester mesh (120T – 140T)

 

Stencil               Any direct emulsion and capillary film which are solvent resistant.

 

Squeegee         Sharp edge, 65?– 85?blade

 

Dilution             GS series is formulated to print from the container with excellent properties,
add FM-005 Thinner while necessary to assure the excellent mirror effect.
Should be well mixed before printing and fastened during storage.

 

Curing               (PC, PET) by solvent evaporation and forced dry at 120 – 130℃ in 20 – 30 minutes, 40 minutes at humidity.
(PVC, PMMA) by solvent evaporation. Surface dry at room temperature then forced dry at 30 – 40℃ in 20 – 30 minutes.
(Glass) by solvent evaporation. Leave idle in 2 – 3 minutes and forced dry at cool temperature in 15 minutes, then 130℃ in another 20 minutes for excellent adhesive performance.

 

Wash-up           By specific Screen Wash.

 

Storage             Dry indoor below 75% humidity in 90 days from the date of manufacture.

Printing Advices:

 

1.         Always mix up before each application. The metallic pigment, resin, promoter and additives would delaminate in storage since the weight difference.

 

2.         Mesh in 300 – 350 (120T – 140T) is recommended since the low viscosity of GS series. Blade with proper hardness should be considered to minimize the printing stress.

 

3.         Avoid violent airflow which leads screen blocking.

 

4.         Apply slightly lower tension to the stencil.

 

5.         To achieve the best mirror effect, always avoid humidity and proceed curing immediately at low temperature after the printing procedure.

 

GS series is conformed to ASTM F963-96a, EN71:Part3:1994 and RoHS directives.
