Remark:

- Fineness : < 10 microns
- Viscosity: measured by Zahn No.3 ASTM
- Acid resistance:
Dipping into solutions of 3% hydrochloric acid and 7% acetic acid; slightly colouring of solution, but no change in shade of ink film after 30 mins.
- Alkali resistance:
Same result as acid test after 30 mins. Dipping into solution of 2% NaOH at room temperature.
- Water resistance:
Same result as acid test after 30 mins. Dipping into water at room temperature.
A : No change
B : Slightly colouring of solution but no change of shade of ink film
C : Slightly fading of shade of ink film and a little colouring of the solution
D : Fading pretty much
- Light fastness:
Tester: Sun tester 575
Distance from light source to substance: 300 mm
 Full: high concentration (colour ink : white ink = 1: 0)
 Tint: low concentration (colour ink : white ink = 1:10)
The degree of resistance:
AA : No fading after 60 hours
A : Fading after 35 - 60 hours
B : Fading after 15 - 35 hours
C : Slightly fading after 15 hours
D : Fading much within 15 hours

7. Thinner:

Isopropanol (IPA) / n-Butanol / Toluene = 60 / 25 / 15
- Adding too much amount Toluene will tend to burn the plate, especially in photo sensitive polymer plate. Thus, need to testing level of burning the plate before using thinner formulation
- For higher printing speed, the drying speed can adjust by adding about 10 % Ethyl Acetate


8. Attention for Users:

- Stir well before using.
- The fineness of previously used inks should be tested before using because a long-term storage can cause an ink agglomerate. Only mix 10 – 30 % previously used inks into fresh inks and sieve carefully by filter screen 100 µm or metal screen 120 mesh.
- Using the ink supply system together filter screen equipment and circulating pump to prevent inks from skinning, foreign matters as well as to stabilize colour strength.
- Solvent is easy to absorb moisture in volatilizing process, moisture can be easily introduced due to long contact with air, leading to thickening, stratification and filling-in. To prevent these phenomena, the ink added should subject to little quantities and many times, slow drying solvent should be used in so far as possible, and humidity of working areas should be controlled at 55 - 65%. If the humidity is higher, please use our dehumidifying additive with content of 2-5% of the fresh ink.
- Ensuring a good blocking resistance, it’s necessary to control adequate drying rate.

 Medium usage:

For printing, medium is added into inks to decrease colour strength, depends on the cell-deepness of cylinders. Generally, 10 – 15% medium should be mixed into fresh inks. In special cases, the medium content used is a higher ratio. We recommend the medium ratio as follows:
 Medium rate ≤ 10 – 15% : using non – additives Medium.
 Medium rate > 15% : using Medium with additives.


9. Safety and storage information:

- The products contain flammable liquids. Thus, it’s necessary to keep a working area ventilating or install a exhaust system of ventilation. Keep away from heat, spark/flame, and static electricity.
- Storage and handling at 15 – 25oC.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
- Shelf life: 6 months after date of manufacture (in condition 15 – 25oC).
