Technical Specifications

Product Description:
The 11000 Ink Series is a flexible, one component, no gloss, chemical resistant solvent-based ink system which adheres to a wide variety of substrates. The 11000 Ink Series can be used to print nylon jackets, flags, Tyvek®, plastic sheeting, leather, wood, metals and treated polyethylene and polypropylene plastic containers.

Screen Mesh:
110 to 305 (43 to 120 cm) monofilament polyester is recommended.

Stencils:
Solvent proof or water-soluble emulsion only. Use a water-soluble blockout.

Squeegee Type:
A sharp 65 to 75 single durometer blade.

Ink Additives and Thinning:
Stir the ink well before every use. The 11000 Ink Series is supplied in a press ready condition for most applications and printing equipment, however certain additives may be required for different types of printing applications. Use TW-1073 Thinner or 11017 thinner for normal viscosity adjustments or to improve the inks flow by no more than 5 to 10% by weight. Retard with TW-1091 for fine detail printing, slow print cycles or high temperature conditions by no more than 5 to 10% by weight. For maximum adhesion to synthetic fabrics, inks must be thinned for better surface penetration. An over reduction with retarders and thinners can result in blocking and a significant reduction in drying speed. Never exceed recommended levels of reduction.
Use 2 to 5% of TW-2919 Adhesion Promoter / Catalyst by weight to improve chemical resistance and adhesion. Please note however, that the addition of the W-2919 Adhesion Promoter / Catalyst will result in a reduced pot life of 4 to 6 hours under most conditions. We strongly recommend mixing only enough
ink for a estimated 4 to 6 hour period.

Ink Yield and Coverage:
Colors should achieve a yield of 1,400 to 2,000 square feet per gallon (33 to 47 square meters per liter) depending on fabric selection, squeegee hardness, substrate absorption and press mechanics.

Drying Parameters:
The 11000 Series will air dry in 10 to 20 minutes at normal room temperature. Force drying in seconds at 90° to 150° F (32° to 66° C). To prevent the blocking of material after printing, it is paramount to ensure that the temperature of the drying is not excessive and the air flow surrounding the material is good. Material blocking may occur if sheets are stacked when warm.

Adhesion Testing:
It is imperative that all substrates are tested prior to use within production. Even similar materials can vary between different batches, manufacturers or the age and storage time of the particular substrate. Certain types of fabrics may be manufactured with surface treatments which can impair ink adhesion and print performance. The 11000 Series has been specifically formulated to adhere to most polyethylene and poly-propylene substrates with surface tension levels of 38 dyne/cm or higher. Once the ink has been fully dried and allowed to cool down, the adhesion should be tested by: Cross Hatch Test—Using a sharp blade or cross hatch knife, cut through the film of the ink only, then Apply 3M #600 tape firmly on the cut area. Rub the tape down firmly then rip off. Ink should only come off in the straight cut areas.

Do not use Mineral Spirits, Lacquer Thinner or  other solvents used within other screen printing inks. The 11000 Series unique formula requires additives developed exclusively for this product line.

Storage
Store at room temperature, below 100° F (38° C). Always avoid open flames and excessive heat exposure.

Packaging:
Available in quarts, gallons, & five-gallon pails.

Safety and Handling
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for this product prior to use.

Estimated Durability and Light-fastness
Although outdoor durability cannot be specified exactly, accelerated weathering tests indicate that the 11000 Series Ink Line has an exterior life up to two years on most substrates, with exception to Reflex and Ultra Blue. Reflex and Ultra Blue has an exterior life up to one year. Variables within production and the end products use within the field will greatly affect a printed substrates durability. A slight change in color and gloss level should be expected. Some chalking might occur with specific pigments on exterior exposure.
