Emulsion for printing textiles and rigid materials by screen printing. Allows the design to be etched onto the screen and printed using solvent or water-based inks.
Diazo photopolymer sensitizer in an additional bottle
Available in Zoico Dual TC emulsion and Zoicocoat WR, which can be hardened with Fixaplast
Apply 1 or 2 thin layers on both sides of the mesh to ensure complete coverage
High image resolution and excellent resistance to solvent-based inks such as plastisols
Leaves the mesh smooth and ready to use
The Zoicocoat WR emulsion is hardenable or catalysable, with the Fixaplast hardener increasing resistance to water-based inks and prolonging the quality of the exposure
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
Apply in a dark and enclosed space. A red or yellow bulb can be used to see the process
It is not advisable to expose these emulsions with LED lamps
For water-based inks, it is recommended to use the hardenable Zoicocoat WR emulsion (Ref. 012366)
Store at a temperature between 5 °C and 30 °C without exposure to ultraviolet light
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Wash and remove grease or any foreign contaminants with a degreaser. Any dust particles could leave pores in the design
Mix the emulsion with the diazo before applying it to the mesh. Fill the diazo bottle with water and shake until dissolved. Add it to the emulsion
Store the emulsion in a cool, dark place and let it rest for at least 20 min until air bubbles are removed
Slowly coat the screen with a squeegee
Let it dry horizontally in a dark environment at a temperature of 30 - 40 ºC, with humidity of 30 - 50%. The screen must be completely dry before exposure
Repeat the coating and drying process as needed to achieve the desired thickness
Expose the screen to UV rays with a wavelength of 350 - 420 nm. Conduct tests to establish the appropriate exposure time, the maximum that achieves optimal resolution
Moisten the screen on both sides using water between 20 °C and 26 °C. After 1 -2 min, rinse with greater pressure on both sides of the screen until fully developed
Perform a post-exposure 2-4 times the original exposure to improve print resistance
If using the Zoicocoat WR emulsion, the screen must be hardened. Apply the hardener with a sponge on both sides of the mesh and let it dry horizontally at 40 °C for 1-2 hours. It can also be done at 22 - 25 °C for 24 hours(*).
(*) Once the screen is hardened, recovery may be difficult.
