Teikoku SP 2100 AU CLEAR is a 2-pack, isocyanate-hardening, urethane-type clear overcoat designed to be printed on Teikoku VKT Ink. Teikoku SP 2100 AU CLEAR provides superior gloss and has excellent weather-resistance. It is suitable as a clear overcoat for PVC stickers used on automobiles, motorbikes, outdoor signage, etc.

Applications

♦ Clear Overcoat for fleet marking of cars and motorbikes.
♦ Clear Overcoat for PVC outdoor signboards.

Special Features

♦ Excellent weather resistance and super gloss finish
♦ Superior adhesion to PVC stickers
♦ Well balanced ink layer hardness
♦ Pot life is longer than 8 hours

Thinning & Mixing

♦ Stir well before every use.
♦ Add 14 parts of "210 Catalyst" to 100 parts of SP 2100 AU Clear and mix well.
♦ Pot life is 8-10 hours at room temperature. Mix only quantity needed.
♦ Use Z-704 Thinner with 10-20% dilution ratio.

Printing & Cleaning

♦ 180-225 mesh monofilament polyester stencil is recommended. Coverage is 25-35 m2 /kg with 200 mesh.
“Screen Cleaner N” is recommended to clean the stencil.

Drying

♦ More than 60 minutes at 60°C is recommended for complete drying.
♦ Complete dryness is necessary to remove residual solvent, which otherwise leads to lack of adhesion and resistance.

Caution

♦ Printed articles should be piled up after heated drying for 60 minutes at 60°C and put on a rack for 15 hours.
♦ Application tape should be applied after 60 minutes of heated drying at 60°C and being stored for 48 hours.
♦ Alcohol resistance test should be applied to confirm sufficient curing after heated drying.
It is possible to detect insufficient curing, or excessive and deficient catalyst.
SP 2100AU Clear has resistance for 15-20 times back & forth immediately after heated drying, and 50 times or more back & forth immediately after complete drying.
