PPE Screen Ink (One Pack Ink for Untreated and Treated Olefin)

Teikoku PPE is one pack, solvent-type screen printing ink with superior adhesion to treated and untreated Polyolefin (PP, etc.). PPE has superior oil/alcohol resistance and surface hardness.

♦ Polyolefin-type materials (Untreated Polypropylene, Treated Polyethylene)

♦ Superior adhesion to untreated polyolefin
♦ Satin finish and high surface hardness
♦ Low odor and good printability
♦ Superior ethanol and oil resistance

♦ Stir well before every use.
♦ Use F-002 thinner with 10-20% dilution for standard applications. F-001 (fast dry), F-003 (slow dry) and F-004 (extra slow dry) are also available with the same dilution ratio.
♦ Avoid excessive thinning and avoid using other solvents as this may cause blocking and lack of adhesion.
♦ “Screen Cleaner N” or F-002 thinner are recommended to clean the stencil.

♦ T-225 – T-300 mesh monofilament screen is recommended as stencil.
♦ Coverage is about 50 m² /kg at 270 mesh.

♦ Tack free drying time at room temperature is about 7-8 minutes at 15% thinning with
F-002. Cellophane tape, nail-resistant adhesion on treated Polyolefin is possible with 1-2 hours drying at room temperature. This takes more time if substrate is untreated polyolefin.
♦ Complete drying requires more than 20 minutes at 60°C, or more than 24 hours at room temperature. In case of multiple printing, heat drying should be done after the last print.
♦ Drying speed may vary depending on material differences, room temperature, printing amount, printing size, etc. Also pigment differences may affect adhesion. Please make preliminary drying test and adhesion test before a commercial run.
♦ Heat drying is strongly recommended for slow dry thinners.

♦ Gel Retarder improves ink flow through openings of stencil and improves printability.
Add up to 10-20%.

♦ PPE ink contains a hard resin, which makes it difficult to bend on flexible polyolefin.
♦ Adhesion test must be done at your site with actual substrate before a commercial run as quality of PP or PE substrates may differ depending on the manufacturer or even different batches from the same manufacturer.
♦ Corona or flame treatment improves adhesion to substrate.
♦ PPE ink is not suitable for outdoor applications.
