Introduction of the Catalysts

1. Selection of Catalyst tailored to the ink and its characteristics

Characteristics of Catalysts and applicable inks.

We prepare the following Catalysts for each ink tailored to the demand such as curing speed and physical property of the printed ink layer.

Catalyst	Characteristics		Applicable ink	Standard additive amount
	Curing speed	Physical property of printed ink layer		Color ink	Medium
101 Catalyst	Fast	Hard	EG	7%	8%
			WIS	10%
106 Catalyst			MRX-HF	10%	11%
			IPX-HF	14%
			INQ-HF	4%
			MIR-9100 Mirror	1%
			MIR-51000 Mirror	1%
96 Catalyst			EGR	3%
			ERX	3%
210 Catalyst			POS	6%	8%
			MRX-HF	5%	6%
			SP-2100AU Clear	14%
			SP-3100AU Clear	13%
			MIX-HF	3%
240 Catalyst			IPX-HF	10%
			INQ-HF	3%
220 Catalyst			IPX-HF	15%
			INQ-HF	5%
200 Catalyst	Slow	Flexible	IPX-HF	16%
			INQ-HF	6%
			MIX-HF	9%
PS Catalyst	exclusive for PS ink		PS	20%	33%

Note:
Addition of Catalyst beyond the above conditions may cause poor adhesion or degrade physical property and resistance of printed ink layer. Please be sure to measure amount accurately and mix sufficiently before use.

2. Additive amount of molding ink and Catalyst

Difference in additive amount of Catalyst depending on molding
ink type

Additive amount of Catalyst differs between 2 pack type molding ink; IPX-HF and INQ-HF ink as shown in the table below. Please be sure to confirm additive amount of catalyst before using molding ink.

Note:
Please be sure to test in accordance with the application purpose of the final product before use.
