Union Poly- Polyestor Low Bleed Plastisol Ink

General Information
Polyester low-bleed plastisols (POLY) are Union’s ultimate high-opacity low-bleed plastisols formulated to fight dye migration on the nastiest, bleeding 100% polyester athletic uniforms or other synthetic substrates prone to dye migration. It’s formulated to provide excellent printing characteristics and is designed for both manual and automatic printing.

Opacity -Polyester low-bleed plastisols are high-opacity, low-bleed inks.

Mesh -Print through 74T-110T (29-34 metric) monofilament polyester. For maximum opacity use 62T (24 metric).

Stencils-Any direct emulsion or capillary film compatible with plastisol inks.

Additives
Polyester low-bleed plastisols are supplied ready to print. Since plastisol inks “body up” as they sit in the container you should always stir the ink well to determine the actual printing viscosity before adding any reducer. The viscosity of Polyester low-bleed plastisol has been carefully formulated to sit on top of the fabric when printed. Reducing may cause the ink to penetrate into the fabric affecting coverage. Never add mineral spirits to any plastisol ink

Printing Instructions
For the best coverage, bleed resistance and brightest print, adjust the off-contact distance and squeegee pressure to print the ink layer on top of the printed fabric rather than pushing the ink through it.

Curing Instructions
Plastisol inks will not air dry and must be heat cured. Polyester low-bleed plastisols will fully cure and withstand repeated washings when the entire ink deposit reaches 300°F (149°C).

Caution
Because of the thick ink deposits required by athletic printers, Polyester Low-Bleed plastisols may require higher dryer temperatures or slower belt speeds for the ink deposit to reach the recommended curing temperature.
