Pad Printing Ink
Mixing ratio
Before the ink is printed,it is essential to add hardener GLH in the correct quantity.For each colour shade,the ratio is as follow:20 parts by weight of ink:1 part by weight of hardener.
Stress resistance
After proper and thorough drying,the ink film exhibits outstanding adhesion as well as rub and scratch resistance and is dishwasher-proof.In tests,the prints have resisted more than 300 dishwasher programs.For higher demands to rub-resistance,we recommend to overcoat with Overprint Varnish GL 910 or Marapoly P910.
pplication:
The Glass Ink GL is primarily designed to print onto glass and ceramic,as used in the glass and cosmetic industry,but also to decorate promotional items made of glass or ceramic.The bond of this ink to these surfaces is excellent,and it is highly resistant to water,compared to other 2-component ink systems.The ink is therefore,suitable for printing onto give-away items,where a limited dishwasher resistance is required.The Glass Ink GL also adheres very well onto a variety of metals,such as chrome-plated writeing instruments.The Glass Ink GL can also be processed with a spray gun,but preliminary trials are necessary for this process.We recommend to filter the thinned ink(25μm screen)before processing,as otherwise there could be bubbles in the ink film.
