GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Tri-Flex 1100 series, plastisol is formulated for direct wet-on-wet printing of athletic and leisure garments and also may be used for
the limited manufacture of Hot-Peel plastisol transfers. This Series comprises our most extensive range of standard colors, NonFluorescent and Fluorescent, Metallics, Glitters and other effects.
STOCK:
For direct prints, knit and woven T-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys, fleece goods, and bandanna stock may all be used. All popular types of
transfer release papers may be used to produce cold peel transfers. Hot Peel transfers can also be achieved with the use of Hot-Peel
paper.
STENCILS:
All types of solvent resistant emulsions are suitable.
SCREEN MESH:
An 110T monofilament is the popular choice; direct printing may also employ the use of mesh sizes 60T to 280T monofilament or
equivalent.
CURING:
315° F TO 330°F depending on ink deposit, fabric type, ink color and dryer efficiency. Failure to properly cure is the primary reason
for ink adhesion failure. Thick ink deposits do require more energy (longer dwell time) to cure, similarly a 100% cotton fabric because
of its high moisture content will reduce curing efficiency compared to a 50/50 cotton polyester mix. Dark colors absorb heat and cure
faster than light colors. Colors, which reflect heat – metallics, glitters and shimmers, also require more energy to properly cure. Finally
the use of a Forced Air Dryer is far more efficient for thorough cure than the use of a Radiant Heat Unit.
WASH-UP:
Saati IR26 or equivalent.
STORAGE PROCEDURE:
Store at room temperature. Keep away from heat.
