English / Español Colorful Durability - PLT6 Ink CHARACTERISTICS: PLT6 ink is a single-component series ink that can also be used as a two-component ink. This ink has a semi-glossy look and is quick to dry.   APPLICATIONS: Particularly suited for printing on rubber, and natural or synthetic textile fiber such as leather and imitation leather as well as polyamide. Good results are also obtained on polyurethane and polyamide.   RESISTANCE: Excellent mechanical and chemical resistance. If used as a two-component ink the mechanical and chemical resistance is excellent and increases its adhesion.   FLASH POINT: Above 43 degrees C.   PREPARATION: Thin and mix well the PLT6 ink with PLTA Thinner in a portion of 10-20% max. In warm climates and in the presence of fine details or screened images the use of PLTD Retarder in a very small percentage is recommended. If the achievement of the major mechanical or chemical resistance or a higher adhesion is required, the ink can be used also as a two-component ink series. PLT6 can be mixed with hardener PLT4H in a ratio of 10 parts ink to 1 part hardener.   WARNING: An excessive dilution causes a loss of coverage, smudges and incomplete ink detachment from the pad. A poor dilution may cause problems withdrawing ink from the cliché obtaining a repetitive print quality and avoiding the "dripping" of the same ink with lower print quality.   WARNING: The life of the mixed ink is 8-10 hours after which the mechanical-chemical resistance and adhesion decrease. This is also dependent on room temperature and ratio of solvent.   DRYING AND HARDENING: Generally the following drying times are applicable: Hand drying at 68 degrees F: Approx. 1-2 minutes. Drying time can be accelerated by using ovens with circulating hot air or spot devices at high temperature. The final hardening of the ink is obtained after 24 hours. RANGE OF COLORS: PLT6 is available in 22 standard colors. Europa scale is available in the Transparent colors. PLT6 has a high light fastness equivalent to 7-8 rating DIN fastness. PLT6 inks are adjusted for printing with PLTA Thinner, PLTCAN Fast Thinner, and PLT4D Retarder for printing fine detail.   HALF TONE: PLT6 inks are available in transparent colors PLT6 #180 Yellow.   PRINTING: PLT6 #181 Magenta, and PLT6 #182 Cyan.   STORAGE: PLT6 has a shelf life of about 2 years. Storage containers should be sealed and placed in a cool and dry place. PLT6 MSDS Ink Color Chart Customer Order Form Contact the Company
