Colorful Durability - PLTF Ink
CHARACTERISTICS: PLTF ink is a single-component series ink. This ink is quick to dry and has a glossy finish, remarkable for its good coverage.
 
APPLICATIONS: Particularly suited for printing on painted surfaces, leather, imitation leather, wood, polyethylene and polypropylene, soft and rigid PVC, polystyrene PS, ABS, SUN, paper, and cloths.
 
RESISTANCE: Excellent resistance to previously mentioned materials. Good resistance of all colors to electric molding except for black, gold and silver.
 
FLASH POINT: Above 21 degrees C.
 
PREPARATION: Thin and mix well the PLTF 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.
 
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.
 
DRYING AND HARDENING: Generally the following drying times are applicable:
  • Hand drying at 68 degrees F: Approx. 10 - 15 minutes
  • Drying can be accelerated by using ovens with circulating hot air or spot devices at high temperatures.
  • The final hardening of the ink is obtained after 24 hours.
RANGE OF COLORS: PLTF is available in 22 standard colors. PLTF has a very good light resistance with a fastness equivalent to 7-8 rating DIN. PLTF inks are adjusted for printing with PLTA Thinner, PLTCAN Fast Thinner, and PLT4D Retarder for printing fine detail.
 
HALF TONE: PLTF inks are available in transparent colors PLTF #180 Yellow, PLTF
 
PRINTING: #181 Magenta, and PLTF #182 Cyan.
 
STORAGE: PLTF has a shelf life of about 2 years. Storage containers should be sealed and placed in a cool and dry place.
