Epoxy Based & Solvent Resistant Inks

MEETS MIL SPEC.: CID A-A-56032D Types I, II & III Formerly: MIL-I-43553b

AVAILABLE COLORS: Black 27038 & White 17875 (other colors require special order and minimum).

PROPERTIES: Superior adhesion to epoxy, glass, metal or other nonporous surfaces. Excellent resistance to abrasion, MEK, alcohol, TCE, flux removers, salt, acid and alkali solutions when properly cured. Designed for rubber stamping or offset printing.

APPLICATIONS: Used for part marking in the automotive, appliance, electronics, glass and ceramic industries. Designed to be used with rubber stamps and on offset printers.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: For all colors except silver, mix 2 parts ink to 1 part catalyst by weight. For silver, mix 2.4 parts ink to 1 part catalyst by weight. Allow an induction period of 30 min, to achieve the best results. When used with a rubber stamp, roll the ink to a thin drawn-down on a glass, metal or vinyl plate with a brayer roller or similar device before transferring to the stamp.

CURE CYCLES: This is a room temperature cure ink, dries to handle in 6-8 hrs. and requires 4-7 days to develop solvent resistance. May also be force cured at one of the following time/temperature cycles: 150°F(66C)-90 min. or 200°F(93C)-1hr. or 250°F(121C)-30 min. or 300°F(149C)-10 min. or 350°F(177C)-6 min. POT LIFE: 5 hours SHELF LIFE: 18 months.

SURFACES: Ceramics, phenolic, polyesters, melamine, silicone, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, glass, electronic parts DRYING TIME: dries to touch within 2 - 3 hours. Adding heat shortens curing time. Max. adhesion and chemical resistance takes 7 - 10 days. Requires addition of catalyst immediately before use.
