TOPICS WHY PRINTING WITH SILICONE INKS SILICONE INKS FEATURES STRONG POINTS ADVANTAGES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT TEXISIL RANGE TEXISIL AUXILIARIES

TEXISIL WHY PRINTING WITH SILICONE INKS They enable to achieve prints complying with the most severe restrictions in terms of ecology and safety for the users They enable to achieve prints which are PVC, phthalate, heavy metal and formaldehyde free They allow to achieve extremely elastic prints They allow to achieve prints for sportswear They allow to achieve special effects prints They make printing possible onto such substrates sensitive to high temperatures

SILICONE INKS FEATURES Silicone inks are bi-component products for pigment screen printing.

The term bi-component means that such inks need a specific catalysts to be cured; otherwise, the process cannot occur.

The special feature of silicone inks is that, like plastisol inks and unlike water-based ones, they do not dry at room temperature,

TEXISIL STRONG POINTS ADVANTAGES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT PVC, phtalates and heavy metal free Complies with the most restrictive ecological standards

PRINTING FEATURES Very high elasticity Bright colours Anti-foil effect High resistances
