DESCRIPTION

GT Products© Silicone Inks are designed for printing on silicone rubber parts. They can be applied by either screen or pad printing.

Colors

GT Products^© Silicone Inks are available in standard colors as shown. GT Products^© Silicone Ink is also available in a flexible, clear, sprayable topcoat.

MIXING

GT Products^© Silicone Ink is supplied with a matched quantity of GT Products^© Silicone Ink Drier. The required mix ratio is ten parts by weight of ink to one part by weight of drier. Because pigments can settle during storage is suggested that the GT Products^© Silicone Ink be stirred before use. Add the drier into the ink to assure complete dispersion. Mixing may be done by hand with a spatula or by machine. When machine mixing avoid prolonged high speeds. Avoid stirring in an excessive amount of air.

Working Time

After mixing, the ink will remain useful for approximately 24-hrs at room temperature. Placing the material in a closed container in a cool (below 50°F) environment will extend the mixed pot life. The separate components may be stored in closed containers up to one year at room temperature (72°F).

THINNING

If the mixed viscosity is too thick for a specific application, GT Products^© Ink Diluent (GT5240) is available to custom design the viscosity for a specific application. GT Products^©Ink Diluent is environmentally friendly. It has zero VOC and will not adversely effect the adhesion of the system.

Drying

Caution: Contact with some materials will inhibit the drying of GT Products^© Silicone Ink These include: silicone RTV containing organo-tin catalysts, sulfur- containing compounds, amines, some urethanes, and organic acids. A small-scale compatibility test is always recommended.
