Main features:

• The 2004 series doesn’t contain Cyclohexanone and aromatic Naphthas.
• Excellent printability . Soluble during printing . Glossy appearance
• Moderate solidity for applications that must be exposed to the outside . Quick drying . Excellent opacity
• Excellent adhesion even on surfaces with poor wettability, using the relative hardener.
• Excellent chemical-physical solidity . Pseudoplastic ink

Because of the versatility of use of this ink, and the possible differences in the quality of the supports used, pre-tests are suggested.
If necessary, help the adhesion of the ink modifying the surface tension of the various supports with specific treatments such as: plasma treatment, corona, flaming (physical treatments), cleaning or degreasing (chemical treatments).

It’s possible to do tests even with post physical treatments.

• 2004 series mixed with hardener has a pot life of approx. 8h (at 20°C).
• Higher temperatures and humidity will reduce pot life
• (suggested temperature at 20-25°C and low moisture content in the workplace).
• Used as two-component ink, 2004 series has to be mixed with hardener at a specified ratio prior to processing.
• Thinner is added after addition of hardener.
