Mixing Preparation
(2 component ink)
The required mix ratio is ten parts by weight of ink to one part by weight of hardener. When machine mixing, avoid prolonged high speeds. 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). Adhesion improves with increased post curing. Because pigments can settle during storage is suggested that the Silicone Ink be stirred before use. Add the hardener to the ink to assure complete dispersion. Mixing may be done by hand with a spatula or by machine. Avoid stirring in an excessive amount of air.
Thinner:
If the mixed viscosity is too thick for a specific application, SI Solvent is available to custom design the viscosity for a specific application. Ink Solvent is environmentally friendly. It has zero VOC and will not adversely affect the adhesion of the system.
Attention: the use of any solvents or retarders other than those in SI series may adversely affect printing and adhesion.
Drying: Silicone Ink must be dried at 204°C (400°F) for 2 – 6 minutes.
Caution:
contact with some materials will inhibit the drying of 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.
