AQUASOL AQUAPLAS WHITE/CLEAR M

Water-based Elastic Binder Paste for Extremely Fine Machine Silkscreen Printing

Properties

Aquasol Aquaplas White/Clear M are formulated to be suitable for silkscreen machine printing and regular
table printing with screen mesh sizes of up to 250 for cotton and polyester-based type of fabric. In cases
where there are very high demands on wash fastness, Aquasol Crosslinker can be added. Prints with Aquasol
Aquaplas White/Clear M are soft, smooth, extremely fine, matt (low gloss) and highly elastic by design.
Aquasol Aquaplas White/Clear M pastes are environmental friendly and are free from conventional toxins
including formaldehyde, azo, APEO, polyvinyl chloride (P.V.C.) and phthalates. A copy of our warranty

Aquasol Aquaplas White M – Highly opaque and elastic with brilliant white tone. Suitable for prints on
dark fabric.

Aquasol Aquaplas Clear M – Transparent and elastic. Suitable for colour prints on white and light colour
fabric. Well suited for process and tone colour prints. Aquasol Aquaplas Clear M can be mixed with Aquasol
Aquaplas White M in any proportion as per requirement.

Application Procedure

It is important to ensure that the colour pigments that are added to Aquasol Aquaplas White/Clear M pastes
do not significantly affect (or reduce) the optimum supplied viscosity of the said pastes. In cases where the
colour pigments are of very low viscosity, add Aquasol Thickener to the said colour pigment to increase
viscosity before adding it to the Aquasol Aquaplas White/Clear M pastes. Pastes that are of low viscosity do
not permit high quality prints through fine mesh screens. Aquasol Aquaplas White/Clear M are thixotropic
and can become more viscous when left standing for prolonged periods of time. However, the viscosity will
reduce with stirring or agitation during the usual process of printing. Aquasol Aquaplas White/Clear M are
suitable for silkscreen prints with screen mesh sizes of up to 250. It is possible to use Aquasol Aquaplas
Clear M for wet-on-wet machine silkscreen prints. However, it is advisable to flash cure the Aquasol
Aquaplas White M for base prints on dark fabric. It is imperative to cure the prints for ~2 min. at 135oC
(print surface temperature) to achieve complete curing. The addition of 3-5% of Aquasol Fixer NF is required
for prints on polyester fabric. The mixture with Aquasol Fixer NF will provide a potlife of 8 hours.

Storage

Do not exceed one year from date of manufacture. Protect from frost (>5oC). Keep lids tightly closed at all
times after use.
