Binder Paste for High Gloss and Transparent Gel Print
Properties
Aquasol Glitter Paste is formulated to provide premium elastic and high gloss prints on cotton-based and
cotton-polyester blend fabric. In addition, high build but highly transparent prints are possible in order to
create the ‘gel’ effect. However, unlike its counterpart in plastisol, these gel prints are smooth, very glossy
and free of tack. Aquasol Glitter Paste can also be used as high gloss overglaze to enhance gloss on other
printed surfaces. Aquasol Glitter Paste is also very transparent and can be used with glitter, metallic and
reflective pigments.
Application Procedure
Print Aquasol Glitter Paste directly onto fabric or on top of Aquasol Aquaprene inks. Unlike regular glitter
inks which can become detached from the surface of the rubber inks during washing, Aquasol Glitter Paste
is compatible with Aquasol Aquaprene inks to provide wash resistant and very soft prints. Mix glitter,
metallic, reflective and other pigments directly into Aquasol Glitter Paste and stir until homogenous either
manually or with a slow speed mixer. Aquasol Glitter Paste is suitable for silkscreen prints with screen mesh
sizes of 1000-1300. However, lower mesh screens may be necessary for glitter/metallic/reflective prints
depending on the size of the pigment used. After ambient drying, the prints are fully cured at 150oC for 2
min. or heatpress at 135oC for 10 s.
Storage
Do not exceed twelve months from date of manufacture. Protect from frost (>5oC). Keep lids tightly closed
at all times after use.
