• Soft finish prints and glossy effect.
• High resistance in bleeding.
• No harmful or distracting odors in the work place.

Guidance:
 

• This can be used straight from the drum. Well stirring before applying is very important.
• Multiple strokes may be required when printing by hand. To yield a high deposit, use of rounded squeegees or other techniques is recommended when printing on automatics.
• Plastisol Ultimate Polar White is a premium Flash White for a purpose of under base printing on dark ground that can provide the best coverage and helpful for sequence color printing on it.
• Viscosity can be reduced by adding different percentage of Plastisol 700 Reducer to meet client’s intended viscosity and gel or curing will not be affected.
• To create a superior soft hand touch, Plastisol 710 Softener can be mixed 10% max by weight. Over dosage may occur difficulty in drying or curing.

Precautions:
 

• All the above printing guides are required to adjust the off-contact distance, squeegee pressure and blade speed to meet up intended performance, best coverage and brightest print.
• DO NOT add or mix PVC or Phthalates ink with PLASTeco NP Inks. 
• Avoid excessive over-flashing, as it can result in poor inter-coat adhesion of overprint colors.
• Any emulsion compatible with Plastisol inks.
• Failure to cure ink properly can result in poor wash fastness, inferior adhesion, and unacceptable durability.
• Do not dry clean, bleach or iron printed area.
• Containers must maintain seal while not in use.
• On some types of fabric, dye migration may occur. Hence, fabric pre-testing is necessary before bulk production.
