- Superior printability and leveling
- Good stencil stability
- Adhesive, binder
Substrate
- Various plastics, paper, metals, etc.
- PC
- Easy adhesion treated PET
- Metal
- Paper
Dilution
- C-002 SOLVENT (standard) Dilution: 1 to 3%
- *Dilution is not necessary. Do not use other solvents or additives as they may adversely affect adhesion, etc.
Recommended cleaner
- Screen Cleaner L2
Mesh
- T 50 to 100 mesh（Recommended printed ink layer is 25～35μm, please print as thick an ink layer as possible）
Drying
- 80℃ 20 min or more
Caution
- Plastic substrate contains plasticizers or release agents, which may have unexpected adverse effects. Please confirm the performance thoroughly before use.
- Please note that printing CAT-1300S adhesive on screen-printed materials may cause a significant decrease in adhesive strength due to the type of ink or poor drying of the ink.
- When CAT-1300S adhesive is printed on a transparent sheet that is back printed, metallic and black colors tend to change hue slightly due to the adhesive printing. To prevent such problems, laminate the printed material with PET film, etc., before printing CAT-1300S adhesive.
- For adhesive printed materials, please affix release paper to the printed surface as soon as possible after drying to prevent adhesion of dust, etc.
- Surface of substrate should be thoroughly cleaned of moisture, oil, and other dirt before printing.
- Please do not put adhesive in metal cans and use polyethylene containers instead as it may cause color change.
- Ink shelf life: 9 months from production date, unopened

FAQ
-
What is screen printing?
-
Screen printing is a type of stencil printing which uses a technique of duplicating the image from a design made on mesh stencils.
When printing ink goes through the mesh, it transfers the image onto the substrate material. Other than air and water, any substrate materials are printable. Not only flat surfaces, but also curved, specially shaped, and molded products are suitable for screen printing.
