Product overview

FLG-HF G05 MATT CLEAR is formable clear ink with a matt finish for printing on Polycarbonate materials, treated PET, or printed ink layer. Because printed ink layer is extremely scratch-resistance, this clear can be used as a protection for ink layer, and it can also provide a matt tone design.

Caution

  • Due to the possibilities of contamination with halogen compounds, only designated solvents and catalysts can be used.
  • Please check the squeegee rubber, emulsion, materials and substrates before use, as they may contain halogen compounds.
  • Checking before commercialization: Adhesion and resistance properties may change due to differences in substrates, processes, printing and drying conditions. Be sure to check the adhesiveness and resistance properties before mass production printing.
  • Not suitable for outdoor exposure application
  • Ink shelf life: 6 months from production date, unopened.

Safety

  • UN No.: 1210
  • UN Classification: Class 3 Flammable Liquids（Flash point is over 23 Degree C）

Handling

  • Use safety gloves and eyeglasses to protect skin and eyes. If the ink comes in contact with skin, wash with soap and plenty of water (or lukewarm water) and consult with a doctor.
  • Containers should be closed tightly after use and stored in a cool and dark place.

FAQ

What are the meanings of X and Q used in the ink names such as IPX, INQ, FMX, etc.?

X and Q are used to designate isophorone-free inks.

What is diffusivity?

We refer to the diffusion of light (Haze: cloudiness). By diffusing light, a frosted glass-like effect can be achieved.
