International Coatings Sentri Curable Reducer

Sentri Curable Reducer - 3818 from International Coatings is a versatile soft hand additive and viscosity modifier, designed to enhance the feel of prints without compromising the quality or curing properties of the ink. This reducer is ideal for achieving smoother ink flow and softer prints, making it perfect for high-quality screen printing applications.

Key Features:

• Soft Hand Additive: Enhances the softness of prints for a comfortable feel.
• Viscosity Modifier: Improves ink flow for smoother application.
• Compatibility: Mixable with various ink series, including 700, 1100, and 7500 Series.
• Cost-Effective: Reduces ink cost and opacity when mixed with opaque colors.
• Fabric Limitation: Not recommended for poly/cotton dark fabrics due to the absence of low bleed properties.

Spot Flashing:

• Low After-Flash Tack: Spot dries with minimal tackiness.
• Dwell Time: Varies depending on the spot dryer; avoid excessive heat to prevent tackiness.
• Final Curing Required: Spot drying partially fuses the ink; ensure full curing in the dryer for proper adhesion.

Important Information:

• Usage: Add 10%-20% by volume for a softer hand.
• Caution: Excessive use may reduce ink opacity and affect curing times.
• Fabric Limitation: Not suitable for poly/cotton or 100% polyester fabrics prone to dye migration.
• Mixing: Stir ink thoroughly before and after adding the reducer.
• Testing: Always test dryer temperatures and perform wash tests before starting full production.
