International Coatings Print Smarter with Low Cure Additive

International Coatings Print Smarter with Low Cure Additive

The 3804 Low Cure Additive by International Coatings is designed to enable textile screen printing on heat-sensitive substrates like 100% polyester and non-woven polypropylene bags. By adding this additive to regular plastisol inks, it lowers the curing temperature, offering a solution for materials prone to bleeding or dye migration at higher temperatures.

Key Points:

• Type: Low Cure Additive for plastisol inks
• Curing Temperature: Lowers curing temperature to 300º F (149º C), sometimes as low as 275º F (135º C)
• Non-Phthalate: 3804 is NP (Non-Phthalate) compliant
• Heat Sensitivity: Ideal for printing on heat-sensitive materials like polyester and non-woven polypropylene
• Performance: Reduces dye migration and fabric shrinkage, while enhancing flash times

Features:

• Versatile Application: Perfect for heat-sensitive fabrics prone to damage at higher curing temperatures.
• Control Over Curing: Allows for precise temperature control to prevent shrinkage and bleeding.
• Non-Phthalate: Complies with modern environmental standards.
• Improved Flashing: Enhances flash times, making it ideal for spot drying applications.
