Ulano Platinum – Textile Emulsion
Platinum is a ready-to-use
SBQ-photopolymer direct emulsion for imprinted sportswear printing with plastisols, including aggressive post-phthalates. With anti-halation chemistry, Platinum can be used with less costly white mesh without the closing-up of fine lines and details. With the addition of its optional diazo, Platinum resists water-based and discharge inks. Its high viscosity (12,000 – 14,000 centipoise at 25º C.) provides good coating control, even on coarse mesh. Its high solids content (≈ 42 %) facilitates fast drying, good buildup of EOM (emulsion thickness over mesh) per coating stroke and, thus, good printed edge definition. Platinum is formulated for compatibility with CTS (computer-toscreen) exposure, and automated washout and reclaiming equipment. Used with plastisols, it does not require any sensitizers or additives; it is presensitized and premixed. Platinum’s grey color, provides high color contrast for easy stencil inspection.
