Bases, Clear & Additives
Buy Bases, Clear & Additives Below:
Features and Tips
MSB-100 Clear/Soft-Hand Extender:
Great for wet-on-wet printing, thinning, reducing viscosity, extending
and a soft-hand feel. Safe to use in any quantity desired, because it is a balanced
mixture that can be heat-cured at normal plastisol temperatures (300°F - 330°F).
Increases ink penetration and elongation. MSB-100 Clear can also be used as a
transparent “base” with the addition of pigment.
Balanced Reducer: Curable clear liquid
used to “thin” ink, but that means reduced opacity. Because of its curable formulation,
any quantity can be used. Similar to MSB-100 Clear, but thinner.
Thinner DT: Thinner DT will
reduce tackiness and viscosity. It also will reduce “ink hang” in the screen
while maintaining opacity if used properly. Use 1% - 3% by weight. Note: Over-use
of Thinner DT can cause resin swelling and affect ink opacity, printability
and cure.
Thinner PL: Thinner PL will
increase ink penetration, gloss and elongation. It also can improve “ink flow.”
However, it cuts opacity and slightly increases heat curing time. Use 1% - 5%
by weight. Use cautiously, use too much and the ink will never cure.
Thickener Paste: Thickener
Paste will slightly increase the viscosity while improving the “wetness” of
the ink. Use to build body and help control ink build-up under screen. Use 1%
- 5% by weight. Use cautiously.
Thickener Powder:
Thickener Powder can significantly increase ink viscosity. Must be
stirred in with a power drill to thoroughly mix/disperse. Use up to 1% by weight.
Will not affect opacity or dry/cure time. For special applications or preferences,
Thickener Powder also can help the ink “stand-up” on the garment.
Flash Additive/Dulling Powder:
Flash Additive will decrease flash times necessary while also
reducing gloss, penetration and flow. Use up to 7% by weight. Must be stirred
in with a drill. Note: Do not use with other reducers.
Athletic Additive: Athletic
Additive is used to provide greater adhesion, abrasion resistance and elongation
characteristics for athletic printing. Use in conjunction with any MC or MCO
ink. Use 20% - 25% by weight. Will not affect bleed resistance or curing time.
Puff Concentration: Multi-Puff
is a plastisol ink especially designed to give a raised or expanded dimensional
look to printed designs. Multi-Puff 109 Puff Concentrate can be added 25% -
40% to general-purpose Multi-Choice plastisol to achieve a puff effect. High
Density ink doesn't expand and 'puff', it is thick to start with. Use it for
dimensional effects like simulate leather patches.
Color Matching: Multi-Tech offers custom color matching upon request.
Minimum quantity is five gallons with a $80.00 matching fee. When drum quantities
are ordered, the matching fee is waived. Please allow 1-2 weeks for the matching
process. Specify color desired (sample preferred) and opacity requirements.
Phosphorescent: Multi-Tech
features a ready-to-use (MC-102) that glows in the dark. We also have phosphorescent
powder (use 10% - 15% by weight in a clear base) for custom applications.
Pearlescent/Shimmer: Wet
"pearl-type” look.
Crystalina: Multi-Tech's
Crystalina is a ready-to-use specialty ink designed for a “sparkle” appearance.
Pigment & Base Color System:
Multi-Tech has a complete pigment and base system for custom color matching.
Soft-hand, standard, high-opaque, puff and specialty bases are available for
use with our extensive range of pigment concentrates. Compatible with many of
the existing pigment systems on the market today.
Foil & Flock Adhesive: Multi-Tech's
MC-107 Flash Clear is great as a flock or foil adhesive with excellent
adhesion characteristics.
Custom Formulations: Multi-Tech
offers custom formulations to suit unusual or difficult specialty applications.
Call us to discuss your special needs. Stir plastisols prior to each use. Do
not dry clean or use bleach. Always pretest before use to establish suitability
and procedures prior to production. |
