Transprent ink Sublicoat A+B 

Bi-component, transparent ink with acrylic-polyester nature, for the decoration of different kinds of materials, such as glass, metal, baked clay, through sublimation.

Application fields :

Varnishing of manufactures that have to be subsequently treated through sublimation decoration.
This product is indicated for application onto glass, baked clay, pre-varnished and not pre-varnished aluminium, and metals in general.

Application tips :
Spray the varnish onto clean and degreased surfaces, in order to obtain a perfect adhesion onto the substrate. It is recommended to use 1,2 - 1,4 mm diameter nozzles with at least a 4 atm pressure. Pot-life at 25°C : 4-5 hours.

DRYING :

• Open air at 25° C :Total hardening within 24 hours
• Into oven at 80° C 45 minutes (it is recommended a previous drying at room temperature for about 30 minutes).

• Diluente Sublicoat                             0,30 Kg

Note : It is recommended to dry well the substrate, which has been varnished through Sublicoat Bianco, before overvarnishing it with the transparent varnish, in order to avoid imperfections in the layer and solidity defects.

Sublicoat Adhesion Promoter

It is an adhesion promoter for glass and backed clay. It must be added in the quantity of 2,5 - 4,0% to Sublicoat Soluzione A. It remarkably increases the anchorage and resistance features. The mixture has a pot-life of 4 hours; after that, the promoter extinguishes itself.

Always test the application characteristics, before starting production.

Always check drying conditions; the possible addition of additives may require longer drying times.
It is recommended to do preliminary tests, in order to determine the right transfer time and temperature.
