Epoxy Based & Solvent Resistant Inks

ADE Series Epoxy Solvent-Based Screen Ink

Substrates

Metals - Glass - PC boards - Epoxy - Melamine - Treated polyethylene - Treated polypropylene

ADE Series epoxy solvent-based screen ink has been formulated with high quality epoxy resins for excellent adhesion to metals, glass and a wide range of hard-to-print substrates. ADE Series is ideal for electronic and industrial applications and provides outstanding solvent, chemical and abrasion resistance. ADE is a two-part ink and must be initiated with a catalyst prior to use. ADE ink exhibits a high gloss finish. ADE Series is for indoor applications only.

Drying / Curing Parameters
ADE inks crosslink or cure over time as the residual solvent is evaporated from the printed
ink film. ADE inks dry to the touch before the ink film achieves full cure to exhibit required
adhesion, chemical resistance and surface hardness. At lower temperatures, drying and
curing takes place over longer periods of time; whereas elevated temperatures speed up the
process. At any temperature, it is necessary to maintain good air circulation to remove the
vaporized solvents. Residual solvents in the air inhibit the drying/curing process. Multiple layers
of ink may require longer drying times than a single layer.

Room Temperature: ADE Series dries to touch in approximately 30-60 minutes and cures in 5-7
days.
