QUANTA Dual Cure Silk Screen Emulsion QUANTA Dual Cure Silk Screen Emulsion is a diazo base emulsion (40% solid). Quanta is a dual cure emulsion that takes advantage of the most potential technology available to offer the highest possible “edge definition”, super-resolution, and easiest re-claimer. it is a printer’s dream emulsion. Easily reclaimable-prints more shirts than most two-part products. Yields sharp image and resist solvents in press or screen wash. Quanta is recommended for plastisol, solvent, and UV ink systems. reclaiming the cured film is easy; the screen may be reclaimed with our stripper. Diazo is added by first adding room temperature water into the Diazo bottle, shaking properly until dissolved, and then adding the solution to the emulsion. mix well into the emulsion and it let stand for at least 30 minutes to release any air bubbles that may have been formed during the mixing of diazo into the emulsion.
PREPARATION OF SCREEN & EMULSION:
Clean the screen with Degreaser and let it dry completely. add water to the diazo bottle & shake for a minute or so making sure that all of the diazo is dissolved.Apply one coat of emulsion with diazo (one on the squeegee side and one on the print side). Apply two coats on each side starting from the print side. multiple coats of emulsion on the screen would obviously produce a thicker stencil. when a heavier stencil is achieved through multiple coatings, the exposure time will be increased. Let the emulsion film be completely dry and then wash the screen with a mist of water to open the image area. Get all the water by air or by blotting otherwise the residue of the emulsion may run into the image area, blocking the ink. Look for any pinholes of which Quanta does not usually yield any, If Qunata is exposed within the optimum exposure limits and the screen is degreased and abraded properly. If there are pinholes on the screen after washing use block-out to close the pin holes.
Highlights:
- The broad spectrum of exposure limits, longer latitude
- Excellent resolution
- High edge definition
- Perfect mesh bridging
- Fast drying
- Longer print capabilities with great durability
- Easy reclaiming
- Excellent humidity resistance
- Quicker exposure
- Best choice for developing half tones and fine line
Specification Data:
- COLOR: GREENISH BLUE
- VISCOSITY: 13,000/15,000 CPS AT 20 RPM
- SOLIDS: 40% + -1% SOLUBILITY: WATER
Exposure:
Distance for the exposure should be about one and a half times the diagonal measurement of the artwork from point light sources. yellow & orange mesh requires at least 50% more time than white mesh.
The times given below are based on white 110 white mesh approximately 40 inches.
- metal halide: 60 seconds for 1000 watts / 25 seconds for 3000 watts /18 seconds for 5000 watts
- carbon arc 250 seconds for 15 amps/ 130 seconds for 30 amps/ 70 seconds for 60 amps /
- fluor. tubes 240 seconds for 40 watt
