ADHESION PROMOTER, STRETCHING AGENT, ADHESIVE FOR GLITTER AND BEATS, XENBOND IS A UNIQUE PRODUCT. IT IS AN ADHESION PROMOTER TO PLASTISOL INK FOR POLYESTER AND NYLON FABRICSTHAT REDUCES THE FUSION TEMPERATURE TEMPERATURE, GIVES FLEXIBILITY TO DRIED PLASTISOL INK (THEREBY INCREASING THE STRETCHABILITY), AND ENHANCES THE GLOSS. IN ORDER FOR REGULAR PLASTISOL INK TO ADHERE TO NYLON, POLYESTER, AND PVC, THE ADDITION OF INK CATALYST (Isocyanate base) SOMETIMES IS NEEDED. MOST OF THESE CATALYSTS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKETPLACE HAVE THREE SERIOUS PROBLEMS: (1) THOSE PRODUCTS ARE HIGHLY TOXIC AND ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE SHIPPED BY UPS AND FEDEX. WITHOUT HAZMAT LABEL (2) ONCE YOU ADDED THE CATALYST THE POT LIFE OF THE INK IS BEING REDUCED TO FEW HOURS (3) THE Plastisol INK DOES NOT FLOW AS GOOD AS THE THE ORIGINAL INK- NYLOOND DOES NOT POSE ALL THOSE PROBLEMS, MENTIONED ABOVE. XENBOND MAY BE USED AS AN ADHESIVE TO BOND FOIL. XENBOND WORKS PERFECTLY AS A STRETCHING AGENT AND IMPROVES GLOSS TO THE CURED PLASTISOL INK. The addition of 15% should be adequate in most cases.
XENBOND FUSES BETWEEN 200-225 F.
For extremely difficult fabrics such as spandex, you may apply XENBOND, flash it, and then apply the poly ink on top, and that would help in bondability and stretchability.
