Inks for Metal

Catalysed screen inks are a versatile range of inks possessing outstanding adhesion and chemical resistance. These are two-pack inks which when cured form a hard heat and chemical resistant film, which can be produced in a gloss or matt finish depending on the hardener used. They may be air dried or stoved and are suitable for use on most metals, glass and some plastics.

Single Pack Stoving Inks are a range of inks which are based on resins which when stoved produce gloss prints with great hardness, combined with excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. These inks are single pack and do not require the addition of catalyst. Since they only cure on stoving, problems normally associated with catalysed inks, such as curing in the screen are eliminated. This product is made to order.
