International Coatings 901 Nylon White

900 Series Nylon Plastisol Ink is a fast flashing, 2 part ink, specifically formulated for printing on normally hard to print Nylon. The ink's harder finish resists scratching, scuffing and peeling for an extremely durable image. 

It can also be used without catalyst on nonwoven polyporpylene bags (NPB) by adding up to 6% 3804 Low Cure Additive, which reduces cure temperatures down to 275°F (135ºC).

RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Nylon
100% Cotton
Some 50/50 Cotton/Polyester Blends
Nonwoven Polypropylene Bags (NPB)

INK APPLICATION
The 900 Series Nylon Ink must be mixed with the 900 Catalyst before printing on Nylon. Catalyst is available in 2 ounce, 8 ounce, and 1 gallon containers.

The catalyst should be thoroughly mixed in to the ink to the following proportions:
By volume = 16 parts ink to 1 part catalyst
By weight = 20 parts ink to 1 part catalyst

1 ounce of catalyst to 1 pint of ink
2 ounces of catalyst to 1 quart of ink
8 ounces of catalyst to 1 gallon of ink

Ink may be used immediately after mixing. Do not mix more ink than is needed for a job. Do not under-catalyze the ink. Pot life of mixed ink is 4 to 8 hours. Over-catalyzation will shorten the pot life. If printing on cotton, it is not necessary to catalyze the ink. Print it as you would a normal direct print plastisol ink.
