NPT HO MATTE BASE
EH0542 NPT HO Base is formulated as a press-ready non-phthalate plastisol base for mixing colors using C3 Color Boosters and printing on 100% Cotton or over a NPT low bleed underlay when printing on poly/cotton blends. Short body and very low wet tack for easy printing with no build-up. Fast shearing action means higher press speeds. Easy to use, helps maintain printable viscosity when mixed with C3 Color Boosters. Mixed colors will print with a satin finish.
Instructions:Mix EH0542 NPT HO Base with C3 Color Boosters and print directly onto substrates. EH0542 is normally printed through mesh ranges from 86-280 mc in. (34-110 mc. CM.) Recommend 70-80 Durometer squeegee with sharp edge for maximum definition. Proper cure is achieved when garment reaches 320ºF (160°C.).
Recommendation:Claira Colors™, bases, modifiers and additives should be mixed in clean vessels using clean mixer blades and utensils. Any contamination from other ink sources or non approved additives could make Claira Colors™ test positive for the restricted phthalates. Do not dry clean, bleach, or iron the printed image.
