Pad Printing Ink Type 411 instructions:

NOTE: Read Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Prior To Use

Ink Type 411 is a two-component ink designed for pad printing on silicone rubber parts.

MIXING / POTLIFE
ITW Trans Tech INK-411 is supplied as a kit with a matched quantity of Hardener. The required mix ratio is (10:1) ten parts by weight of ink to one part by weight of Hardener. Because pigments can settle during storage is suggested that the ITW Trans Tech INK-411 be stirred before use. Add the Hardener into each batch of ink to assure complete dispersion. Mixing may be done by hand with a spatula or by machine. Avoid stirring in an excessive amount of air. When machine mixing, avoid prolonged high speeds.

After mixing, the ink will remain useful for approximately 24 to 48 hours at room temperature. Placing the material in a closed container in a cool (below 50°F) environment will extend the mixed pot life. The separate components may be stored in closed containers up to one year at room temperature (72°F). INK-411 can be dried at 204°C (400°F) for 2 - 6 minutes to achieve 90--95% cure. Adhesion improves with increased post curing.
