PRINTPERFEKT® AM 5

Characterization Ready for use preprint paste preferably applied as sublimation inhibitor

Chemical Composition Aqueous base paste with filling agents, compound of synthetic
dispersions, thickener and additives

Supplied Form Black, medium viscosity paste

Ionic Character Anionic

pH Value 7.5 – 8.5

Storage If stored properly in a cool place between + 5 and + 40 °C in closed


original containers, the product will hold for about 12 months. Protect
from frost and excessive heat. Opened containers must be closed
again tightly.

The above given values are product describing data. Please consult the ‘delivery specification’ for binding product
specifications. Further data about product properties, toxicological, ecological data as well as data relevant to safety can be
found in the safety data sheet.

Properties

PRINTPERFEKT® AM 5 neither contains formaldehyde nor releases it during fixation. Therefore, the strict
demands of various ecological labels, e.g. Öko Tex Standard 100 (Product Class I) and Global Organic Textile
Standard (GOTS) can be fulfilled this way.

Film Properties / Fabric Handle

PRINTPERFEKT® AM 5 is applied as preprint in combination with PRINTPERFEKT® pastes, e.g.


PRINTPERFEKT® WHITE 680, on highly subliming dark synthetic fabrics (polyester, polyester/cotton fabrics)
dyed with disperse dyestuffs. Despite the high filling agent concentration, PRINTPERFEKT® AM 5 hardly
influences the fabric handle of the prints. Depending on the fabric quality and the fixation terms the inhibiting
effect may perhaps be insufficient.

Application Technique

Processing/ Fixation

PRINTPERFEKT® AM 5 is ready for printing and ought to be stirred up before use.

Fixation is usually carried out by means of dry heat within the temperature range of 140 – 160 °C.
The lower the fixation temperature and the shorter the fixation time, the lower the dyestuff migration.

Additives and Auxiliaries

TUBIPRINT RETARDER

If necessary, 2.0 – 5.0 % of this retarder are added to reduce the drying speed into the printing screens and to
improve simultaneously the printing properties. High concentrations may slow down the drying and fixation
process which may then have to be adjusted.

Diluting/Thickening In general not required; if necessary, the viscosity can be decreased by


adding small amounts of water (up to 10 %). The viscosity can be increased
by homogeneously stirring in 0.1 - 0.5 % TUBIVIS DRL 170.

Cleaning of Working Utensils Immediately with cold water. On prolonged stoppages during printing the
screens have to be kept moist or cleaned intermediately. Dried-in paste
rests can be softened with common detergents and then rinsed with a
strong water jet; cured paste rests can only be removed mechanically.

Printing Process Applicable in all common screen printing processes with PES monofilament
screen gauzes of 34 - 43 S/T depending on design and fabric quality.

The preprint paste ought not to be printed with the same screen mesh as
the subsequent colours in order to avoid a moiré effect.

Drying / Fixation 140 – 160 °C, 10 – 3 min

Can be carried out in one or in separate working steps. For achieving the best
possible fastness properties a fixation of the printing inks by heat treatment is
necessary.

Water vapour arising during the drying and fixation phase must be
permanently drawn off by means of an adequate ventilation. By doing so, an
insufficient fixation of the printing inks due to moisture accumulation in the
drying or fixing zone is avoided.

When fixing with radiant heat or other sources of energy, meaningful pretrials
are required.

Recommendation for Use

Before going into production we recommend making it a rule first to test the suitability of the print pastes for the
substrates to be used as to wetting, adhesive power, fastness properties, thermostability and processing
parameters and to control everything during production, too.
