LX-892    Extremely Abrasion Resist for flat or cylinder screens

MSDS Product Fact Sheet Technical Data Sheet

LX-892 is extremely resistant to abrasion and holds up very well under shop conditions of high temperature and ambient humidty. LX-892 is formulated to produce stencils that are extremely resistant to the pastes and inks used in the ceramics industry, using flat or cylindrical screens. It is particularly suitable for printing floor tiles, single-, double-, or triple-fired glazed tiles, and porcelainized stoneware. It is very resistant to water- and solvent-based mediums, and blends used in the ceramic industry for direct printing or decals. It can also be used for many other demanding mediums printing such as water-based inks for textiles.

L X-892 can be catalyzed using Hardener D to make stencils resistant for longer printing runs. Hardener D is a solution developed especially to produce a chemical polymerization of the stencil that does not damage screen mesh. Reinforced screens can be very hard to reclaim. Before reinforcement, however, screens can be reclaimed easily using one of the stencil removers manufactured by Ulano: Stencil Remover Nos. 4, 42, 44, or 5.

Thanks to its very high solids content and medium-high viscosity, it produces stencils of high resolution with excellent definition, providing a superior build up of emulsion with each coating pass, excellent mesh bridging on coarse mesh, as well as rapid drying.

LX-892 is blue for easy see-through registration and inspection on white or dyed mesh It turns brown when sensitized and when properly exposed, LX-892 will revert to its original blue color, serving as a built-in indicator of proper exposure.
