QX-5 Red Emulsion

QX-5 Red Emulsion | Fast Exposing QX-5 Red is a universal, ready-to-use, fast-exposing SBQ-photopolymer direct emulsion. Its relatively high viscosity (5000 cps) and solids content (41%) result in better mesh bridging on coarse mesh, and fast drying. Features-At-a-Glance: Fast exposing Fast stencil throughput for high volume shops Dependable polymerization assures durability and ink resistance High (41%) solids content Dries quickly Better mesh bridging on coarse mesh Lower Rz value yields sharper printed edges High viscosity (5000 CPS) Easier to control during coating Solvent Resistant - Resists a wide range of solvent-based inks Moisture Resistant - Will not become tacky under high humidity conditions Red color - Easy stencil inspection, even on colored mesh Shelf life - unopened: 1 year at 70º F. (21º C.)
