TECHNICAL INFORMATION

CL00221VWP is a press ready waterbased primer suitable for roto printing onto metallised films for subsequent printing with conventional printing inks. It is particularly suited for applications where heat resistance is required.

PROPERTIES:

CL00221VWP is suitable for priming metallised films such as the Mobil Metallyte range of films. The primer is particularly suitable for applications where heat resistance is required. We do also recommend printing a heat resistant overlacquer to protect the printed and unprinted areas. Supply viscosity: 16-17 Seconds Zahn 2 Cup @ 25 Deg C Non Volatile content: 10-10.5 % pH: 9.0 - 9.5

APPLICATION:

The varnish should be applied at a dry filmweight of 0.4 - 0.7 gsm by the gravure process. Typically this could be achieved with an electoromechanically engraved cylinder of 90 lines/cm, 30µm cell depth.
