Permaset AQUA screen print ink

PERMASET AQUA®- a water-based, environmentally friendly and solvent-free screen printing ink for natural and synthetic textiles - a revolution among screen printing colors. Selected pigments provide an intense, luminous opaque color. Thanks to a novel polymer that binds the pigment to the fabric, it provides an exceptionally soft feel while being particularly wash and abrasion resistant and even suitable for dry cleaning. The ink colours have a light fastness of at least 6/8 on the blue wool scale - most colours even received an 8/8 rating.

Can also be used on paper, linoleum, wood, model printing and other non-porous surfaces.

Available in normal opaque / transparent (Permaset Aqua) and opaque / high opaque (Permaset Aqua SuperCover) with particularly good opacity on dark substrates, four metallic effect colours and eight luminous colours and as screen printing paste.

Permaset Permatone has received Soil Association approval in the UK after successfully meeting the requirements of the Global Organic Textiles Standards (GOTS) for inorganic chemical raw materials for use in organic textile processing.

Specialty products:

• PHOSPHORESCENT GREEN: Enables a "Luminance in the Dark" effect.
• PERMA PUFF: Heat activated 3D effect. Can be used with standard colours or with pigment concentrates

The Permaset Foil FX series:

• consists of 4 glossy metallic colours (silver, gold, copper and blue)
• most effective on dark backgrounds, but also on white or light backgrounds interesting visual effects can be achieved
• Due to the large grain size, a "normal" 43T (110 tpi) network cannot be used. A more wide-meshed net such as 20 or 22T (50-55 tpi) is required.
• Due to the grain size, abrasion resistance and washfastness are not given

White tones:

• STANDARD WHITE particularly opaque due to high titanium dioxide content, but slightly less soft to the touch.
• SUPERCOVER WHITE is an opaque opaque white. It has the highest content of titanium dioxide pigments and binders for use on dark pigments. Excellent opacity in a water-based ink
• FIRST DOWN WHITE is used by professional printers as a base for printing on dark fabrics to obtain brilliant colors with a soft feel.
