Chromaline CT-R Red Emulsion is a premium ready-to-use pure photopolymer screen printing emulsion engineered for textile printers looking to maximize efficiency while maintaining exceptional stencil quality. Designed specifically for plastisol ink applications, CT-R requires no diazo mixing and delivers rapid exposure and drying times that help streamline screen production. Its bright red color offers excellent contrast on white mesh, making stencil inspection and registration easier throughout the printing process.
Featuring approximately 50% solids content with no inert fillers, CT-R creates durable stencils with excellent mesh bridging, crisp image definition, and accurate reproduction of fine lines, halftones, and detailed graphics. The high solids formulation helps reduce emulsion consumption while producing long-lasting stencils that reclaim easily after production, improving overall screen room efficiency.
For optimal performance, properly degrease screens before coating and apply the emulsion with a quality Scoop Coater. Allow coated screens to dry completely in a clean, dark environment below 104°F (40°C) before exposure. Use a 10-Step Exposure Guide or Exposure Calculator to determine the ideal exposure time for your specific mesh, coating thickness, and exposure unit. After printing, reclaim screens with a quality Emulsion Remover to quickly remove the stencil and prepare screens for reuse.
Whether you're printing athletic apparel, retail garments, promotional products, or detailed textile graphics, Chromaline CT-R Red Emulsion delivers the fast exposure, outstanding image quality, and reliable stencil durability professional screen printers expect.
