LBX NP (Non-Phthalate) is a liquid plasticizer used for reducing the viscosity of standard plastisol inks.
The recommended proportion is 1% to 5% by weight.
Please Note: LBX is a non-curable viscosity modifier and if used in excess will cause fusing or curing problems. LBX should not be used in any low bleed inks as it will greatly lower the bleed resistance in those inks.
Recommended Fabrics:
Match the reducer being used with the characteristics of the ink being modified.
For Example, LO-Bleed Reducer with Low Bleed Inks.
Screen Mesh:
Determined by the ink the reducer is mixed with
Emulsion:
Any direct or indirect emulsion or capillary film in the 35 to 70 micron range
Squeegee:
60-70 Durometer; Sharp, beveled or round depending on ink used
Cure Temperatures:
Determined by ink the reducer is mixed with
Clean-Up:
Any Eco-friendly plastisol screen wash
Storage of Ink Containers:
65° to 90°F - Avoid storage in direct sunlight; Keep containers well sealed
