QX-7 SBQ Dual-Cure Emulsion Quart is a universal screen printing emulsion formulated by Ulano for excellent resolution in industrial graphics and electronics printing applications, including PCB and conductive trace printing. QX-7 is compatible with UV inks, virtually all solvent-based inks, and some water-based graphic inks, providing broad ink compatibility for demanding industrial screen printing applications.
Designed for sensitivity to UV and near-UV-visible blue light, QX-7 is ideal for computer-to-screen exposure using UV LED and UV laser-based systems. It can also be exposed with traditional metal halide light sources. QX-7 combines very fast exposure speed with wide exposure latitude and very good imaging properties for detailed stencil production.
QX-7 features a 38% high solids content and a light blue color that provides good see-through registration. The finished stencil produces a dry-to-touch, non-tacky surface while offering excellent humidity resistance, superb wet strength, excellent resolution, and strong edge definition. QX-7 also provides reasonable water resistance and can be post-exposed when additional water resistance is required.
Excellent solvent resistance makes QX-7 well suited for industrial and PCB printing applications. The emulsion is resistant to virtually all solvents used in industrial and PCB applications and provides excellent abrasion resistance and durability. During printing, QX-7 exhibits excellent mechanical and chemical durability for demanding production environments.
Innovative colorants help QX-7 stencils resist color fading and stencil discoloration when exposed to water and solvents. Specially optimized sensitizers facilitate excellent exposure-light penetration and thorough curing. QX-7 is also forgiving of poor mesh preparation and offers very easy reclamation, with stencils leaving no latent haze on the mesh after decoating.
QX-7 combines fast exposure with long shelf and coated-screen life, excellent solvent resistance, abrasion resistance, strong imaging properties, and easy reclamation. Its compatibility with UV LED, UV laser-based CTS, and traditional metal halide exposure systems provides screen printers with multiple exposure options for industrial graphics and electronics applications.
The quart size provides a convenient smaller quantity of the same QX-7 SBQ dual-cure formulation for screen printers working with industrial graphics, electronics, PCB, and conductive trace applications.
