Marabu Concentrates




The concentrates have been formulated to permit their universal use in a broad range of binders for screen printing and pad printing applications. The adhesion, drying capacity, degree of gloss and chemical resistance of the printed film are determined by the binder used.

Characteristics 

  • Compatible with 1 & 2 component inks
  • High gloss (depends on degree of binder gloss)
  • Can be mixed with colored ink lines
  • 3 colors
Durability:

High-gloss bronzes stand out by virtue of their extreme surface durability and rub-resistance. As a result, no further protective varnishing is required. Given the use of a suitable varnish, all high-gloss bronzes are capable of undergoing laminating and moulding.

Opacity:

Due to the smaller grain size of these bronze concentrates than that of conventional bronze powders, opacity is exceptionally high, even on dark substrates.

Concentrates which can be mixed with bronze binders or printing varnishes containing solvents to produce glossy, mettalic brilliant shades.
Can also add any combination of standard printing ink colors to achieve desired metallic shades.

Ratios:

    We recommend the following mixing ratios:
  • 7 parts varnish to 1 part bronze concentrate
  • A higher opacity (on dark substrates) can be achieved with a mixture ratio of 5:1
  • To obtain a greater yield on light substrates, the mixture ratio can be increased to 10:1.

Note:

    The inks, additives and auxiliaries may behave differently on your substrate and under your printing conditions. All products are sold under the express condition that their suitability for the intended use be established by testing before full production runs.
