PLAST WHITES

PLAST ECOWHITE

Plastisol white, designed for printing opaque backgrounds characterized by a high degree of whiteness, a soft and elastic hand. The product is characterized by its quick drying under flash lamps and excellent printability, which allows the user to work even with frames with a high number of threads. It is advisable to print the product as it is, as any cuts could compromise the speed of drying and coverage. The product is also suitable as a final white.

ZDHC LEVEL 3 INDITEX A A

PLAST FAST FLASH WHITE

Opaque white plastisol ink, phthalate-free, designed for printing covering backgrounds with a soft and elastic final hand. Ideal product for use in prints with intermediate drying using flash lamps as, thanks to the particular formulation, it is extremely quick to dry and does not occur under any subsequent flashes. The product can also be used as a final white, characterized by a high degree of whiteness and an opaque effect that brings out any subsequent overprinted colours.

PLAST WHITE AG

Plastisol white, designed for printing opaque backgrounds characterized by a soft, elastic hand and an extremely smooth surface, which brings out the overprinted colours. The product is also suitable as a final white.

PLAST WHITE BLEEDING REDUCER

Plastisol white for bottoms and finishing, mainly developed to avoid the phenomenon of migration of
synthetic fabrics during the drying phase and after printing.

PLAST WHITE EL

Plastisol white, designed for printing opaque backgrounds characterized by a soft, elastic hand and an extremely smooth surface that brings out the overprinted colours. Its formulation makes it particularly suitable for printing elastic substrates such as lycra, cotton jersey and blends containing elastomers. The product is characterized by the rapid drying under flash lamps and the formation of very elastic films that make it usable also as a final white and in transfer printing.

PLAST WHITE FLASH

Plastisol white for printing opaque backgrounds characterized by a high degree of whiteness, a soft, elastic hand and an extremely smooth surface, which brings out the overprinted colours. The product was developed for prints with intermediate drying using flash lamps, as its particular formulation allows for quick drying and does not recur under subsequent flashes. The product is characterized by a high degree of whiteness which makes it suitable also as a final white.

ZDHC LEVEL 3 INDITEX A A

PLAST WHITE LF

Plastisol white, designed for printing covering backgrounds characterized by a soft, elastic hand and an extremely smooth surface, which brings out the overprinted colours. The product is characterized by its quick drying under flash lamps and excellent printability, which allows the user to work even with frames with a high number of threads. Its special formulation guarantees complete polymerization at 130°C, while maintaining the characteristics of the textile substrate on which it is applied unaltered: it is therefore ideal for printing fabrics that cannot be polymerized at higher temperatures as they would present problems of colour variation or shrinkage. The product is also suitable as a final white.
