8400 Series CVIM Screen Ink has been formulated to meet requirements of the insert mold decorating process. 8400 has flexibility for forming and post-form trimming, resistance to wash out during the molding process and adhesion to polycarbonate injection mold resin. Overprinting the 8400 with the 8449 Tie-Coat promotes adhesion to other injection resins such as ABS, PMMA and PVC.
8400 Series ink is for second surface printing on polycarbonate, polycarbonate blend, or pre-treated polyester films which will be formed then molded in the insert mold decorating (IMD) process.
The addition of NB72 Catalyst or NB80 Adhesion Promoter is necessary for in-mold decorating applications.
