Frost thixotropic inks are screen printable coatings used in manufacturing microscopy slides. The inks are heat-curable and solvent resistant. Thin films cure by ramping heat from ambient to 200°C and maintain at 200°C for 20 minutes. The ink may be thinned with triethyl phosphate. Clean up with triethyl phosphate. Store unused ink at room temperature in tightly sealed container. After proper curing, masks have great chemical and solvent resistance. For inks that are optimized for thermal-printers and lazers please contact Cytonix.
