Plastisol PU Additive
Plastisol PU additive introduces polyurethane chemistry into standard plastisol systems, converting conventional plastisol inks into flexible, stretch-resistant formulations suitable for elastic and synthetic fabric substrates. The PU modifier bonds within the plastisol matrix during cure to increase film elasticity and improve adhesion to non-absorbent synthetic surfaces including 100% polyester, nylon, and nylon-spandex composites. Addition rates of 10–20% transform standard inks into stretch-compatible formulations.
Key Applications
- Converting standard plastisol inks for stretch fabric compatibility
- Improving adhesion on polyester and nylon substrates
- Activewear and sportswear printing without purchasing dedicated PU inks
- Enhancing flex and elongation properties of cured print films
Frequently Bought Together
Plastisol Reducer
Plastisol reducer is a plasticizer-based additive that lowers the viscosity and body of plastisol inks to improve flow characteristics and facilitate printing through high mesh counts or fine detail screens.
Screen PrintingPlastisol Softener
Plastisol softener additive is a low-migration plasticizer blend designed to reduce the stiffness and Shore hardness of cured plastisol ink films, producing a significantly softer hand feel without compromising washfastness or print durability.
Screen PrintingPlastisol Cure Accelerator
Plastisol cure accelerator is a chemical catalyst additive that lowers the effective gelation and full-cure temperature of plastisol inks, enabling complete fusion at belt temperatures 15–25°C below the standard cure threshold.
