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. It is formulated to maintain the cure temperature requirements and adhesion properties of the base ink when used within recommended addition rates (typically 2–8% by weight). Overuse can reduce opacity and washfastness, so precise measurement is essential.
Key Applications
- Reducing ink viscosity for fine-detail and high-mesh printing
- Improving ink flow through 160–230 mesh screens
- Correcting stiff or aged plastisol inks
- Adjusting print body for automatic press high-speed production
Frequently Bought Together
Plastisol 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.
Screen PrintingPlastisol 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.
