Properties:
- Screen printing ink for textiles made of synthetic and natural fabrics, polyurethane foam material
- Matt, semi-opaque, quick drying, 2 component ink system, weather and wash resistant
Substrates:
- Polyamide (PA)
- Textile synthetics
- Cotton
Auxiliaries:
| H2 | Hardener | 10 % |
| UKV1 | Thinner | 5 - 15 % |
| UKV2 | Thinner | 5 - 15 % |
| SA1 | Surface Additive | 3 - 5 % |
| STM | Thickening Agent | 1 - 2 % |
| SV1 | Retarder | |
| UR3 | Cleaner (flp. 42°C) | |
| UR4 | Cleaner (flp. 52°C) | |
| UR5 | Cleaner (flp. 72°C) |
Ink adjustment:
Mara Flor TK is a 2-component ink system. Prior to printing, it is essential to add hardener / adhesion modifier in the correct quantity and to stir homogeneously. When using hardener, the processing and curing temperature must not be lower than 15°C as irreversible damage can occur. Please also avoid high humidity for several hours after printing as the hardener is sensitive to humidity.
Pre-reaction time
It is recommended to allow the ink/hardener mixture to pre-react for 15 minutes.
Pot Life
The ink/hardener mixture is chemically reactive and must be processed within 8 h (referred to 20-25 °C and 45-60 % RH). Higher temperatures reduce the pot life. If the mentioned times are exceeded, the ink's adhesion and resistance may be reduced even if the ink still seems processable.
Drying:
| overprintable | 20 °C | 20 min |
| 60 °C | 5 min | |
| 120 °C | 3 min | |
| stackable | 20 °C | 60 min |
| 60 °C | 20 min | |
| 120 °C | 10 min | |
| final hardness | 20 °C | 5 days |
The times mentioned vary according to the substrate, the ink film thickness, the drying conditions and the selection of the auxiliaries used. Generally, an extended drying time is necessary when overprinting the ink. For multiple printing, please note that the film should not be completely cured before being overprinted.
If cured at a room temperature of 20 °C, the ink film has to be overprinted within 24 hours. Heat-activated intermediate curing is possible at 60 - 80 °C for 5 min.
Printing parameters:
All types of commercially available fabrics and solvent-resistant stencils can be used. We re-commend a fabric between 48–70 and 68-64.

Parallel to physical drying, i. e. the evaporation of the solvents used, the actual hardening of the ink film is caused by the chemical cross-linking reaction between ink and hardener. The standard values concerning progressive cross-linking reactions (hardening) of the ink film are as follows:overprintable 20 °C 20 min 60 °C 5 min 120 °C 3 min stackable 20 °C 60 min 60 °C 20 min 120 °C 10 min final hardness 20 °C 5 days The times mentioned vary according to the substrate, the ink film thickness, the drying conditions and the selection of the auxiliaries used.
