QLT is a ready-to-use, ultra-fast-exposing SBQ-photopolymer emulsion with high solvent resistance. QLT is formulated imprinted sportswear printers with weak light sources to shorten stencil-making time (coating, drying, and exposure). It's 43% solids content help a thick build per coat, reducing the number of coats and drying time.

QLT is highly resistant to most washup solvents and solvent-based inks, making it very easy to reclaim, either in automatic stencil removal equipment or by hand. Stencils made with QLT are extremely wear resistant and will not become tacky under high humidity conditions. Its high viscosity (˜ 8200 CPS) provides good coating control. Its high contrast blue color affords easy stencil inspection.

QLT is presensitized, and must be handled in yellow safe light conditions before exposure.

QX-1 is an SBQ sensitized, hybrid dual-cure emulsion that combines the convenience and shelf life of SBQ with the durability, versatility, and imaging properties of dual-cure emulsion.

QX-1 is compatible with all plastisol, UV, and solvent-based ink systems. Its matte finish virtually eliminates printing problems associated with high and low humidity conditions. QX-1 is formulated to provide wide exposure latitude and is easily reclaimed even if underexposed and used with aggressive inks and washup solvents.

QX-1 is durable and has excellent resolution, good definition, and very good wet strength. 37% solids content provides good stencil build per coat, excellent bridging of coarse mesh, and fast drying.

QX-1 is presensitized, and must be handled in yellow safe light conditions before exposure.

Product Fact Sheet Tech Data Sheet MSDS

QPX is an ultra-fast SBQ photopolymer emulsion for use with commercial projection units. It is recommended for the production of outdoor advertising and other large scale industrial applications. QPX is a ready-to-use, high solids emulsion that requires as few as one coat for a good printed edge, even on coarse mesh. Depending on the projection source, exposure times range from 30 seconds to 6 minutes for 10x to 14x enlargements.

QPX is a very fast exposing SBQ sensitized emulsion. Contact the projector manufacturer for base exposure information. A 21 Step Transmission Gray Scale or Manual Step-Wedge Test is recommended for each magnification, mesh count, and mesh color.

QPX is presensitized, and must be handled in yellow safe light conditions before exposure.
