Lancer Group’s STI7550 Silicone High-Opacity Mixing Base is a high-opacity silicone rubber mixing base that when mixed with Evolution Pigment Concentrates produces Pantone, STI7533 standard colours, Pantone colours, or custom colours. Inks produced with this base will exhibit high-stretch characteristics and resist cracking on 100% polyester performance wear fabrics. Even though ink colours mixed with this base will have high-opacity and bleed-resistance; for dark colours, sub-dye polyester and other fabrics known for dye migration, it may be necessary to either back the colours with STI7581 White, STI7911 Defender Black Dye Blocker or both. Multiple coatings of direct emulsion, capillary films to produce thicker stencils, or a print/flash/print technique during printing may be necessary to achieve desired effect. Note: This ink must be catalyzed prior to printing.

CAUTION
Always test finished prints for curing, adhesion, opacity, bleed-resistance and desired look prior to beginning full production runs. Lancer Group International cannot guarantee the results or back claims that this ink will test PVC-free or phthalate-free if any additive other than an additive manufactured by Lancer Group International is used to modify this ink. Test results by a third-party laboratory verifying all components used to produce this ink are PVC-free, phthalate-free and lead-free are available upon request.
