Application: Apply DC-Pink Emulsion to a clean, degreased, and dried screen with a scoop coater. Be sure to use appropriate application techniques. It’s recommended you eliminate any UV light from entering the room and work under a yellow light.

Exposure Times:

• 120 seconds with LED Light
• 12 - 13 minutes with 500w Halogen Light

Drying:

• 86 ° to 104 °F (30 ° to 40 °C)
• 30% to 50% humidity
• Good Air Circulation

Shelf Life & Storage:

✔️Pro Tips:

• Always use distilled water to mix the Diazo sensitizer.
• Prep your screen before coating with Ecotex® Hyper Haze
• Eliminate any UV light from entering the room and work under a yellow light.
• Use the sharp edge of your scoop coater
• Make sure the screen is completely dry before coating the emulsion
• Make sure emulsion is completely dry before printing
• Keep the emulsion lid on tight to preserve air and light leaks
• Gently mix the emulsion each time before use to help extend the life
• Write down the day you opened the emulsion on the bottle to better keep track of your chemicals.
• Keep in a cool area, the emulsion will break down much faster in heat. Keeping emulsion in a fridge can help to give a slightly extended shelf life, however, emulsion that has gotten to the point of freezing will no longer work properly and must be replaced
