Benefits:
Ecotex® AP Blue Emulsion by Screen Print Direct® is an all-purpose ready-to-use photo emulsion that holds excellent detail. Ecotex® Emulsion is a pre-sensitized photo emulsion that works with UV and plastisol ink systems. Our photo emulsion works great with most exposure units. We do not recommend this photo emulsion with a weak light source/DIY unit or an exposure unit that uses black light.
Features:
Photo emulsion screen printing can be tricky and if you still need help trying to find out which is right for you take our emulsion quiz. This quiz will help you determine which emulsion you need for the project at hand. If you want to learn more about emulsion types and decipher for yourself which emulsion is better take a look at our emulsion guide - Which Emulsion To Use?
Emulsion Instructions:
1. Apply AP Blue Emulsion to clean, degreased, and dried screen with a scoop coater. Be sure to use appropriate application techniques.
Note: Keep in mind you need to eliminate any UV light from entering the room. Work under yellow or red light to ensure the photo emulsion does not start the emulsion process early.
2. Allow the emulsion to dry on the screen, shirt side down, until dry to the touch. We recommend letting the photo emulsion dry overnight. Drying specifications can be found below.
3. Expose Emulsion. Time will vary depending on the unit, we have recommended times below. If not using the units mentioned below we highly recommend using an exposure calculator to help dial in exposure times faster than a trial and error method. You can find exposure calculators here.
4. Once you have printed with your screen clean the ink off the screen with Plastisol Press Wash or Plastisol Screen Wash, differences are detailed below. If you plan on reusing this stencil do not reclaim it. If you are done with this stencil, reclaim the screen with Ecotex Emulsion Remover. Do not leave remover on the screen longer than a minute or the emulsion will lock onto the screen. For more instructions on photo emulsion remover please visit the listing.

Trouble getting this to wash out correctly just bought a new gallon followed their recommendations to the t never had this issue before with the same brand same emulsion
I've been using Chroma Blue by ChromaLine and decided to give this item a try and I haven't been able to get a decent stencil. I've tried on 5 occasions with different drying times and when it comes to washing out the stencil, the emulsion starts coming off once the water is applied. I thought I was doing something wrong so I tried my older emulsion (Chroma Blue) and I had no issues with it. I've let the screen dry anywhere from 24 hours up to 48 hours and the emulsion will not stick. Too bad I can't send the gallon back, now I'm stuck with unused emulsion. I'll just stick to buying my inks from you all.
I couldn’t get this one to work for me. I’m used to using the WR Blue Diazo Emulsion by Ecotex and I like it so much more. No matter what I tried this seemed to expose when immediately exposed to light. I need some grace period for the type of set up im working with. I know now that I just need to stick to what’s been working for me.
Love this product. Was so easy to wash off. Images came out sharp.
This emulsion has become my overall go-to. Easy to use and produces great stencil.
