Screen Chemicals
Murakami Screen Chemistry is formulated to prepare the mesh for emulsion coating. The various products form a compatible system to insure optimum emulsion performance. Murakami chemistry produces less pinholes, fewer fish eyes, as well as strong emulsion adhesion to mesh and complies with local government agencies’ air quality requirements.
Screen Cleaners: Murakami screen cleaners cover any screen cleaning need. These screen cleaners form part of a system of screen preparation products designed to prepare mesh for a new job.
Emulsion Reclaiming: Murakami emulsion removers are available in a ready for use, a concentrate, or as SMP powder for reclaiming.
Screen De-hazers: Previous print runs can stain mesh with the print image. This image can affect the coating of emulsion or show up in the next print run as a ghost print within the new print. De-hazers remove these images from the mesh and leave it ready for coating. Recent print runs can be removed with HR-701, for very difficult to remove images HR-700 is a stronger alternative.
Murakami Degreaser: DGR-801 is formulated to clean the mesh of contaminants and leave the mesh PH balanced. Murakami degreasers help the emulsion coat and adhere better than standard degreasers or off the shelf products. Offered in ready to use or in a concentrate (MS-Degreaser Concentrate).
Murakami Hardeners: When extreme resistance is required, it is sometimes easier to obtain by surface treatments rather than by the formulation of a given screen printing emulsion. Emulsion hardeners can raise water resistance of screen, increase durability for printing with solvent-based inks or for printing in high humidity conditions, or in a case where physical abrasion resistance is required. If using PVA-SBQ emulsions, try adding diazo instead for increased water based and discharge ink resistance.
