👕 Glass Decoration Application
          Why are Murakami emulsions ideal for Glass Decoration?
            Murakami emulsions are engineered for the high demands of printing on glass with aggressive inks such as enamels, ceramics, and metallics.                    These inks often require post-print curing at high temperatures — while the screen itself is not exposed to heat, the emulsion must endure heavy                solvents, abrasives, and aggressive print cycles during production without breaking down. Murakami emulsions ensure consistent edge definition                and great contact to glass, even on curved or non-flat surfaces.​

  • Excellent solvent and abrasion resistance

  • Strong adhesion to smooth, non-porous glass surfaces

  • High-resolution edge definition for fine patterns or text

  • Compatible with ceramic, enamel, and metallic inks

  • Built for consistent performance in demanding production environments

          What types of glass product utilize screen printing?

  • Architectural and interior glass panels

  • Automotive glass (logos, defroster traces)

  • Mirrors and decorative panels

  • Perfume and cosmetic bottles

  • Touchscreen panels and appliance interfaces

🎨 Graphics Applications
          Why are Murakami emulsions ideal for Roll-to-Roll screen printing?
            Murakami emulsions excel in roll-to-roll (R2R) printing where speed, consistency, and durability are crucial. From flexible electronics and                              packaging to textiles and membranes, Murakami emulsions provide tight registration, high-resolution imaging, and resistance to ink breakdown                  over long production runs.

  • Durable under constant mechanical tension and long runs

  • High definition and edge sharpness on flexible substrates

  • Excellent chemical resistance to solvent, UV, and water-based inks

  • Rapid exposure and reclaim cycles support fast production

  • Consistent coating thickness for fine meshes and detailed graphics

          What products are made by Roll-to-Roll screen printing?

  • 🧵 Textiles

  • Sportswear, transfer films, fashion fabrics

  • Stretch and performance textiles

  • 🎨 Graphics & Packaging

  • Shrink sleeves, holographic or metallic films

  • Decorative laminates, flexible packaging

  • 🔌 Functional & Industrial Films

  • RFID, sensors, wearable electronics

  • Flexible solar cells

  • Medical films and diagnostic membranes

🏭 Industrial Applications
          Why are Murakami emulsions ideal for Rotary Screen Printing?
            Rotary screen printing involves continuous, high-speed production using cylindrical screens — often for textiles, wallpapers, ceramics, and                            nonwovens. Murakami offers emulsions tailored to this process, providing uniform coating, excellent durability, and precise resolution even under                rapid, repetitive cycles.

​

            Murakami’s rotary emulsions are made using SBQ (single-component photopolymer) technology and are completely free of bichromates and                        chromium compounds. This means safer handling, faster exposure times, and easier reclaiming — all while meeting strict environmental and                      workplace safety standards.

  • Uniform coating on rotary mesh for smooth printing

  • Resists breakdown from aggressive inks and washing

  • Maintains fine detail on long print runs

  • Fast exposure and reclaim process

  • No chromium, no bichromates – environmentally safe SBQ formulation

          What products are made by rotary screen printing?

  • Typical rotary printed products:

  • Fashion and technical textiles

  • Nonwoven hygiene and filtration materials

  • Ceramic decals and transfer papers

  • Vinyl wallpapers and interior coverings

  • Industrial laminates and decorative films
