Mix your own screen printing inks from these concentrated pigments using the Selectasine Screen Printing Binders. These ECO pigments can be used in different dilutions to make screen printing inks and paints, and are also effective for colouring pulp when make paper.
The flexibility of the system allows for these waterbased pigments to be intermixed to a complete spectrum of colours plus different effects depending on which Selectasine Screen Printing Binder is used. The binders include opaque binder for dark fabrics and surfaces, a pearlescent binder for shimmering effects or a puff binder for textured screen prints.
The pigment particles are dispersed in an aqueous solution making them easy to blend with your chosen binder; this also helps to prevent clumping. Use up to 6% pigment to screen printing binder to make prints permanent on fabric and paper. Heat set with an iron for 5-6 minutes on the reverse of the fabric to make prints washfast.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place above 5°C and below 25°C. Wash off screens using water and mild detergent.
The formulations are manufactured with ecologically responsible care and are therefore APEO (Alkylphenol ethoxylates) and Ethylenglycol free. Many of the colours meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX, and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). The pigments meet the EU, German and US requirements for limiting PCB and Dioxin/Furan trace contaminations, as well as meeting the ETAD requirements for limiting heavy metal, trace contamination.
Please note: Due to their chemical composition it is not possible for Lemon Yellow and Green to be GOTS compliant. Turquoise Blue is a non-ECO pigment but offered with this group for colour choice.
