SUBSTRATES
Metal: Test metal prior to production. Use up to 5% KP-2001 Metal etch thinner to improve adhesion.
Plastics: Especially acrylics (Plexiglas, Lucite), vinyl sheets, Scotchlite reflective tapes, topcoated polyester, polycarbonates, styrene.
Top coatings affect adhesion. Avoid Polyethylene.
Glass: Recommended for first or second-surface printing (depending on application); can be used for second-surface graphics on glass prior to mirroring/silvering process.
Other Substrates: Coated paper, foam boards and wood.

Drying
KP Lacquers dry through solvent evaporation. Fresh air volume is more of a factor in dry time than temperature.
Force Dry:
For high volume air dryer (3000 - 5000 cfm, equipped with air knives) at 100 -120°F: 30 - 60 seconds.
Air Dry: 15 - 45 minutes depending on air circulation and temperature.
Equipment: Batch oven with convection air or industrial conveyor dryer (non-textile) are preferred. lR panels may provide sufficient cure if belt will accommodate parameters above.
