Xenon EDGE Dual Cure Emulsion

IMPORTANT:  Texsource ships in-stock items as orders are placed, and cannot guarantee that temperature-sensitive items, like emulsions and emulsion removers, will not be exposed to freezing temperatures in transit. Texsource is not responsible for items damaged by exposure to extreme temperatures. 

Xenon EDGE dual cure emulsion is a durable, quick exposing emulsion for use with Plastisol inks.  Pink-to-red in color, it offers excellent durability and image due to its high solids makeup.  It coats smoothly and evenly with pinhole-free coverage, sharp edges, and excellent resolution.  This emulsion should only be handled in yellow light.  No Diazo is needed.  Good solvent resistance for most press washes.  Shelf life is over one year.  

Shelf Life - Approximate shelf life for this emulsion is 24 month (2 years) when stored at room temperature.  It should not be stored at temperatures above 80f (27c) or below 37f (0c).  For best results it should only be stored in its original container. 

Emulsion Exposure Differences
Proper screen exposure must take many factors into account – the emulsion type, coating thickness, exposure unit, etc. As a general guideline for the different emulsion types (diazo, dual cure, and photopolymer) use these times as a reference.

Photopolymer – These are typically the fastest exposing emulsions, with many exposing correctly from 30-50 seconds. The shortest times can be seen when using a newer LED-type exposure unit.

Dual Cure – If you have established a good exposure time with photopolymer emulsions, you can typically add 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) to that time for most dual cure emulsions.

Diazo - If you have established a good exposure time with photopolymer emulsions, you can typically add 210 seconds (3.5 minutes) to that time for most diazo emulsions.

These times will depend heavily on your exposure unit and should only be considered as a starting point.
