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. 


Hydro-X Red and Hydro-X Blue are Chromaline's latest water-resistant pure photopolymer emulsion. Dual cure technology built into a ready-to-use formula.  

Hydro-X Brands are revolutionary screen printing emulsions. With extreme resistance to water-based & discharge inks, increased durability, and improved crosslinking, this shockingly good emulsion will prove to be the first premium choice for creating perfect stencils! Preferred coating method is 1x1.

Hydro-X is incredibly fast on LED exposure systems using 405 nm wavelength for better through-cure on new generation equipment, but is still compatible with traditional screen printing exposure systems.

Not sure which color to choose?  Blue will exposure ~10% faster than red.  Red reduces light scatter, resulting in even higher resolution.

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.
