Avient Infinite HD Clear 2

Avient™ Specialty Ink INFINITE FX HD CLEAR 2 is a clear developed to create the appearance of glass, gel, water, or high gloss surfaces. HD clear 2 can be used in high density applications or blended with other texture inks to create unique effects. It is also an effective adhesive carrier for foil, flock, and other applications.

PRINTING TIPS

• Use consistent, high-tensioned screen mesh and sharp edged squeegees for best print results. Recommended mesh counts can vary depending on particle size.
• For best HD results, use open mech counts with 200 - 400 micron capillary film and print-flash-print. Use a heavy flood to fully fill the open areas of the stencil with ink then print with medium squeegee pressure
• Print in last position or flash after each print if using multiple screens
• Commonly used as a foil or flock adhesive
• Tintable with plastisol colorants. See Pigment Loading below for suggested tinting percentages. Adjust the % colorant added based on the strength of the colorants and color saturation desired.
• Amber appearance in the bucket but will gain transparency after cure. Achieves good clarity at high ink deposit
• For flock adhesion, print using 70 duro squeegee 86-110 t/in (34-43 t/cm) with 200 micron stencil and then apply the flock fibers onto the wet ink layer and cure at 320° F (160° C)
• For improved flock adhesion, add up to 5% INFINITE FX HUGGER CATALYST. Adding Hugger Catalyst reduces pot life to 4-8 hours
• For foil transfers, print HD clear 2 using 70 duro squeegee and 86-110 t/in (34-43 t/cm) and 2 strokes. Place foil face up with teflon sheet and apply foil with heat press at 330° F (165° C) for 10-12 sec at medium pressure. Cool shirt before peeling foil. HD clear 2 can be used as a foil adhesive after cure with a heat press or with an automatic in-line press foil applications.
