Rutland Barrier Base

ES0266 NPT Barrier Base is a high opaque, low-bleed underbase that has been formulated for maximum opacity and excellent bleed resistance on 100% Polyester. Test of this product has been very successful on various fabrics to include 100% Polyester Jerseys, 100% Polyester Performance fabrics, Rotary Screen printed goods, Sublimated prints, and works to block fabric color migration when printing a clear top coat over a white. NPT Barrier Base is the non-phthalate version of ML0266 Dyno Grey. ES0266 NPT Barrier Base prints with a satin finish and is grey in color similar to Pantone 430 C. High performance underbase for 100% Polyester. Creamy, short body plastisol for easy printing. User friendly, no viscosity modifications necessary. Superior low bleed properties.

Instructions:
Print Barrier Base straight from the container. Barrier Base is user friendly and may be printed through 86-110 mc in (34 - 43 mc cm) mesh range without modifying the viscosity. Print Rutland’s standard White inks on top of the Dyno Grey to have a brilliant White print! Use softer squeegee or thicker emulsion on both the the Barrier base and White screen to insure complete coverage and maximum low bleed properties. A thicker layer of Barrier Base is suggested for severe bleeding fabrics. NOTE: Due to variations in dyed polyesters, any application whether referenced or not in this technical data should be pre-tested for suitability on the actual production fabric and/or consultation sought with Rutland’s Applications Laboratory prior to printing.

Recommendation:
Do not dry clean, bleach, or iron the printed image. Rutland Claira Colors, bases, modifiers, and additives should be mixed in clean vessels using clean mixer blades and utensils. Any contamination from other ink sources or non-approved additives could make Claira Colors test positive for the restricted phthalates.
