Key Features
Key Features and Benefits
Superior Adhesion on Challenging Substrates
Toucan Too TCT inks are engineered for versatile adhesion, making them a go-to solution when printing on a wide array of difficult materials, including:
- Primed and uncoated metals
- Enamelled surfaces
- Glass
- Various plastics (e.g., polycarbonate, ABS, PVC)
- Printed circuit boards (PCBs)
- Laminates and composite woods (e.g., MDF, hardboard) This wide substrate compatibility makes the TCT Series suitable for industrial, decorative, and electronic applications.
Two-Pack System for Enhanced Performance
The system requires mixing with a hardener/catalyst prior to printing. This chemically reactive ink cures through a crosslinking process, resulting in a tough, durable ink film with excellent chemical and physical resistance.
Outstanding Chemical Resistance
Once cured, Toucan Too TCT inks resist aggressive chemicals including:
- Solvents
- Cleaning agents
- Oils and greases
- Mild acids and alkalis this makes them highly suitable for industrial labelling, control panels, appliance decoration, and other functional applications.
Exceptional Physical Durability
The cured ink film demonstrates superior resistance to abrasion, scuffing, and handling wear, ensuring long-lasting print quality even under harsh conditions.
Precision Printing Capabilities
Suitable for fine-line and solid-area screen printing, the ink system supports applications such as:
- Control panels and fascia graphics
- PCB markings
- Nameplates and tags
- Decorative glass and metal ware
Many different industries use this product such as:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Electronics and PCB
- Appliance and White Goods
- Medical Devices and Laboratory Equipment
Usage and Processing Notes:
- Mix Ratio: Must be mixed with a compatible hardener before use (typically supplied by Sun Chemical). Pot life after mixing is limited; only mix as much as needed for immediate use.
- Drying/Curing: Typically air-dried and then cured at elevated temperatures for optimal chemical resistance and performance.
- Screen Mesh: Suitable for a wide range of mesh counts depending on application detail and ink deposit required.
