- Coverage
Using 390 monofilament polyester mesh, Lustercure LC 10-400 will yield an average of 3200 square feet per gallon.
- Additives
To lower the viscosity which will enhance the transfer of the ink through the screen, use Thinner #1 (Diluent). To increase curing speeds add Activator #3 (Sensitizer). To eliminate bubbles resulting from the screening process, add Anti-Bubble #2.

- Special Notes
All UV inks and coatings are sensitive to contamination. Use only new screens or those previously used for UV printing. Do not add any conventional ink or solvents to the inks. They are most likely not compatible and will destroy all properties.
- Film Thickness
- Recommended 0.4 to 0.6 mil (10-15 microns).
- Directions for Use
Pretest for adhesion to all substrates prior to production printing, as well as, other properties to determine suitability. Mix well prior to each use.; Surface - A clean dry surface is preferred for superior adhesion.; Mesh - Monofilament polyester or nylon, 350-390 mesh per inch recommended, Acceptable 305-420 mesh per inch. (Open area should not exceed 30%).; Stencil - Lacquer proof, most direct or direct/indirect work well.; Squeegee - An 80 durometer (Shore A Hardness) polyurethane is recommended. It should be well sharpened.; Screen Wash Up - A special high flash point wash containing no hydrocarbon solvents should be used, such as KOLORCURE'S UVW-80 Screen Wash.; Screening equipment - Hand, semi-automatic, or fully automatic presses.
- Application Methods
- Screen Coating
- Wipe
- Shelf Life (77°F)
- 6 months
- Storage and Handling
All KOLORCURE photopolymer inks and coatings should be stored in a cool dry area: 80°F (27°C) or below. Keep these inks and coatings away from direct sun light and indirect white light. Do not use these inks and coatings in areas having fluorescent lights overhead. Keep these inks and coatings away from internal heat sources.
- Recommended Substrates
LC 10-400 Lens Coat has excellent adhesion to polycarbonate and print treated or top coated polyester used in the nameplate and membrane switch industry.
- Curing
Lustercure LC 10-400 cures in air upon brief exposure to a focused high intensity ultraviolet light source. A standard 200-300 watt per inch medium pressure mercury vapor lamp should be used. For an optimal cure a 185-215 millijoule window is required. In addition faster curing speeds can also be achieved by adding 3-5% liquid sensitizer.
