LUSTERCURE® LC 20-200 MAR & SCRATCH
LUSTERCURE® LC 20-200 MAR & SCRATCH is a medium viscosity UV curable high gloss coating designed to be applied via the screen printing process. The cured film will provide mar and scratch protection for printed graphics on many substrates. LC20-200 will exhibit outstanding product resistance, surface hardness, and film integrity.

- Coverage
Using 390 monofilament polyester mesh, Lustercure LC 20-200 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. To eliminate "fish eyes" in the wet ink film add Flow Promoter.

- 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).
- Application Methods
- Screen Coating
- 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 20-200 Mar & Scratch will adhere well to PVC and Polycarbonate.
- Curing
Lustercure LC 20-200 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.
