BLA-3 Glass Screen Printing Ink for Industrial Manufacturing
Single-component industrial screen printing ink engineered for superior adhesion on glass substrates. Eliminates screen clogging while delivering brilliant opacity, scratch resistance, and environmental safety.
High-Efficiency Automated Production Solution
The defining advantage of BLA-3 glass screen printing ink is its extended printing window. Formulated with advanced slow-evaporating solvent carriers, it provides an open time of 30 to 60 minutes without clogging the mesh during press downtime.
As a true single-component glass ink, BLA-3 requires no hardener addition before printing. This eliminates batch waste, minimizes operational error, and ensures stable continuous runs on fully automated and semi-automatic flat or rotary glass printing lines.

Application Guide & Mixing Ratio
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the glass surface is clean, de-greased, and completely dry before printing.
- Thinner Dilution: Add 15% to 30% designated thinner (by weight) to adjust printing viscosity. For spray coating setups, dilute by 50% to 100%.
- Thinner Speed Options: Select LA-1 Fast-Dry for cold environments, LA-2 Medium-Dry for standard operations, or LA-3 Slow-Dry for high ambient temperatures.
- Thorough Stirring: Stir the ink evenly from the bottom of the container for 2-3 minutes before pouring onto the screen frame.
