JAC - Matte Glass & Metal Ink
1. Overview & Applications
The JAC Series is a premium, 1-component, low-temperature baking ink engineered for high-performance applications on rigid substrates. It is defined by its smooth matte finish, low odor profile, and an exceptionally flexible cured film that withstands extreme mechanical stress.
Applicable Substrates: Metals, Glass, Ceramics, specific Painted surfaces, and Thermosetting Resins.
Primary Applications: Integrated ceiling panels, home appliance glass, metal signage, road signs, and ceramics.
2. Physical & Chemical Performance
Testing Conditions: Printed on 0.1mm aluminum plate using a 250-mesh screen (Color: 101 White). Baked at 180°C for 15 minutes, followed by a 48-hour rest at room temperature.
| Gloss Finish | Matte |
|---|---|
| Adhesion (Cross-Hatch) | 3M Tape Peel Test: 100% Retention |
| Mechanical Flexibility | Withstands 0.5mm deep drawing and 90-degree bending without film cracking or flaking. |
| Boiling Water Resistance | Submersed in boiling water for 30 minutes: No abnormalities |
| Acid & Alkali Resistance | Soaked in 5% H₂SO₄ (8 hrs) and 5% NaOH (5 hrs): No abnormalities |
| MEK (Solvent) Resistance | Cotton swab with MEK, 500g load, 20 rubs: No abnormalities |
| Alcohol & Grease Resistance | Alcohol (100 rubs) and Salad Oil (24 hrs soak): No abnormalities |
| Environmental Compliance | Fully complies with EU RoHS heavy metal directives. |

4. Processing & Baking Guidelines
Application Methods
| Process | Thinner Selection & Ratio |
|---|---|
| Screen Printing | Add 20 to 30 parts of JAC-200 (Slow-Dry) or JAC-100 (Fast-Dry) Thinner to 100 parts ink. |
| Spraying | Add 50 to 100 parts of commercial Lacquer Thinner (Tianna Water) to 100 parts ink. |
Matting Adjustment: While JAC naturally dries to a smooth matte finish, users requiring extreme flatness can add 5% - 10% T-60X Matting Paste to the ink.
Strict Baking Parameters
This ink utilizes a heat-reactive resin system. Baking time is inversely proportional to temperature and pattern size.
- Standard Baking Window: 170°C - 190°C for 5 to 15 minutes.
- Maximum Chemical Resistance: Bake at 170°C - 190°C for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Temperature Limits: Absolute Minimum: 150°C (Ink will fail to cure below this). Absolute Maximum: 220°C (Ink will burn or color shift above this).
