ColorGuard Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
White Series: Appliance Glass Printing Solution
This technical guide outlines the professional multi-pass screen printing workflows designed specifically for White Home Appliance Glass. It details two distinct premium finishes: Pearl White and Pure White. These systematic layers guarantee maximum opacity, brilliant aesthetics, and industrial-grade durability against MEK and boiling water.
1. Pearl White Main Color Process
| Pass / Layer | Ink & Components | Mixing Formula | Baking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Pass: Mirror Silver | JM-500B (Standard) or JM-3000A (High Brightness) | Stir thoroughly before use. No additives or hardeners required. | 180°C for 8 mins |
| 2nd Pass: Pearl White | TTG-B Glass Ink + 9002 (Thixotropic Clear) + 9003 (High Viscosity Clear) + Pearl Powder | 100 parts Ink + 15 parts TTG-15 Binder + 3 parts MF Promoter + JD-100 Thinner (moderate). *For boiling water resistance, add 3% E089 Additive. |
180°C for 8 mins |
| 3rd & 4th Pass: White Main Color | TTG-B Glass Ink: 103 (High-Density Extra White) or 103E (High-Density Snow White) | Apply as consistent backing layers. Ensure thorough coverage. | 180°C for 8 mins |
| 5th Pass: Gray Backing (Cover) |
Option A (Glossy): TTG-B FD-Backing White/Gray Option B (High-Abrasion): TTG-FR Dyne Backing Gray (PT-004) |
Option A: 100 Ink + 15 TTG-15 Binder + Thinner. Option B: 100 Ink + 18 TTG-15 Binder + Thinner. *To enhance MEK & chemical resistance, add 0.5% E221 Additive to either formula. |
180-190°C for 10-12 mins |
2. Pure White Main Color Process
| Pass / Layer | Ink & Components | Mixing Formula | Baking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Pass: Mirror Silver | JM-500B (Standard) or JM-3000A (High Brightness) | Stir thoroughly before use. No additives or hardeners required. | 180°C for 8 mins |
| 2nd Pass: Pure White Main Color | TTG-B Glass Ink: 103 or 103E + 30% of 9002 (Thixotropic Clear Varnish) | 100 parts Ink + 17 parts TTG-17 Binder + 3 parts MF Promoter + JD-100 Thinner. *For boiling water resistance, add 3% E089 Additive. |
180°C for 8 mins |
| 3rd Pass: White Main Color | TTG-B Glass Ink: 103 (High-Density Extra White) or 103E (High-Density Snow White) | Apply as a consistent backing layer. | 180°C for 8 mins |
| 4th Pass: Gray Backing (Cover) |
Option A (Glossy): TTG-B FD-Backing White/Gray Option B (High-Abrasion): TTG-FR Dyne Backing Gray (PT-004) |
Option A: 100 Ink + 15 TTG-15 Binder + Thinner. Option B: 100 Ink + 18 TTG-15 Binder + Thinner. *To enhance MEK & chemical resistance, add 0.5% E221 Additive to either formula. |
180-190°C for 10-12 mins |
Important Application Disclaimer: The mixing ratios, binder selection (TTG-15 / TTG-17), and specific additives (E089 for boiling water, E221 for MEK resistance) outlined in this guide are critical for achieving industrial-grade durability. Substrate coatings and shop environments vary. Users must conduct small-batch adhesion and chemical resistance testing to verify compatibility before beginning full-scale appliance glass production.
