The ST Series is a high-opacity ink designed for screen and pad printing on soft-touch materials, rubber, and apparel. This ink offers durability and flexibility, making it an excellent ink for printing on textiles.
As an apparel printing ink, once cured, it withstands multiple industrial washing cycles. This versatility is what makes it the ideal ink for printing care labels on T-shirts, shoes, and industrial and soft-touch promotional products.
Furthermore, adding the hardener significantly increases the ST Series ink film’s resistance to mechanical wear. Even after numerous washings, this printing ink will not fade due to our proprietary fade-resistant pigments. The pot life of the ink-hardener-solvent mixture is 6–8 hours at room temperature (70°F and 40–65% RH). For additional information, please refer to the TDS.
Like all other Natron® printing inks, the ST series falls under the non-toxic (NT) classification due to the absence of heavy metals or harmful chemicals. For more information, please refer to our safety data sheets, which comply with both EU and US regulations. Additionally, the product label prominently displays the primary indications.
The Natron ST pad printing ink is also available in six neon (fluorescent) colors, four metallic colors, and 23 high-opacity standard colors. All colors in this ink series are intermixable.
