Hardener is also known as ink cross-linker. The hardener is added to pad printing ink to increase mechanical adhesion and increase abrasion and chemical ink resistance once cured.
Different types of inks use different types of hardeners. Pad printing silicone inks use catalysts. The catalyst volcanizes the silicone ink. This is different that hardeners, which harden the printing ink.
Solvent is used to alter the inks viscosity and helps in the transfer of pad printing ink from the silicone printing pad to the substrate. Different solvents have different evaporation rates. Pad printing solvents vary by evaporation rate and should be chosen based on the environment in which they are to be used. Note that different climatic conditions will call for different solvents. It is important to note the environment, substrate, and print speed when choosing a pad printing inks solvent.
