TNR ink retarder is a slow thinner for use with Natron NxT, ST, and EK series screen and pad print inks from Boston Industrial Solutions, Inc.
An ink retarder slows down the rate at which screen printing inks dry. Therefore, when screen printing, use the ink retarder to keep the ink wet for an extended period, preventing it from drying on the screens.
When the TNR solvent is added to compatible fast drying pad printing ink solvents, it slows down the evaporation speed. Additionally, it lengthens the ink’s drying time.
Use this ink retarder solvent to control the ink’s viscosity and drying speed. To use this solvent, add 10–30% of TNR solvent to the ink and mix until it becomes uniform.

Certain products complement each other. Here are a few related products.
EK Series pad printing ink for plastic is a high-gloss, easy-to-process, all-purpose 1- or 2-component pad printing ink. This ink is one of our special formulations of AI-selected copolymer resins for printing on plastics. EK adheres to almost all plastic materials on the market today as a one-component ink.
ST pad printing ink is a durable, flexible, and easy-to-print ink suitable for soft touch materials, rubber, apparel, and fibers. It is ideal for tagless label printing, shoe printing, industrial rubber marking, and rubberized promotional products.
The SF solvent is non-toxic, free from heavy metals and phthalates. This solvent is perfect for pad printing and spray coating silicone-based products. The compliance documents are listed below.
During processing, silicone thinner, a silicone fluid or solvent, lowers the viscosity of silicone rubber products. Silicone thinner redices the ink-catalyst or silicone-catalyst mixture and helps it degas faster.
