Ulano Platinum is a ready-to-use SBQ-photopolymer direct emulsion formulated for imprinted sportswear printing and other markets (tbc). It resists plastisol inks—including newer, more aggressive, post-phthalate plastisols—and most washup solvents, making it easy to reclaim in automatic equipment or by hand. It is formulated with a gray color that reduces light scattering throughout all spectral range —the major cause of loss of resolution.  Such gray coloration is innovative way for Ulano to further expand the spectrum of possible stencil colorations, where not only it benefits emulsion cosmetically, but also functionally. Such coloration combines good contrast with easy see-through. It is well suited for the certain computer to screen systems, as even with the short pixilated exposures, the stencil, due to innovative gray coloration exposes through well throughout the thickness of the stencils, forming dense crosslinking on the squeegee side of the screen. It is formulated with a gray color that reduces light scattering throughout all spectral range —the major cause of loss of resolution.  Such gray coloration is innovative way for Ulano to further expand the spectrum of possible stencil colorations, where not only it benefits emulsion cosmetically, but also functionally. Such coloration combines good contrast with fairly easy see-through.

 With Platinum, it is possible to use less costly white mesh without the closing up of fine lines and details. 

Despite its anti-halation color, Platinum is ultra-fast-exposing!  It is perfect for shops with high stencil making throughput, as well as shops with fluorescent tubes or other low-intensity light sources. 

Platinum has high viscosity (8,000 – 10,000 centipoises) that improves control when coating screens by hand and makes it a good choice for coarse mesh.  Its high solids content (40-41%) results in better mesh bridging and edge definition, and fast drying.  Platinum stencils are durable, will not become tacky under high humidity conditions, and have excellent wet strength and exposure latitude.  Platinum reduces stencil-making time—in coating (because of its high viscosity), drying (due to its high solids), and exposure (due to its high photo-sensitivity despite its “masking color”). 

Features	Benefits
Gray color	Contrast facilitates stencil inspection Good see-through for visual multicolor registration
Enhanced formulation	Resists water-based textile inks and plastisols Premixed and presensitized
High (40-41%) solids content	Good buildup of EOM per coating stroke Good printed edge definition; fast drying

RD Sensitizing Technology

No Mixing, Stirring, or De-Bubbling Time!

In a major photochemical breakthrough, Ulano Research and Development has introduced RD Sensitizing Technology that functions with our familiar diazo-sensitized and diazo-dual cure emulsions—without the need for diazo! RD Sensitizing Technology products are ready-to-use! Conventional diazo-sensitized products have been on the market for more than 30 years. They are labor-intensive for stencil makers, who have to dissolve diazo in water, wait for the release of any air that has been entrapped, stir the diazo solution into the emulsion, then wait again for at least an hour for the emulsion to de-bubble the nitrogen that the mixing has generated. Diazo is especially vulnerable to heat and humidity influences, which slow its exposure speed and accelerate its aging. Moreover, under hot and humid conditions, unless dissolved very carefully, diazo tends to clump, risking pinholes or incomplete sensitization. Conventional diazo-sensitized products also have a relatively short pot life; they create yellow diazo stains; and the diazo itself is a readily airborne irritant. By eliminating mixing and measuring for customers, Ulano has greatly reduced the possibility of errors—and greatly improved the assurance of highest quality stencils for customers, each and every time. The transition to RD sensitized emulsions, exciting as it is as a technological development, includes significant green advantages and positive environmental impact. On an annual basis, we and our customers will use tens of thousands less diazo bottles and bottlecaps, not to mention the emulsion stirrers we had included with 28-ounce and 1-gallon units! If you don’t need to stir emulsion anymore, you don’t need stirrers! RD emulsions are pre-mixed, and will offer the exposure speed and latitude, resolution, water and solvent resistance, and the ease of decoating of their diazo-sensitized counterparts. In addition, RD will afford longer (18 month) shelf and pot life.
