20000 Series Epoxy Screen Printing Ink – Air Dry

20000 Series Epoxy Screen Printing Ink is a solvent-based industrial epoxy ink for hard, non-porous substrates — glass, metal, ceramic and pretreated rigid plastics. Catalyzed epoxy chemistry gives it the chemical resistance, adhesion and durability those surfaces demand, where a standard ink would simply wipe off.

⚠ Industrial use only. This is an industrial solvent/epoxy ink for glass, metal, ceramic and industrial products. It is not a textile or garment ink and is not intended for printing on apparel or for skin contact.

35 colors. Quart, gallon and 5 gallon. Made in Hackensack, New Jersey.

Best substrates for the 20000 Series

• Glass — bottles, containers, flat glass, appliance fronts
• Metal — nameplates, panels, treated metal parts
• Ceramic and other hard non-porous rigid surfaces
• Pretreated rigid plastics needing chemical resistance

Catalyst

This is an epoxy system — for maximum adhesion and chemical resistance it is run with a catalyst. Add and mix per the technical data sheet, and only mix what you will print within the pot life. Order the matched catalyst alongside the ink.

Which solvent series do I need?

Substrate	Series
Coroplast / corrugated plastic signs	80000
Pressure-sensitive vinyl — gloss	40000
Pressure-sensitive vinyl — matte	43000
Metal, glass, ceramic, hard non-porous	20000 (you're here)
Polyester film, nameplates, overlays	76000
Flexible / treated plastics, durable outdoor	66000
Vacuum-form / multi-purpose plastics	10000
Industrial maintenance topcoat	30000

Adhesion on solvent inks is substrate-specific. Always run an adhesion and solvent-resistance test on your exact material before a production run.
