    • INK ADDITIVES
    Jacket Catalyst
    Nylon jacket threads are woven very tightly to resist wind and water, but that also makes it hard for plastisol ink to stick. Nylon jackets need a catalyst you mix into your ink just before you print. It's an adhesive that hardens so your ink has to be used in less than 4 hours. This is not a substitute for heat curing, you still have to cure your plastisol ink according to the manufacturers instructions.

  • 155-900-OZ 2 oz
  • 155-900-EA 8 oz

    Catalyst to Ink Ratios:
    By Volume = 16 parts of ink color to 1 part of 900 Catalyst.
    By Weight = 20 parts of ink color to 1 part of 900 Catalyst.
  • Mixing by wieght is highly recommended
  • Use ink immediately after mixing
  • Do not under catalyze
  • The mixed ink pot life of mixed ink is 4 to 8 hours
  • Over catalyzation will shorten pot life of ink

    IC900 Catalyst Stored Upside DownStore your catalyst bottle upside down in a warm dry area. Moisture in the air makes the catalyst harden. On the shelf, any moisture inside the bottle that does harden the catalyst will be on the bottom of the bottle - when you pour from the top. If the room and catalyst are warm it will pour easily. When re-sealing your bottle, place a small piece of plastic food wrap over the opening before you tighten the cap and it won't stick to the bottle.
    • Puff Additive
    Add this to your existing plastisol ink color and turn it into a puff ink.

    • JACKET INK
    IC 900 Jacket Ink
    The 900 Series inks and 900LF Catalyst are Lead Free Plastisol inks formulated to work together to give the best possible adhesion and durability on most nylon substrates.

    IC 900 Series Direct Print Nylon Ink must be mixed with IC 900LF Catalyst prior to use to be effective.

    IC 900 Catalyst 2 oz & 8 oz Catalyst to Ink Ratios:
    By Volume = 16 parts of ink color to 1 part of 900 Catalyst. By Weight = 20 parts of ink color to 1 part of 900 Catalyst.

  • Mixing by weight is highly recommended
  • Use Ink Immediately after mixing
  • Do not under catalyze
  • The mixed ink pot life of mixed ink is 4 to 8 hours
  • Over catalyzation will shorten ink pot life

    IC 900LF Catalyst
    While the 900LF Catalyst will improve the adhesion of standard plastisol inks to problem fabrics, conventional plastisols generally will produce a less durable ink film when used on nylon. We recommend using IC900 Series Inks for nylon.

    IC900 Catalyst Stored Upside DownStore your catalyst bottle upside down in a warm dry area. Moisture in the air makes the catalyst harden. On the shelf, any moisture inside the bottle that does harden the catalyst will be on the bottom of the bottle - when you pour from the top. If the room and catalyst are warm it will pour easily. When re-sealing your bottle, place a small piece of plastic food wrap over the opening before you tighten the cap and it won't stick to the bottle.
