Allen
Avionics RT012 Ink is a one part, air-drying, semi-paste ink for use on all open
ink plate marking machines for direct or offset printing. White or Black color
inks are available in 4 ounce tubes. Colors can be supplied on special order.
Call factory for availability. Available colors are blue, brown, gray, brilliant
green, orange, red, tan, lavender and yellow. RT012 Ink can be used on almost
any surface, porous or non-porous, such as plastics (polyethylene, epoxy, nylon,
bakelite, phenolic, G10, polyester, melamine), metal, glass, wood, fiberglass,
ceramics, paper, rubber and painted surfaces.
RT012
Ink can be used where very good abrasion resistance is required and where
reduced solvent resistance is acceptable. Drying time depends on the surface
porosity, ink thickness and room environments. Marked surfaces will develop good
handling strength in approximately 12 hours. Best adhesion is gained in 72
hours. To accelerate drying time, RT012 may be temperature cured at the
following schedules:
15 hrs. @ 150°F
(66°C)
4 hrs. @ 200°F
(93°C)
1 hr. @ 250°F
(121°C)
This
ink is ready to use right from the tube. No "setting time".” Mixing may be
required after storage. Using thinners is not recommended. Thinning will
adversely affect this ink. Store in a cool place and use within six months. Only
the purchaser can determine the suitability of this ink for any application.
MT260 INK
(RoHS Compliant)

Allen
Avionics MT260 Ink is a two-part epoxy ink for use on all open ink plate
machines for direct or offset printing. White or Black color inks are available
in 8 fluid ounce kits. Each kit consists of two components: Part "A" and Part
"B" totaling 8 fluid ounces. Inks are packaged in plastic jars. Colors are
available on special order and are supplied in the same 8 fluid ounce kits.
Standard EAI colors are available: red, orange, brown, yellow, green, blue,
violet, gray and silver.
MT260
Ink can be used on all non-porous surfaces such as plastics (epoxy, nylon,
bakelite, phenolic, durez , melamine), metals and glass. MT260 Ink will air dry
to a tough, scratch-resistant film in 24 hours at room temperature. For
applications where resistance to solvents and abrasion is most important, one of
the following elevated temperature cure schedules should be used:
24 hrs. @ 70°F
(21°C)
4 hrs. @ 180°F
(82°C)
1
hr. @ 300°F
(149°C)
20 min. @ 350°F
(177°C)
When
MT260 is heat cured, it will exhibit superior adhesion, excellent resistance to
abrasion and solvents such as acetone, alcohol, ether, freon and most other
flux-removing solvents.
Meets:
CID A-A56032A Type l and II. Formerly: MIL-I-43553b
MT260 Mixing instructions:
For all colors except silver, use 1 part "A" to 1 part "B" by weight. For
silver, see mixing instructions enclosed with ink. AFTER MIXING, A 30-MINUTE
"WAIT PERIOD" IS REQUIRED BEFORE USE to achieve the best results. Under
normal conditions the MT260 Ink has a four to five hour pot life. Workable life
on ink plate can be up to 3 hours depending on color, volume and room
environments. Higher than normal room temperatures will shorten pot life. Using
thinners is not recommended. Thinning will adversely affect this ink. Store in a
cool place and use within six months. Only the purchaser can determine the
suitability of this ink for any application. ”. Mixing may be required after
storage.

Avionics HT175 Ink is a very slow-drying, heat-curing, semi-paste ink for use on
all open ink plate marking machines for direct or offset printing. White or
Black color inks are available in 4 fluid ounce tubes. Other colors are
available on special order and are also packaged in 4 ounce tubes. Standard
colors are available: red, blue, green, orange, brown, gray, yellow, violet, and
silver.
HT175
Ink can be used for marking materials that can tolerate an elevated temperature
cure schedule. Recommended materials include thermal-setting epoxies, metals,
glass, neoprene, phenolic, polyester and other non-porous surfaces. After proper
curing, HT175 will exhibit superior adhesion, excellent resistance to abrasion
and to solvents such as acetone, alcohol, freon and all other flux- removing
solvents.
HT175
Ink must be heat cured at a minimum temperature of 175°F
(80°C)
for 4 hours. Lower temperatures will not effect a complete cure. The optimum
temperature for best resistance to abrasion and solvents is 350°F
(176°C).
A curing time of 5 minutes or more is required. Good results will be achieved
when the following cure schedules are used:
5 min. @ 350°F
(177°C)
15 min. @ 300°F
(149°C)
2 hrs. @ 250°F
(121°C)
This
ink is ready to use right from the tube. “ No setting time”. Mixing may be
required after storage. Store in a cool place and use within six months.
Only the purchaser can determine the suitability of this ink for any
application. Meets: CID A-A56032A Type l and II. Formerly: MIL-I-43553b
APPLIES TO ALL OF THE ABOVE
INKS:
Use
only Allen Avionics BIODEGRADABLE CL500 Cleaner to remove ink from machine.
Other solvents may cause damage to rollers and pad.
Using thinners is not recommended. Thinning will adversely effect ink.
Use
only Allen Avionics rollers and pads. Other rollers may shorten life of ink on
machine. All inks should be stored in a cool place. Refrigeration should be used
for any extended storage. Shelf life for properly stored inks will be a minimum
of six (6) months. For up to date Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all of
the above inks and cleaner check our Web-Site (www.allenavionics.com).
