Infinite 2940 Hugger Catalyst is an additive used to increase the adhesion of plastisol inks to nylon and other tightly woven materials. Use for Nylon wind-breakers, Jerseys, bags, banners, and other slick surfaces that plastisol struggles to adhere to.
Mix 10% by weight of 2940 Hugger Catalyst to plastisol ink. Hugger Catalyst activates upon exposure to moisture in the air thus giving ink mixed with Hugger Catalyst a pot life of 4-8 hours. The cross-linking reaction between the catalyst and ink takes approximately 48-72 hours to fully bond to the fabric. Adhesion tests should be conducted after the cross-linking process is complete.
It is important to note that any material treated to repel water, the waterproofing must be removed prior to printing. Remove waterproofing by wiping down the print area with rubbing alcohol or acetone. Check for penetration of the waterproofing with small drops of water. The water drops will spread and penetrate the fabric if the waterproof coating is properly removed.
