Xenon QXL Photopolymer Hybrid Emulsion

Description: Xenon QXL Photopolymer Emulsion is fast drying and fast exposing. It has high solids so you don't need as many coats as most other emulsions. This emulsion works perfectly when exposing with LED light. It allows for high resolution and high definition edges, creating the sharp image you need.

Uses: Works best with plastisol and solvent inks, but can also be used with water based inks, if diazo powder is added. Diazo powder for 1 gallon.  Diazo powder for 1 quart.

Instructions: QXL does not require any diazo mix but it can be added, to make the emulsion work with water based inks. Emulsion comes ready to use for plastisol and solvent ink. Lightly stir before use and apply to a degreased, clean and dry screen, using a scoop coater for easy application. Allow emulsion to fully dry, in a light safe environment, before exposure.

Exposure:  Many factors affect exposure times. When using any emulsion for the first time, we recommend running a “step wedge or exposure test” to figure out your exact exposure times. This simple test will save you time, money and frustration. After figuring out your exposure time, try to eliminate all variables, such as location, temperature, coating thickness, emulsion type, so your exposure process can be easily repeatable.

Clean-up / Reclaiming: Emulsion Removers - Any Kor-Chem, Franmar or NTL Emulsion Remover. 

Storage:  Store in a cool area, away from heat. A refrigerator is a great storage tool for emulsion and can slightly extend shelf life. DO NOT FREEZE. Emulsion that has been frozen will not work properly and should be discarded. Do not allow air or outside light into emulsion container, as this can decrease product life, or ruin the emulsion.

Shelf Life:  Opened: 6-8 months. Unopened: up to 1 year.

NOTE:  Environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity can cause emulsion to expire more rapidly. *ONLY USE THIS EMULSION IN A LIGHT SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
