Chromaline CP Tex (Violet) Diazo Emulsion - 1 Quart
Premium violet diazo textile emulsion engineered for plastisol and water-based inks, delivering excellent durability, sharp stencil definition, and dependable performance on manual and automatic screen printing presses.
Characteristics
Chromaline CP Tex (Violet) Diazo Emulsion is a high-performance dual-cure (diazo) direct emulsion developed specifically for textile screen printing applications requiring excellent stencil durability and consistent print quality. Designed for use with both manual and automatic presses, CP Tex provides outstanding resistance to plastisol inks while also offering compatibility with many water-based and discharge ink systems when properly hardened.
Its violet color offers excellent stencil visibility during coating, exposure, and inspection, making pinholes, edge definition, and image detail easier to identify before printing. The emulsion coats smoothly, produces uniform stencil thickness, and delivers crisp edge definition for detailed graphics, halftones, spot-color work, and general textile production.
CP Tex is formulated for reliable reclaiming while maintaining excellent press durability throughout long production runs. Once sensitized with diazo, it provides a dependable balance of exposure latitude, stencil strength, and image resolution, making it a trusted emulsion for contract printers, commercial textile decorators, and high-volume production facilities.
Whether printing athletic apparel, promotional garments, fashion textiles, or specialty graphics, Chromaline CP Tex offers the durability and consistency needed for professional screen printing operations.
