Characteristics
Chromaline Hydro-X Blue Photopolymer Emulsion is a premium pure photopolymer screen printing emulsion developed for printers who demand fast exposure speeds, outstanding stencil durability, and exceptional image quality across a broad range of printing applications. Supplied ready to use, Hydro-X Blue eliminates the need for diazo mixing while providing a long shelf life and consistent coating performance.
Designed specifically for modern textile and graphic printing operations, Hydro-X Blue delivers excellent resistance to water-based, discharge, plastisol, UV-curable, and many solvent-based ink systems. Its durable stencil withstands long production runs while maintaining sharp detail, fine halftones, and excellent edge definition.
The emulsion features a balanced solids content that produces smooth, even coatings with minimal pinholes and excellent mesh bridging. Its fast exposure characteristics improve productivity by reducing exposure times while maintaining wide exposure latitude for dependable stencil creation.
Hydro-X Blue reclaims efficiently with quality emulsion removers after production, making it an excellent choice for high-volume screen printing facilities seeking consistent print quality and reliable stencil performance. Whether producing apparel graphics, industrial prints, decals, signs, or specialty graphics, Chromaline Hydro-X Blue provides the durability, resolution, and ease of use required by professional screen printers.
