CCI HXT Red Photopolymer Emulsion - 1 Gallon
High-solids, ready-to-use red photopolymer emulsion engineered for exceptional print resolution, fast exposure speeds, excellent durability, and superior resistance to plastisol, UV, and solvent-based inks.
Characteristics
CCI HXT Red Photopolymer Emulsion is a premium one-part, pre-sensitized pure photopolymer emulsion formulated for professional textile, graphics, industrial, and specialty screen printing applications. Ready to use directly from the container, HXT Red eliminates diazo mixing while providing fast exposure times, excellent stencil definition, and consistent imaging for high-production environments.
Its high solids formulation produces a durable stencil capable of holding fine details, halftones, and sharp edge definition while maintaining excellent mesh bridging across a wide range of mesh counts. The red color improves stencil visibility during coating, inspection, and reclaiming, making it easier to identify pinholes and stencil imperfections before production.
CCI HXT Red is designed to withstand long production runs using plastisol, UV-curable, solvent-based, and many specialty ink systems. The hardened stencil offers excellent resistance to abrasion and repeated print cycles while maintaining dimensional stability for consistent registration throughout the print run.
Compatible with automatic and manual coating techniques, HXT Red is suitable for textile printing, graphics, decals, industrial applications, electronics, promotional products, and other demanding screen printing processes where durability and image quality are essential.
