The Difference Between Fusion 180° and Fusion Bond
Solutions to all of your screen printing problems are here now that we developed Fusion 180° low cure temperature ink. The ink works on all fabrics without a catalyst.
-
Proper mesh and curing temperature depends on the thickness of ink deposit, garment, color of garment, artwork, and desired effect
-
The ink cures at 240°F to 260°F for 70 seconds or at 450° with a flash
-
The mesh range is 86 mesh/inch to 305 mesh/inch
-
Flexible, soft, and has excellent opacity on dark color garments
-
Bleed and crack resistant
-
No catalyst needed
-
Will not shrink or melt heat sensitive materials (nylon, non woven bags, polypropylene, etc.)
-
Adheres to thicker fabrics (50% cotton/ 50% polyester sweatshirts)
-
Covers fibers on 100% cotton
-
Prevents Dye Migration on 100% polyester, 50/50 sweatshirts, and sublimated polyester
-
Can be used as a transfer ink and foil adhesive
-
Prevents the elimination of toxic atoms from PVC Polymer and the formation of HCI (Hydro-Chloride Gas)
-
You may no longer need ink cleaners made with petro-chemicals such as blended solvents
-
Saves energy, consumption, and space
-
Reduces energy bill and emissions
-
Increases production

Fusion Bond is phthalate free plastisol ink with a coupling/bonding component. Fusion bond makes the ink behave as if it has a catalyst, yet does not have one and stays soft. A direct screen print will stick to heat sensitive coated materials. The ink cures at 220°F -240°F. Fabrics that can stand the heat of a flash can be cured with a flash at 450°F for 4 seconds. This includes polyester and cotton bags. Fusion bond was specially formulated with coupling capability for a revolutionary transfer method that eliminates weeding on colored garments.
Benefits:
-Flash cure on all fabrics without catalyst
-Cure with a dryer at 220°F -240°F without catalyst
-Strong adhesion for direct screen print or transfer on cotton, polyester, nylon and coated materials
-Coupling capability with color laser toner (RICOH ProC5200s for best results)
-Strong wash durability
Four Color Process Procedure:
-Print clear polyester coated sheets with a Ricoh color copier.
-Fusion Bond is printed directly onto the sheets with a transfer press.
-Add fine water based transfer powder and gel in the dryer at 240 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 seconds
-Transfer 310 degrees for 5 seconds and then cold peel the clear sheet away
