    Processing Parameters

    Mixing

    Should be used in a clean environment with a temperature of 20-25°C and a humidity of 50-60%RH.

    Use a yellow light (UV filtering) for lighting; avoid using white electric lights or daylight.

    When the product temperature reaches room temperature, open the can, mix with a ratio by weight of 75 parts LK-ZF600 and 25 parts CA LK-HD600, and stir thoroughly.

    Pot life after mixing: 24 hours when stored in a dark place at ≤ 25°C (77°F).

    FPC Pre-cleaning
    Pickling Washing Sandblasting Washing Drying
    Screen Printing
    • Screen Mesh: 100-130
    • Screen Mesh Angle: 45° Bias
    • Stand Time: Ten to thirty minutes after printing
    • Thickness: About 20μm (after curing). If it is too thick, the drying time will be longer.
    Exposure

    Energy Requirements:

    • For Green: 600mJ / cm² minimum (under phototool)
    • For Orange-red: 500mJ / cm² minimum (under phototool)

    The exposure energy depends on the type of substrate and the thickness of the mask. The appropriate exposure amount can be selected according to the size of the undercut.

    Stand Time: Ten to thirty minutes after exposure.

    Development
    • Solution: 1% by wt. Sodium Carbonate
    • pH: 10.6 minimum
    • Temperature: 29 - 31°C
    • Spray Pressure: 0.15 - 0.2MPa
    • Dwell Time: 40 - 70 seconds (in developing chamber)
    • Water Rinse: Required to remove developer solution & dry (water temperature below 30°C, water pressure: 0.1-0.15MPa, rinsing time: 30-50 seconds)
    Final Cure
    • Temperature: 150°C in conveyorized oven
    • Time at Temperature: 60 minutes
    TACK DRY & STORAGE WARNINGS
    • Avoid direct sunlight and fire sources. For long term storage, please keep the room temperature below 15°C and avoid sunlight. Unused L and K film should be put back into the original packaging bag (L film in black poly bag, K film in blue poly bag) and stored in the packaging box.
    • Don’t contact with the following items: Carbonless copying paper; water, oil, solvent and other chemicals; Plasticizers and plastic products which contain plasticizers; Rubber and eraser; Oily handwriting.
    • The K film after indicating color should be put into the paper bag. When storing a few K films together, make sure the color surfaces do not touch each other. It is better to separate them with white paper.
    • The color film samples will fade to a certain extent over time. It is suggested to scan the image for storage.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Q1: What is the correct mixing ratio for the LK-ZF600 series?
    The mixing ratio is 75 parts of LK-ZF600 to 25 parts of CA LK-HD600 by weight. Ensure they are thoroughly stirred after combining.
    Q2: What are the environmental requirements during the mixing process?
    Mixing must be done in a clean environment with a temperature of 20-25°C and relative humidity of 50-60%RH. You must use a yellow light (UV filtering) for illumination and avoid white electric lights or daylight.
    Q3: How should unused L and K films be stored?
    For long-term storage, keep the room temperature below 15°C and avoid sunlight. Put unused L film back into its original black poly bag and unused K film into its original blue poly bag, then store them together in the packaging box.
    Q4: What materials should be kept away from the films to prevent contamination?
    Avoid contact with carbonless copying paper, water, oils, solvents, other chemicals, plasticizers (and plastic products containing them), rubber, erasers, and oily handwriting.
    Q5: What are the recommended exposure energy levels?
    The minimum exposure energy under the phototool is 600mJ/cm² for Green and 500mJ/cm² for Orange-red. The appropriate amount can be adjusted based on the substrate type, mask thickness, and undercut size.
    Q6: What is the final curing process requirement?
    The final cure requires a temperature of 150°C in a conveyorized oven, with a dwell time of 60 minutes at that temperature.
