Surface Treated Mesh For Water-Based Ink Printing SAATI HI-DRO is a high modulus, low elongation monofilament polyester screenprinting fabric with a proprietary surface treatment developed to meet the requirements of garment printing application. Especially designed to optimize the deposit when printing with water base inks, this new range was constructed maintaining the same mesh count and using thinner thread diameters. KEY PRODUCTS CHARACTERIStiCs • • • Optimized mesh geometry and precise mesh openings due to the improved production process Excellent antistatic property Long lasting surface modification thanks to plasma treatment. YOUR BENEFITS • • • Better printability Improved ink flow No degreasing pretreatment step prior to stencil processing, thanks to SAATI unique plasma surface treatment Excellent coverage on dark garments Less stencil cleaning work during printing Superior stencil adhesion, resulting in less stencil breakdown on press, delivering longer print runs far beyond other conventional treated fabrics Safe under exposure with all emulsion types: Photopolymer, Dual- Cure, Diazo and Capillary Films Excellent for use with abrhasive printing conditions, inks and pastes.

Tension From-To The above data are average values measured on piece-good in relaxed state, manufactured with yarns of a perfect nominal diameter (cfr. international standards), under normal hygrometric conditions (20°C=68°F, 65% relative humidity). They are subject to normal variations up to 7% if conditions vary from those stated above. The listed technical specifications, exception made for the thread diameter indicated with its nominal value, are referred to the arithmetic mean value of production samples and are subject to change, in accordance with our policy of continuously improving our products. The tension tests are realised with TOP 12 series clamp system and appropriate frames at our laboratories. PW: plain weave (1:1) To place an order, call 1-800-431-2200.
