Liquids

Fototex is a range of liquids of matt and supermatte UV curable screen printing lacquers which are used to selectively print textures onto Autoflex. Autoflex provides the crystal clear hard-coated display window, the printed Fototex is used to create a textured frame and accenting effects. Fototex N Supermatt is used to print texture over graphic inks for Automotive dials. The supermatte flat matt surface gives the anti-reflective surface seen on the vehicle speedometer and rev. counter dials. The texture is formed by the curing process so there is no filler to affect the ink color.

Windotex is a clear, UV curable, screen printing lacquer that is used in combination with Autotex film. It is a refractive index matched to the textured hard coat which means that when it’s printed over the texture, a crystal clear, high clarity window is formed. It can also be used for design accent, by creating a glossy overprint to highlight features. It is available in high gloss and antiglare finishes.

Print and Peel is a water-based screen printable lacquer that dries to form a protective laminate. It is widely used to protect parts during processing and shipping. It is easily removed by the end user leaving a residue-free surface.
