KIWOSET A-WR is especially suitable for textile and ceramic printing. It can also be used to increase the chemical and mechanical stability of screen or textile printing stencils. Photoemulsions hardened with KIWOSET A-WR are difficult to decoat or even undecoatable due to the achieved high resistances.

KIWOSET E-WR
Hardener for chemically curable screen printing and textile printing emulsions

KIWOSET E-WR is an acidic, aqueous solution for the chemical hardening of photoemulsions. It can easily be distributed and forms an evenly spread film which enables a homogeneous curing result. Especially suitable for textile printing screens with which alkaline or acidic media (vat caustics) are printed. In some cases, it is recommended to make trials with the respective emulsion beforehand. In particular cases, KIWOSET E-WR can be used reduced with water in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:3. In general, photoemulsions treated with KIWOSET E-WR are very difficult to decoat or even undecoatable due to the achieved high resistances.
