Here
are the key properties of KGS
metallized
fabrics in some more detail:
- Excellent
dimensional stability
The galvanic nickel layer solidly fixes warp and weave of the fabric
- High
abrasion resistance
Not only for printing with abrasive inks, e.g. ceramic inks, but also
during the cleaning process, no formation of ghost pictures
- Easy
lift-off from the printing stock
-
Antistatic
Important in the textile industry and for the printing of plastics,
including CDs. Static charges can create problems when polyester screens
are used.
- Electrically heatable up to 80°C
For the decoration of high quality hollow glass, thermoplastic inks
are used which have to be heated during the printing process. KGS
mesh is very suitable
for this technology because it is not only heatable but also >
-
More elastic and far less fragile than stainless steel mesh
For example, KGS
metallized fabrics are much less prone to kinking and follow the curvature
of a hollow glass with little risk of damage which leads to >
-
Enhanced service life of the screens
Depending upon the application
- Since
the base material for KGS
metallized fabrics are high modulus/low
elongation polyester fibre, usual stretching and processing parameters
can be used to a large extent.
- A
side benefit
Visual inspection for cleanliness is very easy since finger prints
show up quite clearly on the surface. This is not the case with polyester
mesh
