QXO | Water-Resistant, Pure Photopolymer (SBQ) Fast-Exposing Textile Emulsion; Presensitized and Premixed, anti-halated for sharper imaging, resistant to wash-up solvents.
QXO is a ready-to-use, fast-exposing SBQ-photopolymer direct emulsion formulated for imprinted sportswear printing. It resists plastisol inks—including newer, more aggressive, post-phthalate plastisols—and most washup solvents, making it easy to reclaim in automatic equipment or by hand. It is formulated with a “special technology” that reduces light scattering—the major cause of loss of resolution. With QXO, it is possible to use less costly white mesh without the closing up of fine lines and details. Despite its anti-halation properties, QXO is ultra-fast-exposing. It is especially efficient with fixed or scanning LED units, as well as with fluorescent tubes or other low intensity light sources, or in shops that need high stencil making throughput. QXO has high viscosity (6,000 – 8,000 centipose) that improves control when coating screens by hand. Its high solids content (44 - 46%) results in better mesh bridging--especially on coarse mesh--good edge definition, and fast drying. QXO stencils are durable, will not become tacky under high humidity conditions, and have excellent wet strength and exposure latitude. QXO reduces stencil-making time—in coating (because of its high viscosity), drying (due to its high solids content), and exposure (due to its high photo-sensitivity despite its “anti-halation properties”).
