Two-component screen lacquer, green
ESTELAN G 700-13 is a universally applicable two-component screen lacquer. After hardening it has a
very good resistance to solvents such as alcohols, glycols, ketones, ester, white spirits and aromates as
well as aqueous chemicals, acids and lyes in concentrations commonly used in screen and textile
printing. It is mainly used to block-out the screen permanently and to protect the screen adhesive against
aggressive solvents as used e.g. in screen washing units. ESTELAN G 700-13 can also be used as a
reinforcing lacquer (post-lacquering of the screen) as well as to mark the mesh (different colours are
available, see ESTELAN range). Good adhesion to mesh, photoemulsion, wood and metal.
APPLICATION ESTELAN G 700-13 and KIWODUR RD are mixed in a ratio of 4:1, i.e. mix
100 parts of lacquer with 25 parts of hardener. Stir thoroughly and apply the
lacquer with a coating trough or brush.
Extreme conditions or continuous cycling in screen washing units require a
mixing ratio of 3:1. However, the elasticity of the lacquer is reduced.
Therefore, it should not be coated onto the mesh itself.
Notice: KIWOBOND screen adhesives can only be lacquered after a drying /
curing time of approx. 2 - 4 hours (see separate technical information
sheets).
If ESTELAN G 700-13 is used as a reinforcing lacquer it is reduced with 10 -
15% of KIWOSOLV L 74.
POTLIFE Approx. 12 hours (at 20°C)
DRYING TIME Approx. 1 - 2 hours (depending on the coating thickness and room
temperature)
CURING TIME Approx. 2 days (at 20°C). Curing time can be reduced with higher
temperatures, but ensure that only dry lacquers are heat-cured. Curing time
at 50°C will be approx. 8 hours, at 80°C approx. 2 hours.
REDUCING KIWOSOLV L 74
CLEANING Unhardened: KIWOSOLV L 74
Hardened: PREGAN DL or -266
Hardened ESTELAN G 700-13 is difficult to remove. Clean all contaminated
tools immediately after use.
NOTICE Please note that the resistance of a screen lacquer is influenced by a lot of
parameters e.g. curing time, ambient temperature, surface, reaction time of
chemicals etc. Therefore, please accept our offer and test the suitability of
