In screen printing you can use retarders to achieve a significantly slower evaporation rate, helping to keep the mesh open longer – a crucial factor when printing fine details and halftones.
At the same time, they influence:
- Drying speed
- Block resistance
- Ink viscosity
Retarders are typically added to thinners when higher print quality or slower production speeds are required.
Important: Selection should always be aligned with the ink system and substrate to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.
