Monokan Ink Series – High Adhesion Single-Pack Screen Ink for Industrial Substrates
Monokan is a high-performance, one-pot screen ink system designed to deliver the exceptional adhesion and resistance properties typically found in two-pack inks. It uses a blocked catalyst system that activates after printing to enhance bonding and resistance, achieving full cure after 7 days of air drying or in just 10 minutes at 93°C in a curing oven.
Perfect for industrial and outdoor applications, Monokan has been independently tested and proven to perform under extreme environmental conditions, especially when post-coated with A.S.I. Pro-Pack Clear.
