Chromaline ChromaTech PL Photopolymer Screen Printing Emulsion – High-Solids, Fast-Exposing Emulsion for Plastisol Ink Printing

Chromaline

Chromaline PL (Chroma/Tech PL) is the high-build pure photopolymer emulsion engineered for plastisol printers who need thicker ink deposits with fewer coating passes. At 50% solids and 4,600 CPS — the same viscosity as ChromaBlue — Chromaline PL is built specifically to maximize emulsion over mesh (EOM) efficiently. A standard 1+1 coat produces the equivalent ink deposit of four wet-on-wet diazo coats, screens dry fast, and reclaim is clean with no locking. If you’re printing specialty plastisol effects that require a thicker ink column, or you want to reduce coating passes and dry time without sacrificing deposit quality, Chromaline PL was built for exactly that.

✓ High Build — 1+1 = 4 WOW Diazo Coats

Description

Maximum Plastisol Deposit, Fewer Coating Passes — Chromaline PL

Chromaline PL is built for one job: getting the maximum ink deposit out of a plastisol stencil while minimizing the labor and time required to coat and dry screens. Its 50% solids SBQ photopolymer chemistry is the same class as ChromaBlue, but optimized for high EOM — a single 1+1 coating produces the equivalent deposit of four wet-on-wet coats with a standard diazo emulsion. Screens dry faster. Fewer coating passes. Thick, consistent ink columns for specialty effects like puff, glitter, high-density simulation, and other applications where stencil height is a production requirement. Reclaim is clean with no locking — high-build stencils don’t have to be a reclaim nightmare.

Why EOM Matters for Plastisol Specialty Effects

Emulsion over mesh (EOM) is the thickness of the stencil above the mesh surface. Higher EOM means a taller ink column, which directly affects deposit thickness — critical for puff, glitter, high-density, metallic, and other specialty plastisol effects that require a defined ink height to work correctly. Chromaline PL builds high EOM in fewer passes than standard emulsions.

1+1 = 4 Wet-on-Wet Diazo Coats

Standard diazo-based high-build routines require 2+2 or even 3+3 coats — plus extended dry time between each pass. Chromaline PL’s 50% high-solids formula delivers equivalent EOM in a single 1+1 pass. That’s less time at the coating trough, less time in the drying cabinet, and more screens ready per shift.

Chromaline PL vs. ChromaBlue

Both are 50% solids SBQ photopolymers at 4,600 CPS designed for plastisol. ChromaBlue is Chromaline’s benchmark all-around plastisol emulsion. Chromaline PL is specifically optimized for maximum EOM and high-build applications — the right choice when deposit thickness is the primary requirement rather than general-purpose plastisol production.

Clean Reclaim — No Locking

High-build stencils are notorious for locking into the mesh during extended print runs, especially with specialty inks. Chromaline PL is formulated to reclaim cleanly with Chroma/Strip — no stubborn residue, no mechanical locking, no hours of soaking required. High-build screens should not mean a reclaim problem.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions — Chromaline PL

What is Chromaline PL designed for?

Chromaline PL is designed for plastisol printers who need maximum emulsion over mesh (EOM) with fewer coating passes. Its 50% solids SBQ formula builds a thick, high-deposit stencil in a single 1+1 coat — ideal for puff, glitter, high-density simulation, metallic, and other specialty plastisol effects that require a taller ink column.

What is the difference between Chromaline PL and ChromaBlue?

Both are 50% solids SBQ photopolymers at 4,600 CPS for plastisol. ChromaBlue is Chromaline’s benchmark all-around plastisol emulsion for general production. Chromaline PL is specifically optimized for maximum EOM and high-build applications — the right choice when thick ink deposit is the primary production requirement rather than general-purpose plastisol use.

Can I use Chromaline PL for water-based or discharge inks?

No — Chromaline PL is designed exclusively for plastisol inks. For water-based and discharge applications, use Hydro X Blue or Hydro X Red, which are formulated with hybrid photopolymer chemistry to resist the chemical aggression of those ink systems.

Does Chromaline PL require a diazo sensitizer?

No — Chromaline PL is pre-sensitized and ready to use straight from the container. Stir gently before each use. There is no diazo to mix and no sensitized shelf-life clock.

Is Chromaline PL freeze/thaw stable?

No — Chromaline PL is NOT freeze/thaw stable. Frozen emulsion is permanently damaged. River City Supply ships from San Antonio, TX for more safe winter shipping days than northern distributors.
