Technical Specifications

How to Prepare & Use CCI ProChem® TX-Discharge Red:

Sensitizing & Mixing:

  1. Prepare the Diazo:
    • Add room temperature water to the Diazo bottle, shake well, and let dissolve completely.
  2. Mix with Emulsion:
    • Pour the Diazo solution into the emulsion and mix thoroughly.
    • Allow the emulsion to sit for at least 2 hours to release air bubbles before coating.

Screen Preparation & Coating:

  • Ensure the screen is clean and degreased before applying emulsion.
  • Use a coating trough with a smooth edge for an even application.
  • Coating Process:
    1. Apply 1–2 coats of emulsion on the print side.
    2. Reverse the screen and apply 1–2 coats to the squeegee side.

Drying & Exposure:

  • Dry screens horizontally with the print side down in a clean, light-safe environment.
  • Maintain a humidity level of 30% to 50% with good air circulation.
  • Use an exposure calculator to determine the optimal exposure time based on mesh count, coating thickness, and exposure unit type.

Washout & Reclaiming:

  • After exposure, gently spray both sides of the screen with water, allowing the emulsion to soften before rinsing out the stencil.
  • For reclaiming, use CCI’s emulsion removers (available in concentrate or ready-to-use formulas) for fast and easy cleanup.

Storage & Shelf Life:

  • Unmixed emulsion: Shelf life of 1 year when stored in a cool, dry place.
  • Sensitized emulsion: Best results when used within 7–10 days after mixing.
  • Ideal storage conditions: 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C), away from direct light and humidity.
