Product Description
ENTHONE B-13/28 Catalyst is an accelerated ambient-cure catalyst option for ENTHONE M-Series and 50-Series epoxy marking inks. The catalyzed ink reaches room-temperature cure in approximately 3 days and has an average 1-hour pot life after the induction period. A tack-free surface develops in about 1 to 1.5 hours, although this stage is not full cure. B-13/28 may also be heat cured and is the recommended catalyst for M 0 NC and 50 770R nonconductive black inks, providing a defined process route for permanent electronic marking.
Key features
- Accelerated Ambient Cure: Room-temperature cure is completed in approximately 3 days.
- One-Hour Pot Life: The catalyzed ink has an average 1-hour processing window after induction.
- Nonconductive Black Ink Match: B-13/28 is recommended for M 0 NC and 50 770R nonconductive black inks.
Applications / Suitable for
- ENTHONE M-Series epoxy marking inks
- ENTHONE 50-Series epoxy marking inks
- M 0 NC and 50 770R nonconductive black inks
