We offer a wide selection chemicals for the sieve – a complete set of preparations necessary for the professional production and use of screen printing stencils. CHEMIKONICS supplies products from many renowned European printing chemical manufacturers, allowing us to offer solutions tailored to every screen printing technology – industrial, textile, graphic, and specialized.
The quality of a screen print depends largely on the quality of the stencil and the care taken in its preparation, maintenance, and regeneration. Even the best ink will not achieve the desired effect on a poorly degreased screen, an incorrectly selected emulsion, or a stencil with residue from a previous print. That's why we offer a full range of preparations – from photosensitive emulsions i capillary films, by degreasers i mesh activators, after de-layerers, ghost removers and ink removers.
Our range includes products dedicated to screens of various densities and tensions, for emulsions diazo, photopolymer and two-component (diazo-photopolymer), and also for inks solvent-based, UV, water i plastisolsChoosing the right chemistry allows you to shorten production cycles, extend screen life, and achieve repeatability and high print sharpness in batch production.
Screen printing chemicals – a complete chain of preparations for screen printing
The screen printing production process involves several key stages, each requiring dedicated chemicals with specific properties. Our offerings are designed to meet all screen printer needs: from preparing a clean, easily wettable mesh, through applying and exposing the emulsion, to removing stencils and regenerating the screens for reuse.
Key applications of sieve chemistry:
Degreasing and activating the mesh
Applying the photosensitive emulsion
Exposing and developing the template
Strengthening and sealing the template
Retouching and correction of the template
Cleaning the screen after printing (on-press)
Emulsion separation
Haze Removal
Regeneration and maintenance of sieves
The complete chain of screen printing chemicals includes preparations for preparing the mesh (degreasers, matting pastes, activators), products for template construction (photosensitive emulsions, diazo sensitizers, capillary films, intermediate films), substances for strengthening and correction (blocking varnishes, touch-up fluids, edge sealants), ink removers (solvent and water based) as well as chemicals for sieve recovery (emulsion removers, ghost removers, shadow removers). We also supply accessories – squeegees, spatulas, lint-free cloths, emulsion applicators, and health and safety equipment.
The selection of the right chemicals depends on type of ink (solvent, UV, water, plastisol), mesh type (polyester, calendered, steel) and length of the production cycleOur specialists help optimize product usage, reduce downtime between orders, and reduce template regeneration costs. Thanks to our partnerships with several European manufacturers, we can tailor a solution to your needs. economically, premiumAnd ecological (reduced VOC emissions, biodegradable).
Emulsions and template chemicals
Photosensitive emulsions – diazo, photopolymer and two-component (diazo-photopolymer) – for solvent-based, UV, water-based and plastisol inks. Capillary films and intermediate films for high resolution prints. Diazo sensitizers, retouching fluids i blockers for completing and correcting the template.
Degreasers and mesh activators
Sieve degreasers for polyesters and steel sieves – remove grease, dust residues and remnants of the extracted emulsion. Matting pastes and mesh activators increase the wettability and adhesion of the emulsion. Antistatic agents and preparations for exposure glass.
Layer removers and ghost removers
Emulsion removers – in the form of concentrates, powders and ready-made solutions – for quick and precise removal of the exposed stencil. Haze removers and shadow removers for full sieve regeneration after repeated use. Solvent and eco-friendly variants.
Ink removers, solvents and accessories
Ink removers solvent, UV, water and plastisol – for cleaning screens on and off the machine (on-press). Solvents, retarders and additives for inks. Screen printing accessories: emulsion applicators, squeegees, spatulas, lint-free cloths and occupational health and safety measures.
