CCI Quik Dry Water Soluble Blockout - 1 Gallon
Fast-drying, low-viscosity green water-soluble screen blockout engineered for filling open mesh areas, masking designs, repairing pinholes, and providing durable one-coat coverage for screen printing applications.
Characteristics
The CCI QUIK-DRY® Water Soluble Blockout is a professional screen printing blockout designed to quickly fill open areas of screen mesh that are not covered by emulsion. Its low-viscosity formulation spreads easily across the screen, providing efficient coverage while helping screen printers prepare stencils for production.
QUIK-DRY is especially useful when multiple designs are exposed on the same screen. Unused designs can be temporarily masked with the blockout until they are ready to be printed, making it a practical solution for multi-design and multi-color screen printing workflows.
The fast-drying green formula is also ideal for touching up pinholes and other small openings in the stencil that could otherwise allow unwanted ink to pass through during printing. Its visible green color helps operators identify treated areas while preparing the screen.
Designed to provide effective coverage in a single coat, QUIK-DRY develops a durable surface with high abrasion resistance after drying. This helps the blockout withstand the mechanical action associated with normal screen printing production while maintaining the integrity of masked areas.
QUIK-DRY is suitable for screen printing applications using water-based, discharge, and plastisol inks. Despite its durable performance during printing, the water-soluble formulation can be easily removed with water when the screen is ready to be cleaned or reclaimed.
The formulation is also non-hazardous, biodegradable, and drain safe, providing screen printers with an easy-to-use blockout solution for routine stencil preparation, pinhole repair, and production masking.
