CCI WR Absolute Hybrid Emulsion - 1 Gallon
Premium hybrid screen printing emulsion engineered for water-based and plastisol inks, delivering excellent durability, sharp image reproduction, strong resolution, and easy reclaiming for demanding textile printing applications.
Characteristics
The CCI WR Absolute Hybrid Emulsion – 1 Gallon is a high-performance screen printing emulsion formulated for textile printers who require excellent stencil durability, image quality, and versatility. Its hybrid emulsion technology provides the performance characteristics needed for demanding production environments while maintaining user-friendly coating, exposure, and reclaiming properties.
WR Absolute is particularly well suited for water-based ink systems, where increased stencil resistance is essential for maintaining screen integrity during longer production runs. Its durable formulation helps resist premature stencil breakdown caused by prolonged exposure to water-based inks while still providing the resolution and edge definition required for detailed garment graphics.
In addition to water-based applications, WR Absolute performs effectively with plastisol inks, making it a versatile choice for screen printing shops that regularly switch between ink systems. This flexibility can help reduce the number of specialized emulsions required in the screen room while maintaining dependable stencil performance across a wide variety of textile printing jobs.
The emulsion is engineered to produce strong mesh bridging and excellent stencil definition, helping printers reproduce fine lines, halftones, lettering, and detailed artwork. Consistent coating characteristics help create uniform stencils and reliable ink deposits when proper screen preparation, coating, drying, and exposure procedures are followed.
Despite its strong resistance during printing, WR Absolute is designed to remain reclaimable after production. Properly exposed screens can be reclaimed using compatible emulsion-removal chemistry and standard screen reclaiming procedures, helping shops efficiently reuse valuable screen printing mesh and frames.
Packaged in a convenient 1-gallon container, CCI WR Absolute Hybrid Emulsion is an excellent choice for professional textile screen printers seeking a durable, versatile emulsion for water-based and plastisol production.
