Avient K2430 ASI SE Gel Clear LC - 1 Gallon
Premium low-cure clear plastisol specialty ink formulated for creating high-gloss gel, wet-look, water-drop, and glass-like effects, with excellent stretch, adhesion, and wash durability.
Characteristics
Avient K2430 ASI SE Gel Clear LC is a specialty clear plastisol screen printing ink designed to produce dimensional, high-gloss effects on printed garments. Formerly known as Infinite FX SE Gel Clear, this versatile clear can be used to create gel, wet-look, water-drop, and glass-like effects that add visual depth and dimension to apparel graphics.
The high-gloss formulation can be printed as a standalone clear or used as an overprint to enhance underlying colors and create a smooth, glossy surface. It can also be tinted with compatible plastisol colorants, giving printers additional flexibility for creating custom transparent and specialty-effect colors.
K2430 SE Gel Clear LC is well suited for high-density applications. For maximum dimensional effects, Avient recommends using open mesh counts with a 200–400 micron capillary film and a print-flash-print technique. A heavy flood helps completely fill the stencil while medium print pressure produces the desired ink deposit.
The low-cure formulation cures between 270°F–320°F (132°C–160°C), allowing printers to achieve specialty effects while potentially reducing production temperatures and energy consumption. It provides excellent adhesion, elongation, stretch properties, and wash durability when properly printed and cured.
Suitable substrates include 100% cotton, blends, spandex, uncoated nylon, and acrylic. For multi-color designs, SE Gel Clear should be printed in the final print position whenever possible or flashed between prints when multiple screens are required.
K2430 ASI SE Gel Clear LC is non-phthalate and supplied in a 1-gallon container for professional textile screen printing production.
