[Thinning screen printing ink is essential for achieving the right viscosity for smoother prints and an easier printing process. Plastisol inks, commonly used in screen printing, can often be too thick for some projects. To thin them, use a curable reducer, available from most screen printing supply shops, which is specifically designed for screen printing inks. Add the reducer to your ink gradually, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until you reach your desired consistency. It's important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the proportion of reducer to ink to avoid issues with curing. Water-based inks can be thinned with a small amount of water or a specific thinner designed for water-based inks. Remember, adding too much thinner can affect the ink’s opacity and adhesion properties. Always test your thinned ink on a scrap piece of material before beginning your project to ensure optimal print quality.]
Yes, corn starch is widely used as a thickening agent in cooking and baking. It's derived from the endosperm of the corn kernel. When heated with a liquid, corn starch has the ability to disrupt the liquid's molecular structure, causing it to thicken. This property makes it an essential ingredient in sauces, gravies, soups, and pie fillings. It is favored for its neutral taste and clear, glossy appearance when cooked. However, it should be mixed with a cold liquid first to create a slurry before adding to hot dishes to prevent clumping. Additionally, dishes thickened with corn starch tend to lose their thickness when frozen and reheated.
To distinguish PVC, ABS, and Polypropylene, consider appearance, density, and chemical resistance. PVC is typically rigid and can be either transparent or have a slight blue or green tint. It sinks in water (density >1 g/cm³) and has excellent resistance to electricity. ABS, a copolymer made of styrene, acrylonitrile, and butadiene, is lightweight yet sturdy, usually black or gray, and has a matte finish. It floats in water (density approx. 1.04-1.06 g/cm³) and resists both physical impacts and many chemical solvents. Polypropylene is white and somewhat translucent, known for its flexibility (though it can be made to be quite rigid as well), floats in water (density about 0.90 g/cm³), and has a high resistance to heat, chemicals, and electricity. Burn tests can further differentiate: PVC emits a hydrochloric acid smell when burned, ABS has a sooty flame with a distinct chemical odor, and polypropylene burns with a minimal smell.
