Silicon dioxide powder, also known as Silica Powder,is commonly used in silk screen printing. It helps to create a
smooth and even surface on the mesh which can improve the quality and accuracy of the printed image.
These are some key points about using the silica powder into the silk screen printing.
1. Coating screen: Mixing the silica powder into the liquid binder to create a coating solution. Then using a scoop
coateror similar tool to coat this solution. The powder particles form a thin layer on the mesh, filling in any irregularities
or imperfections.
2. Smooth surface: The silica powder can create a smooth and uniform surface on the screen mesh,which is crucial for
achieving sharp and precise prints.
3. Increased durability: The silica powder can improve the film's durability. It helps to extend the screen's using time.
4. Improved ink flow: The smooth surface created by the silicon dioxide powder facilitates better ink flow through the
mesh.
5. Easy to apply and remove:Silica powder is very easy to mix with a binder and it is very suitable for screen.
6. Versatility: Silica powder can be used in various types of inks like water-based, solvent-based and UV-curable inks.
