About Wilflex
PolyOne Wilflex Screen Printing Inks are more than just textile inks.
https://www.avient.com/idea/medical-device-shielded-radiation-without-lead
Two application areas were targeted initially: a printed circuit board controller unit and shielding plates for various electronic components linked to each of the numerous detector elements.
In addition, the company reduced the health and environmental impact of its equipment by using an RoHS-compliant, eco-conscious and equally effective alternative to lead.

These inks are currently offered in white and mixing base inks and provide an intuitive printing experience with standard screen printing equipment and processes.
When printing with these inks, formulas in IMS 3.0 will calculate the amount of bio-derived content associated with each Pantone color.
https://www.avient.com/top-10-best-practices-when-printing-polyester
We always recommend pretesting before you start a print job.
If using pre-stir ink and printing on a hard surface, use a palette covering to allow for softer printing surface.
