Zycol FLSC Pigment Emulsions
[Emulsions for Pigment & Apparel Printing]
Zycol FLSC Pigment Emulsions (8 Colors)
Product attributes & range:
Most of the FLSC Colours/Inks available in market have issue of
Higher Formaldehyde Levels which makes them unsuitable for
achieving RSL Compliant Prints.
To Solve this problem, Zydex has launched FLSC colours which
will make final prints comply with RSL standards of diff. retailers as
well as Oekotex 100 Standards for babywear even at 100% dosage
level.
(Slight deterioration in Washing & Light Fastness is a trade off to
achieve RSL compliance)
Note: There are 2 methods of using coloured Inks* (made
from these colours) in printing:
1. Direct printing with 100% FLSC Colours*:
 Without Base coat:
On Light & Medium Grounds (see table below)

*Indicates No. of basic colours in which the FLSC colour will give brightness.
 Second option is to over print these colours on existing colours
like glitter to get shiny effect through reflection. These colours
work on the principle of reflection hence mixing them with
other colours is not very cost effective method to achieve
desired results.
