Its high solids content (≈ 43%) allows a thick build per coat, reducing the number of coats over conventional emulsions, and facilitates quick drying; its exceptional photo-sensitivity reduces exposure time—and will be of interest to low volume printers with weak light sources. Stencils made with SBQ-501 are extremely wear resistant and will not become tacky under high humidity conditions. Its high viscosity (≈ 7200 CPS) provides good coating control. Its high contrast blue color affords easy stencil inspection. SBQ-501 is resistant to plastisol inks and most washup solvents, making it easy to reclaim in automatic stencil removal equipment or by hand.
