LOW EMISSION DIGITAL GLUE .LE

The new Digital Glue SCD1990 LE (for high temperature) and SCD1995 LE (for low temperature) extends the LOW EMISSION product range, already composed of innovative inks and digital materials.

The “patented” LOW EMISSION project by Sicer is to significantly reduce the environmental impact by using a special mix of ultra-refined solvents that guarantee perfect print quality.

The .LE series compared to all the best low emission products on the market today, has effectively deleted odor emissions and reduced formaldehyde emissions by over 50%

Digital glue, combined with special grits, allows different surfaces and effects, minimizing defects and surface porosity.

BENEFITS OF DIGITAL GLUE .LE "LOW EMISSION"

Thanks to excellent lubrication, the product guarantees total stability of the machine work.

It guarantees very long drying times, offering many application advantages. It allows the application of grit even in a later stage and above all, guarantees application even on a body with a high degree of absorption (monoporosa or new technologies).

It contains a particular flux that optimizes the application of the grit as much as possible, obtaining a perfect homogeneity and flatness of the surface.

The new SCD1990 LE glue is a product of the LOW EMISSION series and guarantees a very low environmental impact. It has an absent odorigenic component and a considerable reduction of harmful emissions and formaldehyde.

WATER BASED DIGITAL GLUES

Sicer’s Digital R&D Lab offers a new series of 3 WATER BASES DIGITAL GLUES, completely odorless and with low emission.

Three different types of WATER BASED glues, two glossy and one matt, which integrate sustainability and high performance.

The first are the SCD3001H natural glue, containing flux and the SCD3005H natural glue, without flux. Totally odorless and low-emission, with a high adhesive power, they contain extremely high-performance technical characteristics.

Thanks to the formula based on water and hydro-compatible materials, SCD3001H and SCD3005H lowers the emissions of COT, VOC, aldehydes and odorous substances from the chimneys of ceramic kilns, making them minimal.

Given the high weights of glue digitally deposited on the tiles (60-80 g / m2), the use of these glues makes it possible to produce on different lines in the same plant without exceeding the limit values of COT and aldehydes in the chimney, even without the need of post combustors.

SCD3001H contains a specific flux that increase the gluing power and improve the application of the grit. It helps to waterproof the substrate before applying the glass grit and further reduces the pollution emissions at the chimney.

WATER BASED MATT GLUE SCD3100H

Sicer has developed the brand new WATER BASED matt glue SCD3100H, which contains a flux specifically designed to create a matt ceramic effect.

In addition to the characteristics of gluing power, spreading, lowering of chimney emissions and excellent printing quality, this glue can be used in combination with matt grits, to which it gives spreading, transparency and a low degree of gloss.

The material contained in this glue has a completely neutral ceramic effect on the surface of the tile, and this guarantees the total absence of shiny dots in the areas where the grit does not stick well, or shiny streaks at the edges of the graphics.

The high adhesive power allows the adhesion of a large quantity of glass, creating an important effect of thickness.

All Sicer WATER BASED GLUES guarantee longer drying times than common solvent-based glues.
