Pot life of ink mixesd with catalyst is 4 to 8 hours. Over catalyzation will shorten pot life of ink. The catalyst creates a chemical bond to adhere the ink to the nylon fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\tAlternative uses for 900 catalyst:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\t\u003cli\u003e\t\tA catalyst can be added to flock adhesive to promote better adhesion of the flocking fibers.\u003c\/li\u003e\t\u003cli\u003e\t\tA catalyst combined with (black) ink (for black fabrics, for example), reduces the appearance of fibrillation, especially after the garment has been washed.\u003c\/li\u003e\t\u003cli\u003e\t\tAdding catalyst can improve adhesion on most other fabrics, not just nylon.\u003c\/li\u003e\t\u003cli\u003e\t\tA catalyst can also improve adhesion to leather or vinyl substrates, but it is crucial to test that the substrate can withstand the 320 degree F cure temperatures required to cure the ink.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\tJust remember that once a catalyst is mixed in with the ink, the ink has a pot life of about four to eight hours, so be sure to only mix enough ink to use for the job. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Coatings","offers":[{"title":"Gallon","offer_id":45155483746578,"sku":"IC90004","price":264.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Ounce","offer_id":45155483812114,"sku":"IC9002","price":16.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Ounce","offer_id":45155483877650,"sku":"IC9008","price":27.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/0062\/2098\/files\/nylon-900-catalyst-611425.jpg?v=1762486741","url":"https:\/\/mclogasale.com\/products\/nylon-900-catalyst","provider":"McLogan Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
