Item#:3802LF

 
FEATURES
 
• 3802 LF Foil Resist Additive resists foil adhesion when
applying foil in a heat press.
• Use to create multi-color designs with foil sticking only to
the desired areas of the design or print.
• Easily mixes into and works with most standard plastisol
inks.
• For use on 100% cotton and some cotton/polyester
blends. 
• Use in combination with International Coatings’ 3801
Foil Adhesive.

RECOMMENDED FABRICS
 100% cotton and some cotton/polyester blends.  Always test print and
check for wash fastness and possible bleeding or dye migration.

INK APPLICATION
3802 LF Foil Resist Additive can be mixed into most standard plasti-
sols (10% to 15% 3802 LF additive by weight maximum) to make the
mixed ink resist foil during application of the foil in a heat press.  For
best foil application results, it is important to heat apply foil within 24
hours of printing

MODIFYING INK
Modifying 3802 LF Foil Resist Additive is not recommended.  
SPOT FLASHING
3802 LF Foil Resist Additive may slow down the flash times of some plastisol inks.  3802 LF Foil Resist Additive should
spot dry, with very low after-flash tack, in 3 to 8 seconds depending on the spot dryer used and the ink the additive is mixed
into.  Too much heat / time may cause the mixed ink to become sticky after flashing.  Adjust flash unit accordingly.  When
spot drying, the ink should be just dry to the touch, with no lift off, but not totally fused. Totally fusing the ink mixed with 3802
LF may cause some adhesion problems with the foil that is being applied.  Final curing I fusing should occur in the dryer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. For best foil application results, it is important to apply foil within 24 hours of printing.   
2.   3802 LF Foil Resist Additive and its use should be thoroughly tested for wash fastness before beginning a pro
 duction run.  Due to the difference in inks that the additive may be added to and the difference in the type of
 foils used, prior testing before beginning production is strongly recommended to help insure proper perform
 ance of the combined products.
3.   The 3802 LF Foil Resist Additive is not a bleed resistant product and should be tested when used on fabrics  
 where bleeding or dye migration may occur.  Bleeding or dye migration may not occur right away.  
4.   Always stir 3802 LF Foil Resist Additive and mix thoroughly into other inks before using (maximum 10% to 15%)
 by weight.
5.   Do not use 3802 LF Foil Resist Additive as is.  The additive must be mixed into another ink before use.
6.   On some fabrics, wicking to the side of the image may occur if too much 3802 LF is used in the mixed ink.  Test
 to make sure this is not happening before and after the foil application process.
7.   The addition of 3802 L F Foil Resist Additive may cause the mixed ink to crock and will make the mixed ink more
 prone to fibrillation on problem fabrics.  Wash tests should be performed before beginning production runs
