CURING DiPaMat TM Legend Ink 01 01 Ye01 ink is formulated to be cured - When exposed to one iron-doped mercury lamp of 600 W/inch - with the UV-readings presented in the table below (measured with UV PowerPuck 8651) - up to printing speeds of 60 m/min. - UV readings @10 m/min @100%: - Irradiance Energy Density UVA 2630 mw/cm² 1096 mj/cm² UVB 623 mw/cm² 279 mj/cm² UVC 48 mw/cm² 24 mj/cm² UVV 1453 mw/cm² 585 mj/cm² Tested on drawdown coatings of 10 µm thickness - When exposed to a non doped mercury lamp with curing speeds up to 70 m/min. ADHESION - DiPaMat TM Legend Ink 01 01 Ye01 printed on different types of semi and fully cured solder masks (from different suppliers) which are thermally cured during 20 minutes @ 150 C shows excellent adhesion. - The adhesion is evaluated by cross cut + tape test method according standard ISO2409 0 = Excellent 5 = Bad - On a wide variety of semi and fully cured solder masks test results were obtained between 0 and 2. The adhesion on fully cured solder mask is more critical and improves when the thermal curing time is prolonged. 60 minutes at 150 C is the optimal condition for thermal curing. PENCIL HARDNESS - DiPaMat TM Legend Ink 01 01 Ye01 printed on different types of solder masks (from different suppliers) which are thermally cured during 20 minutes @ 150 C shows a pencil hardness of 8 9 H. - Pencil hardness is tested according standard ASTM D3363-05 Technical Datasheet Ye01 Page 5/8 ab

SHELF LIFE 12 Months when stored under recommended conditions STORAGE Recommended storage conditions (in Agfa bottles) - 4 C to 23 C (39 F to 75 F): preferably 4 C to 10 C - Out of direct sunlight - Away from heat and (UV)-radiation sources Technical Datasheet Ye01 Page 6/8 ab
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BEST PERFORMANCE Instructions for use : - Check the compatibility of the ink / IJ-head / IJ-printer with the supplier - When converting to Agfa ink from a different ink supplier or a different color it is mandatory to flush the IJ-system with the designated cleaning chemical(s) - Keep the ink in the sealed and closed bottle inside the cardboard box until usage - 12 Hours before use the ink must be preconditioned at room temperature - Verify the expiry date of the ink - For best recovery of the sediment stir the ink well for at least 1 minute before adding the ink in the printer. Try to avoid formation of air bubbles since this can result in printing failures. - When the ink is circulated in the printer permanently there can occur a contamination with moisture from the ambient air. Over time depending on the printer self maintenance program - this can lead to a deteriorating printing quality. With a normal ink consumption of 1 litre per month or more there is no issue. With extreme low ink consumption it is advised to only load the printer with as much ink as will be consumed within 6 weeks. - Protect the ink from unintended UV exposure - Best adhesion and pencil hardness of the ink on the solder mask is obtained by : UV-curing with an Iron doped Mercury UV lamp (see paragraph curing). Baking step of 60 minutes at 150 C. - Good adhesion and pencil hardness can be reached also by pin curing the ink on the fly with UV-LED followed by another UV-bump after printing. Solder mask types / conditions : - DiPaMat TM Legend Ink 01 01 Ye 01 was tested on different brands and types of solder mask at different curing levels. The solder masks can be applied with different techniques (curtain coating, screen print, spray, ED, dry film). - The adhesion and pencil hardness of the applied legend ink is better on semi cured versus fully cured solder masks. On semi cured solder masks the cross linking between ink and solder mask is better. - When a UV-bump of the solder mask - for achieving a better solder ball resistance afterwards - is required, it is better to give this treatment after applying the legend ink for a better adhesion. Guidelines for optimal conditions of ink and system: - Agfa advices to clean the system and refresh the ink every 4 months. This will improve the stability of the printing quality and the lifetime of your system. Technical Datasheet Ye01 Page 7/8 ab
