International Coatings Introduces New Ink

November 16, 2010

International Coatings Co., Cerritos, Calif., has introduced 3823 Destructo Black — its new special-effects ink.

After curing, Destructo Black prints crack and split apart when pulled, stretched or crumpled, resulting in a vintage or antique look, according to the company. In addition, this new ink is non-phthalate, press-ready and offers excellent wash-fastness. It can be used on 100% cotton and cotton/poly blend fabrics. Simply cure 3823 Destructo Black at 350°F (170°C) — slightly higher than the cure temperature for conventional plastisol inks — then stretch or crumple the fabric to achieve the cracking effect.
