CCI Red Coat Removable Blockout - 5 Gallon
Durable red removable screen blockout formulated for filling open mesh areas, masking unwanted portions of screen printing stencils, repairing pinholes, and providing reliable resistance during production while allowing easy removal during screen reclaiming.
Characteristics
CCI Red Coat Removable Blockout is a professional screen printing blockout designed for filling open mesh areas and masking portions of a screen that should not print. The removable formulation provides screen printers with a convenient way to prepare and touch up screens before production while maintaining a clearly visible barrier against unwanted ink passage.
The distinctive red color provides excellent visibility on the screen, making it easier for operators to identify areas that have been blocked out and verify coverage before printing. Red Coat can be used to cover open mesh surrounding the stencil, temporarily mask unwanted image areas, and correct small pinholes or imperfections that could otherwise allow ink to pass through the screen.
Once applied and properly dried, Red Coat creates a durable barrier capable of withstanding the normal mechanical demands of screen printing production. This makes it a practical solution for production screens that require dependable blockout performance without permanently altering the stencil.
The removable formulation also helps simplify screen cleanup and reclaiming when the production run is complete. Red Coat can be removed from the screen, allowing the mesh to be prepared for future jobs rather than requiring the blocked areas to remain permanently sealed.
CCI Red Coat Removable Blockout is well suited for production screen rooms, textile printing operations, graphics printers, and other screen printing environments requiring a visible, dependable, and removable solution for screen preparation and stencil touch-up.
