Diazo D Sensitizer Updated

Diazo D is a sensitizer mixer used for strengthening emulsions

Ideal for maximum resistance to aggressive ink systems. The use of Diazo D may also be required for longer print runs.

Instructions:

• Fill sensitizer bottle to the shoulder for 5-gallon containers and half full for quart size containers - preferably using warm distilled water.
• Cover lid with rag or paper towel to protect hands from leakage, then shake bottle until diazo is fully dissolved.
• Pour dissolved diazo into emulsion.
• Repeat steps 1 and 2.
• Stir thoroughly to assure diazo is completely mixed in.
• Allow the now sensitized emulsion to de-bubble for two hours to prevent remaining bubbles from causing pinholes during coating.

Store emulsion in a cool (68°F /20°C) dark place.
Diazo sensitizer dissolves easier in warm water.
Using distilled water instead of tap water assures no potentially detrimental heavy metal ion contamination of the sensitized emulsion occurs.
