Barrier Grey

Overview

Minimal Training, Maximum Impact

Zodiac™ Taurus™ non-PVC inks have been formulated to meet the sustainability preferences of consumers while providing the desired adhesion and low crock performance expected by brand owners and printers. The Taurus line of non-PVC inks provides printers with a comprehensive system of bases, modifiers, additives, ready-for-use (RFU) colors and specialty inks free of formaldehyde and alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO).

Zodiac™ Taurus™ Barrier Grey is a non-PVC and non-phthalate plastisol textile grey ink base. This product is a base that has the ability to fight dye migration from the fabric that bleeds into the printed ink layer. This migration effect usually happens on polyester fabrics and/or fiber blends. It has to be printed as a first layer or “primer”, flashed then printed over with Zodiac Taurus LB White. To obtain colors, print Zodiac Taurus colors over the layer of Zodiac Taurus LB White.
