Flu x58 101*1: DIN EN 1388-1-2 : The test pieces are immersed in a 4% acetic acid solution for 24 hours at 22±2℃.
*2: ASTM C556-88 : The test pieces are immersed in a 0.5 % sodium carbonate solution in water at 95℃ for 2, 4 and 6 hours.

2. Firing Conditions
Type of ware

Firing range

Bone china, vitreous china

800-840℃SELECTION 58M are suitable for both normal firing for 3-10 hours and fast-firing for 60-120 minutes,cold-to-cold conditions. Also, use them with lead-free colors and glazes. Fire them only under lead-freeconditions to avoid heavy lead release.
58M161, 58M162, 58M163 and 58M164 are sensitive for firing temperature and conditions. We recommend tofire them bellow 820℃ under fast firing conditions otherwise they may lose metallic effect.

6. Printing【6.1 Relief printing】
We recommend mesh sizes that are 100-120 mesh (40-48T) polyester for all screen applications. We
recommend printing 1-4 times. We do not recommend printing more than 4 times when there is a pinhole anda bubble on the surface and there is a drying time problem.

【6.2 Medium ratio and cover coat】
SELECTION 58M colors : Medium PM2

10 : 7-9

We recommend PM2 flowing medium for relief printing. Adding just sufficient medium will improve the surfaceof relief, if it has pinhole problems.
We recommend C33 cover coat by printing 70 mesh (27T).
Lead-and-cadmium free onglaze colors absorb moisture easily. Therefore, keep the powder colors in a dryplace. We recommend drying the color powder before using.

7. Color and Mixability
SELECTION 58M colors can be mixed with each other in any proportions.
To obtain colored metallic, it is suitable to mix 58M113 silver with approximate 15-30% of SELECTION 35, 36
and 39 colors.

To lighten SELECTION 58M colors, we recommend to mix with 58101 flux. If normal onglaze flux such as36101and 35101 are mixed, the metallic effect maybe disappeared. According to our test, adding 20% of58101flux is maximum to maintain the color tone. After mixing 58101, they become lower firing temperature.
58101 flux can be also used as underlay flux and if it is printed under SELECTION 58M colors, the surface of
metallic become smooth and glossy.
To use SELECTION 58M on porcelain, there is a possibility to use low C.O.E. underlay flux from leaded series.
According to our experience, 32189 relief flux is suitable for 58M colors as their underlay flux. Use the same
screen as SELECTION 58M and just print as first layer of the relief.
We cannot guarantee the heavy metal release in this case, therefore we recommend testing the stability ofmixing and using with other colors under end-user’s firing conditions before mass production. Please notefollowing points and refer to Table 1.

8. Chemical durability
Chemical durability of SELECTION 58M depends on type of ware, glaze, kiln, color deposit and firingconditions. The following are the results of tests on bone china, fired at 820℃, with 10 minutes of soaking
time and 120 minutes of cold-to-cold firing conditions of gas kiln in production.

【8.1 Residual lead and cadmium content】
SELECTION 58M contains less than 100 ppm residual lead and less than 50 ppm residual cadmium and are
therefore in compliance with Californian Proposition 65, FDA, EU and Japanese requirements.

【8.2 Lead and cadmium release】
According to the DI EN 1388-1-2 test, SELECTION 58M shows lead and cadmium releases are below AASlimits.

【8.3 Acid resistance】
According to the DI EN 1388-1-2 test, SELECTION 58M colors do not show any visible attack after
immersion in a 4% acetic acid solution for 24 hours at a room temperature of 22±2℃.

【8.4 Alkali resistance】
According to ASTM C556-88 test, SELECTION 58M metallic colors do not show any visible attack up to 6hours.
