Sefar
High precision Screen Printing Mesh

Sefar are manufactures of a wide range of high-quality precision, Polyamide and Polyester mesh for screen printing, as well as pre-coated mesh (SEFAR PCF) for printing on CDs and DVDs.

Polyester Mesh

Polyester is now the most widely used screen-printing mesh as it fulfils a wide range of criteria. As a high modulus mesh, polyester can be highly stretched and still hold its tension. Sefar mesh is available in an extremely wide choice of mesh numbers and thread diameters, suitable for printing fine line art and half-tone images. Our polyester products range from the universal SEFAR PET 1000, the new SEFAR PET 1500 (soon to replace pet1000) to SEFAR PET 1000 OSC (designed for optimal results with UV inks).
We also offer SEFAR VARIO, a specially developed
for the automotive industry to print car rear windscreens.

SEFAR PET 1000
Info sheet

SEFAR PET 1000 is the most popular mesh on the market as it is high quality, very reliable and economical

Very Good anti-static properties
Wide product range
Excellent Mechanical and chemical resistance
Low elongation
High tensile strength
Minimal loss of tension
Equal elongation in warp and weft
Accurate register
Reduced minimum snap-off distance
Excellent protection against under-cutting

SEFAR PET 1500 (NEW)
Info sheet

SEFAR PET 1500 Is a high-quality, economical screen printing mesh, which has a special surface treatment giving the following benefits:

Eliminates mesh degreasing:
Degreasing remains unnecessary No =Cost savings =Less environmental burden

SEFAR PET 1500: uniform wetting
Wetting Test:
Rinsing with a dyed water shows clearly the difference in the wetting behaviour
Of the mesh
Mesh without surface treatment: gives uneven wetting

Tape Test: An adhesive tape is fixed across the stencil Mesh without Surface treatment, parts of the emulsion are remaining on the tape

SEFAR PET 1500: No emulsion on adhesive tape Improved adhesion of stencil material Optimal retaining of screen dots and fine lines Considerable prolongation of stencil life

Improved printing results
Even and constant ink deposit
High-quality printing results

Homogeneous ink deposit
Printing on a black background This highly magnified picture shows clearly the difference of the ink deposit
Mesh without surface treatment: uneven ink deposit, the background is partly visible

Polyamide Mesh
Info sheet

Nylon fabrics were the first monofilament synthetic fibres to be used for manufacturing screen printing meshes.
Nylon fabrics are extremely strong, which makes them very suitable for printing abrasive substrates like ceramic and reflective/fluorescent inks. The high elasticity of this fabric makes it easier to print onto uneven substrates e.g. Packaging, 3-D objects. The polyamide range which includes SEFAR PA 1000 - an elastic nylon mesh for use on uneven substrates, and SEFAR PA 2000 - an even more abrasive resistant fabric for extremely very long print
runs. The excellent properties of both fabrics make them suitable for the printing of 3-D objects and ceramics.
