Curable Ink Reducer — Soft-Flow (PFRE Series) thins plastisol for better flow and finer detail without wrecking opacity or cure. It is curable — it becomes part of the ink film instead of just diluting it, so adhesion and wash durability hold.The Soft-Flow line comes in three curable options, selected in the dropdown: PFRE-703 Quick Flash, PFRE-704 Clear, and PFRE-705 Reducer. All are phthalate-free and compatible with every plastisol we make — standard, low-cure and specialty.How much to addStart at 5% by weight. Most shops run 15–20% depending on the operator, the ink and the print. Do not exceed 20%. Over-reducing is the most common mistake — you can always add more, you cannot take it back out. Mix thoroughly and print a test before production.What it does Thins without over-thinning — better flow and deposit, opacity intact. Cure stays put — still cures at 320–330°F; adhesion and wash durability unaffected. Softer hand — smoother, more flexible print without dulling color. Fewer screen clogs — keeps ink open in the mesh, fewer stops to wipe. Works with everything — standard, low-cure and specialty plastisols. Use it for Soft-hand fashion prints — less buildup, lighter feel on the garment. Fine line and high detail — crisper edges, cleaner registration. Large coverage — even spread across a big deposit. Halftones and multi-color — consistent blending and transitions. How to run it Mix ratio Start at 5% by weight; 15–20% typical depending on the end user. Never exceed 20%. Method Mix thoroughly until fully blended, then test print before production. Cure 320–330°F (160–165°C) — unchanged from the base ink. Compatible with All plastisol inks — standard, low-cure and specialty. Storage 65–90°F (18–32°C), sealed, cool and dry. Shelf life 12 months from manufacture. FormulationPhthalate-free. Built on a phthalate-free plasticizer system — not an ortho-phthalate chemistry — so it will not reintroduce phthalates into a phthalate-free ink you have already specified.Handling Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling. Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep containers sealed when not in use to prevent contamination. Review the Safety Data Sheet before use. Questions?
