①"ART BRIGHT COLOR" HT type is a water-based ink. There is neither danger of explosion
nor unpleasant odor. It is not containing any endocrine disruptor and formaldehyde. Further,
there is no risk of skin disease.
②Glass beads are mixed in the ink and are apt to settle to the bottom due to its specific
gravity. Be sure to stir throughly the ink before use.

2. About printing
①Mesh guage of screen printing should vary depending on the materials and the following
guages are recommended:
Thick fabrics: 80-90 Mesh
Midium thcik fabric: 90-100 Mesh
Thin fabrics: 100-120 Mesh
In case of gold color, 80 Mesh or below is recommended to prevent a screen from clogging up.
②The ink cannot be used for water-repellent fabrics. The suitable materials are polyester
and cotton, but it is advisable to perform sample test in advance to see deterioration of
the material, reflectiveness and solidity.
③After printing, heat set the ink for 3 minutes at 175℃ to cure and increase reflectiveness
and solidity.
④For the reflective test, hold the light beside your eyes and spot the material after curing.

3.Caution
①Add water to decrease viscosity of the ink.
②Add white color to reduce depth of shade.
③It is possible to mix different colors of "ART BRIGHT COLOR HT TYPE".
④It is possible to use any water-soluable pigment in hand for mixing colors, but it is
advisable to perform an advance test to see the solubility into the "ART BRIGHT COLOR HT
TYPE".
⑤Do not add any chemical material to change PH value of the ink to avoid printing trouble.
⑥Close the cap tightly and keep the ink in a cool (around 20℃） and dark place. The ink can
last more than one year in such a condition.
⑦Water in the ink separates from the other ingredients and the glass beads settle to the

against 100% of the ink.

2. About printing
①80-120 mesh guage is recommended.
②After printing, heat set the ink for 3 minutes at 80-120℃ （real temperature at the surface)
to cure. It is advisable to perform an advance test as the curing condition may change depending
on the material.

3.Caution

Instruction Manual of Retroreflective Paint "BRIGHT COAT"

Ⅰ.Features
①Retroreflective paint suitable for road, pavement and outdoor constructions.
②Water-based paint which does not contain volatile solvent causing danger of ignition and
explosion.
③Spray, brush or roller can be used as the painting tool.

Ⅱ.Directions for use
１．Surface Preparation
①Remove completely old paint, rust and stains of exhaust gas by scraper, wire brush and abrasive
paper.
②Apply fungicide to mold and dilution to oils and grease and wipe off all the dust and stains from
the surface.
③Cover the place where you don't like to be painted by masking paper and tape.
④A smooth surface must be coarsened by abrasive paper to ensure good coating adhesion.
⑤Before coating on a surface of new concrete and stucco, wait for at least 3 weeks from
completion of the works and make sure to apply first concrete sealer to the surface. It is
necessary to apply concrete sealer both for new painting and repainting.
⑥In case of repainting on a steel part, remove all the old paint and rust without fail and apply first
anti-rust paint.
⑦Select a suitable primer (sealer) for other material.
2.Undercoat
①Make sure to apply "UNDERCOAT FOR BRIGHT COAT" to ensure good reflectiveness,
concealment and adhesion.
②Stir well "UNDERCOAT FOR BRIGHT COAT" and apply it without adding dilution. Should
the surface be too hot in the summer which hinders the coating by a quick drying, you may add
some more water little by little.
③"UNDERCOAT FOR BRIGHT COAT" can be cured in one hour at 20℃　and in 30 minutes in
the summer.
3."BRIGHT COAT" Coating
①Start coating after the undercoat is fully dryed up.

③If the surface is too hot in the summer which hinders the coating works by quick drying, you
may also add some more water to adjust viscosity of the paint. Be careful not to cure unused
paint when the weather is hot.
④Employ a slim brush to paint first corners and narrow spaces. A slim brush of long hairs for
water paint is the best for this application.
⑤Employ a roller brush for water paint to paint large areas. Using a short piled roller quickly
to distribute the paint thin and broad can result in an even finish.
⑥The paint should be distributed thin and broad to ensure a good evenness of color and
reflection. Double coating is recommended for better finish.
⑦Stir the paint time by time during the painting works.
⑧Remove the masking paper and tape carefully after the painted surface is cured.
⑨"BRIGHT COAT" can be cured in one hour at 20℃　and in 30 minutes in the summer.
⑩Standard painting area is 0.6Kg/m2.
4.Overcoat
①Overcoat can be applied after "BRIGHT COAT" is fully cured.
②For outdoor painting, "CERACOAT P" is recommended for the overcoat of "BRIGHT COAT".
"CERACOAT P" prevents dust from the coating surface and always washes out the surface by
rain.
③Apply "CERACOAT P" without adding any dilution.
④Cover coating area of "CERACOAT" for at least 12 hours to avoid damage by rain.
　　 5.Tools
Wash the painting tools by water to remove all the remaining paints after usage.

Ⅲ.Handling Caution

④When adding water, be careful not to add too much water to avoid uneven painting or painting
drops.
⑤Use up all the paint after being diluted. Should it be necessary to dispose the remainder,
distribute the paint on a waste paper for curing and send out as general industrial waste.
⑥The paint is containing glass beads which is apt to stettle to the bottom. Stir the paint well
before use.
⑦Repainting on "CERACOAT P" is not possible and, therefore, it is necessary to remove the
old paints in case of repainting after several years.

Ⅳ.Storing Caution
①Seal the paint tightly and store it in a shade and cool place. The temperature should not be
below -5℃.
②In case of brand-new "BRIGHT COAT", there will not be any change in quality for one year
or so.
