Avient 85570 ASI Ultra Gold Shimmer LC - 1 Gallon
Premium low-cure gold shimmer plastisol ink formulated with fine-to-medium metallic flakes to produce a brilliant ultra-gold shimmer effect with a smooth, soft feel for high-impact textile screen printing applications.
Characteristics
Avient 85570 ASI Ultra Gold Shimmer LC is a ready-to-use specialty plastisol screen printing ink designed to produce a brilliant metallic gold shimmer effect on printed garments. Formulated with fine-to-medium metallic particles, the ink creates an eye-catching reflective appearance while maintaining a smooth, soft printed surface.
Designed for specialty textile printing, Ultra Gold Shimmer LC combines metallic visual impact with excellent adhesion, stretch, and wash durability. The press-ready formulation makes it easy to incorporate premium metallic effects into apparel graphics without requiring printers to formulate their own shimmer ink.
The low-cure formulation helps reduce the amount of heat required during production, making it a useful option for shops looking to achieve specialty metallic effects while improving curing efficiency. Ultra Gold Shimmer can be printed directly onto suitable fabrics or over an appropriate underbase when additional opacity or bleed resistance is required.
85570 Ultra Gold Shimmer can also be tinted with compatible plastisol colorants to create customized metallic shades and specialty effects. It may also be combined with compatible Infinite FX bases or clears to expand creative possibilities.
For multi-color designs, Ultra Gold Shimmer is best positioned as the final print color whenever possible to help maintain the appearance of the metallic particles. Proper screen tension, mesh selection, ink deposit, and curing are important for achieving consistent shimmer performance.
