Capillex® 20 – Direct Capillary Film (20 µm)

Product Overview

Capillex® 20 is a durable 20-micron direct capillary stencil film developed for high-definition screen printing in graphic, industrial and electronic applications. It is particularly suited for medium to fine mesh counts where stencil strength and extended print run performance are important.

The controlled stencil profile ensures uniform ink transfer, excellent edge definition and consistent print quality across demanding production environments.
