In 1990 Sericol was given the Queens Award for Technological Achievement in acknowledgement of its pioneering work with screen printing emulsions- specifically, the development of DIRASOL 900 range of diazo photopolymer emulsions. These advanced products answered customer needs for a range of stencil emulsions that would work with all the ink systems, compete for quality with photostencil films and were easy to process. These world beating Dirasol range of emulsions had great impact on print quality and they continue to cater to all screen printer's requirements from graphic to textile printing.
