Method of Use
For automatic settings consult manufacturers guidelines and set the washing device to optimize the cleaning cycle.
For manual use it can be pre-diluted with water at any given ratio depending on the customer’s preferences. A higher ratio of solvent will naturally improve cleaning power and vice versa. Apply to a lint free cloth or sponge and wipe over the affected area. Finish by wiping with water using a separate cloth and allow to dry before restarting.
Suitable for most flexographic printing presses old and new.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store solvents safely within the printing environment to allow them to acclimatise to pressroom conditions – working temperatures will affect evaporation speed of solvents and hence can influence their effectiveness. Consult own company risk assessment and fire risk assessment for guidance on suitable storage containers depending on properties of the chemical.
If left unopened and kept in the correct conditions this product has a recommended shelf life of 12 months.
