It thoroughly degreases and evenly wets all mesh fabrics, alsohelps prevent pinholes by removing dust particles and impartinganti-static properties to the mesh,greatly assists the flow characteristics of direct emulsions.It contains a low foaming detergent mix and an active wetting agent and it contains no silicones or comparable additives.
Screen Cleaner SV (SVL38) is an expertly balanced blend ofsolvents and detergents which are used at the end of a print runfor the removal of ink residues. This blend enables the ScreenCleaner and the ink to be easily emulsified with water, and prepares the stencil surface for the rapid action of decoatingchemicals.Screen Cleaner SV is formulated for manual removal of solvent-based and UV ink residues.
Strip Powder (SSJ41) will rapidly remove direct, direct/indirect, capillaryand indirect stencils. Strip Powder can be used on all types of mesh, has no reaction with hard water, thus avoiding inactive sediment and ishighly economical – supplied as an easy soluble powder.
Antistain Paste (SJL53) is an alkaline cleaning paste which removes ink and stencil residues. It causesrapid removal of ink and diazo stains when used in conjunctionwith Screen Cleaner (SVL38)andprepares screensfor all types of stencils.
