Kiwo Automatic Unit Ink Remover

Description

KIWO INK REMOVER FOR AUTOMATIC UNITS is a moderately fast evaporating solvent mixture for the removal of most screen printing inks. It is specifically designed for cleaning screens prior to storing or reclaiming. It does not contain emulsifiers and doesn't leave any residue after drying. The high efficiency make it ideal for automated screen cleaning systems, which recircle the solvent.
Application
Before cleaning the screen, remove all ink with a scraper or spatula.

In manual application rub both sides of the screen with a rag or a brush soaked in KIWO INK REMOVER FOR AUTOMATIC UNITS until all ink residue is completely dissolved or emulsified, until the emulsion becomes clearly visible, then let the screen dry.

Should any ink residue remain on the screen, pour KIWO INK REMOVER FOR AUTOMATIC UNITS onto the screen and brush the screen every few minutes until the residue is dissolved. Remove the residue with a rag. The cleaning power can also be enhanced by adding KIWO BOOSTER to the solvent mixture. (See KIWO BOOSTER data sheet.)

The number of cycles in automatic screen cleaning equipment depend on the design of the machine and the application pressure of the solvent mixture. Evaporated material should be replenished with KIWO INK REMOVER FOR AUTOMATIC UNITS.

KIWO INK REMOVER FOR AUTOMATIC UNITS has strong cleaning power and may attack the frame adhesive if the screen is soaked in KIWO INK REMOVER FOR AUTOMATIC UNITS. Keep the soaking time as short as possible and if necessary, use a protective lacquer, such as ESTELAN AR to protect the adhesive.
