Kiwo Ink Remover

Description

KIWO INK REMOVER is a moderately fast evaporating solvent mixture for the removal of most screen printing inks. It is designed for manually cleaning screens prior to storing or reclaiming. It does not contain emulsifiers and doesn't leave any residue after drying. The slower evaporation rate and mild odor make it ideal for manual wash-out booths, which recirculate the solvent.

Before cleaning the screen, remove all ink with a scraper or spatula. Rub both sides of the screen with a rag or a brush soaked in KIWO INK REMOVER 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 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.)

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