1. Description

KIWO ULTIMATE INK WASH AND HAZE REMOVER ACTIVATOR is a moderately slow evaporating solvent mixture for the removal of most screen printing inks. It is designed for manually cleaning screens prior to reclaiming. If screens are to be stored after cleaning, the remaining residue of the solvent must be washed off with water or KIWO INK REMOVER. It can also be used as activator in combination with KIWO HAZE REMOVER.

Before decoating the screen, remove all ink with a scraper or spatula. Rub both sides of the screen with a rag soaked in KIWO ULTIMATE INK WASH until all ink residue is completely dissolved or emulsified, until the emulsion becomes clearly visible, then rinse well with water.

Should any ink residue remain on the screen, pour KIWO ULTIMATE INK WASH AND HAZE REMOVER ACTIVATOR onto the screen and brush the screen every few minutes until the residue is dissolved. Remove the residue with a rag and rinse well with water.

KIWO ULTIMATE INK WASH AND HAZE REMOVER ACTIVATOR may attack the frame adhesive if the screen is not rinsed with water after cleaning. Keep the soaking time as short as possible and if necessary, use a protective lacquer, such as ESTELAN AR to protect the adhesive.

In combination with KIWO HAZE REMOVER, use this product to redissolve the completely dried HAZE REMOVER on the screen by rubbing the screen with a rag or brush soaked in KIWO ULTIMATE INK WASH AND HAZE REMOVER ACTIVATOR. Then rinse the screen with running water and remove the dissolved and emulsified haze with a high pressure washer. (See KIWO HAZE REMOVER data sheet).
