Pregan Anti-Ghost

1. Description

PREGAN ANTI-GHOST is a liquid haze remover for the removal of most ink stains and emulsion residue in the screen. It is formulated to be coated or sprayed onto the screen and react during the drying process. Once dried on the screen it does not react further. This allows for reaction over several hours or even over night, without damage to the screen.

Before using PREGAN ANTI-GHOST, the screen must be reclaimed.

Apply PREGAN ANTI-GHOST onto both sides of the screen using a low pressure spray, sponge, rag or a stainless steel coating trough. Dispose of any excess ANTI-GHOST left in the coating trough, do not pour it back into the container.

Let the treated screen dry until the ANTI-GHOST crystallizes on the screen. The drying time depends on temperature and humidity and can be in excess of one hour. Force drying with fans or in drying ovens has shown good success, but test trials are recommended. Very long drying time may affect the screen fabric, but the effectiveness is reduced drastically, once PREGAN ANTI-GHOST is dried. Dry screens can be left for several hours or over night.

Rewetting and thorough rinsing with water, followed by a high pressure rinse is sufficient for removal of diazo stains. For tougher stains and ink residue a rewet the screen with PREGAN C 404 B. Pour PREGAN C 404 B onto the screen and brush from both sides to re-dissolve the PREGAN ANTI-GHOST. Then rinse with water and follow with a high pressure washer to remove the dissolved and emulsified residue.

PREGAN C 404 B has strong cleaning power and may attack the frame adhesive if the screen is soaked too long. Keep the soaking time as short as possible and if necessary, use a protective lacquer, such as ESTELAN AR to protect the adhesive.
