KIWO CLEAN STENCIL REMOVER CONCENTRATE - WB

KIWOCLEAN STENCIL REMOVER CONCENTRATE - WB is a concentrated emulsion reclaimer for decoating of polymer-based direct emulsions and capillary films such as Diazo and SBQ sensitized emulsions. KIWOCLEAN STENCIL REMOVER CONCENTRATE - WB is especially effective on water resistant emulsions. Its unique formulation provides for easier reclaiming in automatic reclaiming equipment. KIWOCLEAN STENCIL REMOVER CONCENTRATE - WB is a liquid concentrate which can be diluted from 1:10 parts water up to 1:20 parts water. KIWOCLEAN STENCIL REMOVER CONCENTRATE - WB does not crystallize when drying and is suitable for use in automatic reclaiming equipment.

Application

KIWOCLEAN STENCIL REMOVER CONCENTRATE - WB mixture ratios can be modified for best results depending on the type and thickness of emulsion coating and desired results.

Apply the diluted solution with a soft, clean brush evenly on both sides of the screen after the screen has been carefully cleaned of ink residue. Rub the screen gently with a brush to dissolve the emulsion.

After approximately 2 minutes, rinse thoroughly with a strong water spray. A high pressure water spray (1000 - 2000 psi, 40 - 60 bar) may be required for highly water resistant emulsions. Prolonged reaction time may result in reverse effects and does not help in the decoating process. Rather, rinse the screen and reapply fresh decoating solution.

Ensure that the diluted KIWOCLEAN STENCIL REMOVER CONCENTRATE - WB solution does not dry on the screen. This can lead to a hardening of the emulsion and the resulting emulsion residues will be extremely difficult to remove.

For automatic equipment a dwell time of 60 -120 seconds after applying the decoating solution is sufficient. If not all emulsion is removed, a second reclaiming cycle should be used to completely remove the emulsion.
