Chromaline Textile Press Wash iSC - 5 Gallon
Low-odor, medium-drying on-press textile ink cleaner designed for fast color changes, clearing stencil openings, and removing plastisol and UV-cured inks during screen printing production.
Characteristics
Chromaline Textile Press Wash iSC is a professional on-press screen cleaner formulated for textile screen printing operations that need an efficient way to remove ink during production without completely reclaiming the screen.
Designed specifically for press-side cleaning, Textile Press Wash iSC is ideal for quick color changes when working with plastisol inks. The cleaner helps remove remaining ink from the screen so operators can transition between colors while minimizing production downtime.
Textile Press Wash iSC can also be used to clear ink from stencil openings during a production run. This makes it useful when ink begins accumulating or drying in image areas and interferes with proper ink transfer.
The formula is recommended for use with plastisol and UV-cured inks and provides a medium drying speed that gives operators sufficient working time for cleaning while still allowing the product to evaporate before printing resumes.
Its low-odor formulation provides a more comfortable working environment for press operators compared with stronger-smelling solvent cleaners. Textile Press Wash iSC also features a pleasant apple scent.
When used as part of Chromaline's integrated Screen Chemistry (iSC) system, Textile Press Wash iSC helps maintain screen performance throughout production. It is especially well suited for use with Chromaline emulsions and is designed to help avoid stencil lock-in.
Textile Press Wash iSC can also be used to remove ink from screens that will be saved and stored for future production, helping preserve the stencil rather than requiring the screen to be completely reclaimed after each job.
For additional versatility with water-based inks, Chromaline recommends beginning with a diluted mixture of 2 parts Textile Press Wash to 8 parts water. Depending on the ink and printing conditions, a weaker 1-to-9 mixture may provide better results.
Available in multiple container sizes, Textile Press Wash iSC is suitable for individual press stations as well as higher-volume production environments using Chromaline's chemical dispensing systems.
