UV chemistry is application-specific
A product effective on conventional ink may not work on UV residues. Identify the ink or coating type and whether contamination is fresh, dried or cured.
OFFSET / UV CLEANING
UV Blanket and Roller Washes
UV inks and coatings require chemistry selected for their cured or uncured binder system, the cleaning method and press-material compatibility.
Protect press materials
Aggressive cleaning may swell elastomers, change roller properties or damage coatings. Confirm permitted chemistry and run a controlled trial.
Documentation before use
Working instructions, PPE, ventilation, storage and waste handling must follow the current SDS and TDS for the selected product.
SELECTION PROTOCOL
How we approach this application
Data required for a reliable recommendation
Send the process, material, contamination, equipment, current procedure, required result, volume, packaging and documentation needs. This separates chemical selection from mechanical or procedural issues.
Controlled trial before implementation
Change one variable at a time: concentration, contact time, temperature or mechanical action. Assess the final result after drying, rinsing or restarting production, not only during application.
Documentation and safe use
Before B2B implementation, confirm current SDS/TDS, PPE, storage conditions, material compatibility and waste-handling rules for the exact product and market.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does a UV wash remove cured material?
Performance depends on formulation, degree of cure, substrate and permitted cleaning method. A trial is required.
Do you provide SDS and TDS?
Available documents are supplied for confirmed products and markets on request.
