UVA 500
Description:
UVA-500 is a special blend of solvents designed to work on ultraviolet, electron beam and hybrid cure inks. It contains no aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons and is non-damaging to EPDM rollers. It is also compatible with hybrid composite and buna-nitrile roller compounds.
Directions:
Blankets: Apply UVA-500 with a rag, and wipe in a back and forth motion. Wipe clean with a dry rag.
Rollers: Apply UVA-500 to the top rollers in the roller train. Allow to run for one minute. Engage wash-up blade and apply additional portions until rollers are clean. If rollers slip, apply wash to one side of the rollers at a time.
Product Need and Usage:
Many presses that are configured to run UV and EB cure inks are equipped with EPDM rubber compounds that are chemically-resistant to the chemistry in the inks, but are adversely affected by conventional hydrocarbon-based blanket and roller washes. These rollers require special solvents in order to effectively clean the ink, but not damage the rollers. UVA-500 has the added benefit of being compatible with conventional non-UV rollers as well. This is beneficial for shops that may be running UV on both kinds of rollers.
