Directions:
Remove the excess ink (very important) from the screen, apply ONE STEP Emulsion Remover on both
SIDES of the screen by spraying or with a brush or rag, let it stand for few minutes, scrub then
power wash. For dip tank use, scoop off excess ink soak for few minutes then scrub
and power wash. If haze or stains still remains on screen, use a
haze remover.
Recommendations:
We recommend ONE STEP Emulsion Remover for Dip Tank use. The reason is that Plastisol ink cleaners (press wash, ink wash or ink degradants) are basically solvent based products. The majority of solvents dissolve or liquefy the Plastisol ink by separating PVC from the plasticizer in the mix.
The solvent in ONE STEP is an alcohol, compatible with the oxidizer; any other solvent will be attacked. The second reason for the recommendation of a Dip Tank is that the screen with ink and emulsion has to be soaked for few minutes and then requires power washing to get a clean screen. You can add up to five times water into the product and you would still have a strong cleaner and reclaimer.
Since ONE STEP is a water based product, the spray or wetting rug with the product procedure and cleaning the ink is not very advisable.
