Performance Wash can be used for removing water-based, UV and solvent inks
A division of global anilox roller supplier Harper Corporation of America, HarperScientific, has expanded its range of cleaners with Harper Performance Wash.
The fast-acting, low foam anilox roller cleaner is highly alkaline based and suitable for removing water-based, UV and solvent inks.
Performance Wash can penetrate through several layers of ink and is ready to use at room temperature or can be heated up to 100°F. It is a concentrated solution that can be diluted with tap water depending on the cleaning method used, type of ink, and condition of the roller. The wash can also be used in automatic roller cleaning machines with rinse cycles or ultrasonic tanks.
Before using this product, the company recommends that any existing cleaners are completely flushed from the system, liquid filters are changed, and holding tanks are drained and wiped clean to prevent potential chemical reactions. Proper safety precautions including use of personal protective equipment should be followed. Any exposed aluminium should also be covered with an approved processing adapter and chips should be filled to prevent damage. The Performance Wash is not suitable for soft metals.
