Alkaline activator and screen cleaner based on biodegradable solvents

  • Kiwo Pregan Megaclean X-TRA, 1KG
  • Kiwo Pregan Megaclean X-TRA, 5KG

PREGAN MEGACLEAN X-TRA is a viscous, solvent based, alkaline screen cleaner for the removal of ink ghost images after screen decoating.

In combination with ghost image removers (e.g. PREGAN ANTIGHOST) it can also be used as an activator for the removal of emulsion and diazo residues.

High flash point and is low odour.

The high viscosity allows application by using a coating trough or brush. In usual working dilution, the cleaner/

water mixtures can be emptied into adapted biological sewage plants.

Kiwo PREGAN ANTIGHOST, 5L 

PREGAN ANTIGHOST is used for the removal of ghost images and mesh colourations.

PREGAN ANTIGHOST can unrestrictedly be used on polyester meshes, do not exceed a reaction time of 1 hour on nylon or V2A meshes.

When using V2A meshes its application can further be restricted due to varying qualities or pre-damages caused by other chemicals.

Trials are essential. PREGAN ANTIGHOST is not suitable for metallized (nickel-plated) polyester meshes.

ULANO GHOST REMOVER ADVANCE

Ghost Remover Advance is formulated for the effective removal of ink haze, ghost images, and fabric stains — especially those caused by diazo sensitizers.

There are no dwell time restrictions for Ghost Remover Advance on polyester fabric.

On nylon or stainless steel fabric, however, the dwell time should not exceed 1 hour.

Stainless steel that has been cleaned or treated with other screen chemicals may have been damaged,

so that the dwell time of Ghost Remover Advance may need to be reduced. The viscosity of Ghost Remover Advance is helpful on coarse fabric,

where it can continue to react during extended dwell times.
