In the field of screen printing, the wide variety of inks used means that a number of different cleaning solvents are required.
This is more of a problem for custom screen printing companies that print on a wide variety of media.
Traditional cleaning solvents are mixtures of benzene hydrocarbons (CMR: Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or Reprotoxic) with additives containing glycol ethers and cyclohexanone, aromatic solvents such as toluene or xylene, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone or methyl isobutyl ketone, or ethyl acetate, or methylene chloride.
All of these solvents, whether pure or mixed, are extremely dangerous in terms of toxicity, the environment and their fire risk.
While ink manufacturers are developing increasingly high-performance water-based products, operators usually continue using dangerous cleaning solvents, given the low versatility of use of water-based solvents on the resins of different chemical families (matrices).
The SERIMAX products offered by IBiotec solve all of these problems.
In line with CLP 1272/2008 (amended version 1079/2016), no ‘danger’ pictogram as regards toxicity to operators.
Flash point/evaporation rate ratio optimised for SERIMAX FAST 35, for a quick and efficient intervention time on the machine.
Suitable for all ink families, including amalgams and dry inks.
