Features Of CLEANER 3# Ink Cleaning Agent

  1. Fast-acting solvent blend optimized for rapid removal of dried and cured UV, solvent-based, and hybrid inks from precision printing components.

  2. Non-chlorinated and low-VOC formulation compliant with global industrial hygiene and air quality standards (e.g., EPA SNAP, EU VOC Directive).

  3. Non-corrosive to stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and hardened elastomers—preserves equipment integrity during repeated cleaning cycles.

  4. Low surface tension and high solvency power enable deep penetration into micro-gaps and ink traps on doctor blades, rollers, and printhead assemblies.

  5. Odor-controlled profile with added stabilizers to minimize evaporation loss and extend bath life in recirculating cleaning systems.

Typical Applications Of CLEANER 3# Ink Cleaning Agent

  1. Off-press cleaning of flexographic anilox rolls and ceramic sleeves in packaging print facilities.

  2. Maintenance cleaning of digital inkjet printheads (piezoelectric and thermal) between color changes or production shifts.

  3. Removal of ink residue from gravure cylinders, metering blades, and ink fountain components in high-speed rotogravure lines.

  4. Cleaning of ink delivery manifolds, filters, and dosing pumps in continuous ink circulation systems.

  5. Pre-startup and shutdown decontamination of ink transfer systems in food packaging and pharmaceutical-grade printing operations.

CLEANER 3# Ink Cleaning Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for CLEANER 3# Ink Cleaning Agent?

A: CLEANER 3# is a proprietary multi-component formulation and does not have a single CAS number; individual constituents are listed in Section 3 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), available upon request.


Q2: What is the recommended dilution ratio for ultrasonic cleaning applications?

A: For ultrasonic cleaning of anilox rolls and printheads, use undiluted CLEANER 3# at 20–25°C for 5–10 minutes; no dilution required. Dilution is not advised as it reduces solvency and may compromise residue removal efficacy.


Q3: How does CLEANER 3# compare to traditional acetone- or toluene-based cleaners in terms of safety and performance?

A: CLEANER 3# delivers comparable ink-dissolving power without the high flammability, neurotoxicity, or ozone-depleting potential of acetone, toluene, or chlorinated solvents—validated via ASTM D4291 and ISO 8502-9 testing.


Q4: Is CLEANER 3# suitable for use in food-contact printing equipment? Does it meet FDA or EU migration requirements?

A: CLEANER 3# is not intended for direct food contact; however, when used per validated cleaning procedures (including full rinse with potable water and verification via ATP swab testing), residual levels comply with EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and FDA 21 CFR §176.170 for indirect food contact surfaces.
