Reduction and cleaning
Water-soluble, with limited compatibility with retarders (glycols allowed) or accelerants (alcohols), not exceeding 5%. Dilution with water should be done carefully, starting at a 2%-3% ratio. To significantly lower intensity, use Primcor Reducing Varnish.
Clean the machine immediately after finishing the job, with water. If the ink has dried, use ammoniated water. For deep cleaning of anilox rollers, use Limpianilox 61-1001.
Storage and packaging
Store under normal humidity and temperature conditions. Avoid intense cold.
20 kg pails or 200 kg drums.
Please note: *Consult our technical team before selecting shades for cold-storage resistance.
