Reduction and cleaning
Recommended reducers: the Normal, Fast and Slow thinner system for the Primflex line, selected according to drying needs and working viscosity. To lower ink intensity, we recommend using Primflex Reducing Varnish.
Machine cleaning is done with the same thinners used as reducers. For deep cleaning of anilox rollers, we recommend 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: Not recommended for applications requiring high temperature resistance, or for lamination.
