Stir well before use!
No surface preparation needed before applying the washing solution. If there are contaminations on the surface, they well be effectively eliminated by the solution.
- Apply with a rag, a brush, a roll or by pouring (soaking in a container). An even layer of washing solution is applied, then left on the surface until the treated coat softens and/or leaks off the surface, 1-15 minutes. If coated areas remain on the surface, they are exposed to second treatment. Softened coats are removed with a rag, running water or with a high pressure device. Never let the washing solution dry down on the cleaned surface before the ink layers is completely removed.
- Wash photopolymer plates (clichés) in automated jet washing machines, or manually:
Fill the washing machine tank with water/MONGOOSE U-1 50% / 50% solution. Set the active solution temperature at 40-60⁰С. Start and complete the automated washing. If the result is unsatisfactory, repeat washing, gradually increasing the washing solution concentration to 70%.
Usually, printing ink is removed with a 30% - 70% MONGOOSE U-7 solution.
After the treatment with any application method, depending on subsequent operations, rinse the surface with water or an industrial detergent.
- For application, use protective clothing and respiratory system protection equipment, i.e. respirators, goggles for the eyes, protective gloves for the hands, such as Ultranitril 492 or Technic 401
- Use aprons for clothing protection
- Keep away from children
- Do not smell
- In case of eye contact, immediately wash the eyes under running water and contact a doctor for help
