Aging depends on the system and ratios used. If the working solution shows signs of less cleaning, add more KIWOCLEAN AQ 508 STENCIL REMOVER concentrate to boost the reclaiming – add more KIWOCLEAN AQ 808 INK WASH concentrate to boost the ink removing cleaning.

The products need to be mixed within 1-2 weeks of use. Record the final ratio and maintain the working solution. If the solution needs to be more cost effective, add more water.Ĭontinue to adjust the solution ratios until the required working solution is found. If more ink removing power is needed, add more KIWOCLEAN AQ 808 INK WASH concentrate. If more reclaiming power is needed, add more KIWOCLEAN AQ 508 STENCIL REMOVER concentrate. Once stirred, the solution will appear milky white in color. Note: The solution needs to be stirred before each use. Test the mixture on a typical production screen. Then mix 1 part KIWOCLEAN AQ 808 INK WASH concentrate. Start by mixing 2 parts KIWOCLEAN AQ 508 STENCIL REMOVER concentrate with 4 parts of water. When coating, the spray mist may cause localized hardening of the photo emulsion which will remain in the open areas after developing.

During de-coating, KIWOCLEAN a spray mist is produced which can settle on screens stored in the same room. Notice: Never allow KIWOCLEAN AQ 508 STENCIL REMOVER concentrate solution to dry on a stenciled screen, as it will hardened the emulsion coating to the point it will be impossible to remove, or very difficult at best.Įnsure that de-coating, coating and degreasing always take place in separate areas and at different times.

It is useful to fill the tank only 90% full in initial testing to allow fine tuning the cleaning mixture for optimum results. Mix the required amounts using suggested ratios above in the tank of the machine. A typical mixture would contain the following ratios of product:įor help with unusual inks or stencils, please contact KIWO, Inc. A typical mixture would contain the following ratios of product:įor difficult to clean inks and/or for water resistant emulsions, use less water. 508 Stencil Removerįor Plastisol and/or UV inks, begin with 5 gallons of water for each gallon of 508. There should generally be two gallons of 808 for each gallon of 508. General Instructions: Determine the capacity of the tank and calculate the required amounts of water, KIWOCLEAN AQ 808 INK WASH concentrate (808) and KIWOCLEAN AQ 508 STENCIL REMOVER concentrate (508). If not all emulsion is removed, a second reclaiming cycle should be used to completely remove the emulsion. This can lead to a hardening of the emulsion and the resulting emulsion residues will be extremely difficult to remove.įor automatic equipment a dwell time of 60 -120 seconds after applying the de-coating solution is sufficient. Rather, rinse the screen and reapply fresh KIWOCLEAN AQ 508 STENCIL REMOVER concentrate.Įnsure that the KIWOCLEAN AQ 508 STENCIL REMOVER concentrate solution does not dry on the screen. Prolonged reaction time may result in reverse effects and does not help in the de-coating process. A high pressure water spray (1000 - 2000 psi, 40 - 60 bar) may be required for highly water resistant emulsions. Rub the screen gently with a brush to dissolve the emulsion.Īfter approximately 2 minutes, rinse thoroughly with a strong water spray. 508 Stencil RemoverĪpply the diluted KIWOCLEAN AQ 508 STENCIL REMOVER concentrate solution with a soft, clean brush evenly on both sides of the screen after the screen has been carefully cleaned of ink residue.

It can also be used in combination with KIWO water based screen cleaners, e.g.
