Charlotte, NC - June 19, 2007 -
HarperScientific™, the printing and coating supplies division of global anilox
supplier Harper Corporation of America, announces the introduction of AltraWash
Green™, an environmentally friendly and aluminum-safe multi-purpose cleaner for
water-based inks.
"AltraWash Green™ is revolutionary," said Tony Donato, Technical
Sales Solutions Manager at HarperScientific. "Not only is it exceedingly
environmentally friendly, but it is perfectly safe for aluminum, which opens it
up to a multitude of uses."
Because aluminum is used in the construction of lightweight anilox
rolls and most anilox sleeves, printers need to choose their cleaners with care
if they are to protect their anilox investments. AltraWash Green's™ cleaning
formula is non-corrosive to aluminum, so it is ideal for anilox cleaning on or
off-press. It is also designed to be safe and effective for use in pressure
washing systems, soak tanks, ultrasonic tanks or flushing through the entire
ink system.
The new cleaner's advanced surfactant technology is exceedingly environmentally
friendly, using no petroleum distillates or environmentally hazardous
chemicals. It is biodegradable, has low vapor pressure and produces no V.O.C.s.
AltraWash Green™ has a pH of 11.8. Available exclusively through
HarperScientific, this concentrated formula, which can be diluted with water,
is sold in 1 gallon, 5 gallon, 30 gallon and 55 gallon containers.
HarperScientific is the manufacturer of CeramClean II™ and
CeramClean SOLV-IT™ anilox cleaners, a wide variety of flexographic and gravure
hand-proofing systems, and DuroSeal™ chamber blade end seals.
