Keeping Anilox Rolls Clean
Meeting customer's needs requires a consistent and predicatable ink volume transfer to a substrate. Accurate ink volume transfer is particularly important in fine process printing when multiple colors are used. To minimize color corrections, the volume of ink has to be predicatble.
While lazer engraved ceramic Anilox rolls are considered to have 7 times better wear resistance than chrome rolls, which allows a longer printing consistancy, it is harder to clean and remove dry ink from it's cells. Since water based inks contain cross-linking additives, when the ink dries, it is even more difficult to remove it.
While several cleaners are available on the market, most do not remove all the dry ink, and allow the Anilox cell's volume to be reduced. DZ338, however, is different. It dissolves the dry ink build up and restores the cell's original volume.
DZ338 can be used to remove water based inks as well as solvent based. It can be used either on or off press cleaning. Cleaning with DZ338 on a regular basis can eliminate that "major cleaning" as well as eliminate the need for ultrasonic cleaning, soda blasting, ice blasting, etc.
Cleaning Made Easier
Apply a generous amount of DZ338 covering the entire surface of the roll, while the roll is turning. The idle motor can accomplish that. Equally useful is filling the pan with DZ338 and letting the roll run and pick up the cleaner. Allow several minutes for the DZ338 to penetrate and dissolve the ink. Brushing with a nylon brush will facilitate the cleaning. Wipe the roll with a lint-free rag. Repeat the application and wipe off until no ink traces are showing on the rag. For removal of cleaner residue and drying, the roll is wiped with an alcohol (isopropyl) soaked rag. DZ338 can also be used to remove varnishes, adhesives, paints, and a variety of coatings, cured or uncured.

Compatibility
DZ338 is compatible with ceramic and all ferrous and non-ferrous metals including: Carbon steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum, Magnesium, Copper, and others. While compatible with HDPE, polypropylene and nylon, it is not compatible with rubber and should not be used on rubber rolls or rubber plates.
DZ338 does not require costly equipment such as blasting or ultrasonic equipment. It acts on contact. It can be poured, applied by a brush, or used in a dip tank.
A Safe Work Place
Good local ventilation is always recommended. To protect eyes from splashing, goggles are recommended as well as gloves. For further safety information, please consult the Material Safety Data Sheet.
Minimizes Health and Safety Hazards
DZ338 is designed to minimize health and safety hazards. It contains no halogens and no CFC's. It is non-ozone depleting. A slow evaporator, it presents minimal air polluting potential.
