1. Common sense of product selection, choose the right product according to the needs, the ink

cleaning agent is mainly composed of solvents, surfactants and other additives. Solvents mainly

refer to alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, etc., which play the role of dissolving

ink. It is the main component of ink cleaning agent and the source of volatile organic compounds.

When purchasing, you should choose the appropriate ink cleaning agent according to the type of

ink and substrate to be cleaned. From the perspective of environmental protection and cleaning

ability, the effect of using special solvent oil is the best; considering the complexity of ink

components, the effect of using a mixed solvent is better than using a single solvent.

Prioritize low-VOC products. The organic solvents of gasoline, kerosene and other cleaning

agents volatilize seriously in the printing workshop, causing pollution to the production environment

and the atmosphere, and have a serious impact on the health of workers. Therefore, low-VOC

cleaning agents can be used All industries that use organic solvents should try to avoid choosing

organic solvent cleaning agents. Water-based cleaning agent is a supplement, extension and

even replacement of traditional organic solvent cleaning agents. Its advantages are cheap,

safe and environmentally friendly, and the required chemical components are easy to obtain and

regenerate. When purchasing ink cleaning agents, for the sake of the environment and health,

give priority to water-based cleaning agents, products marked with "low VOC content" and

other environmentally friendly and safe cleaning agent products.

2. Precautions for product use, flame-proof and explosion-proof, most of the ink cleaning in the

printing industry still uses gasoline, kerosene and other traditional solvent-based cleaning agents.

Because these solvents are highly volatile, they are flammable and explosive during storage

and use. Danger. Therefore, the cleaning agent should choose a product with a high flash point.

When storing and using, care should be taken to avoid high temperature, keep away from

fire and heat sources, and avoid contact with oxidants. Pay special attention to safety during

use and take fire-fighting measures.

Dosage control, in strict accordance with the instructions for use for proportioning dilution,

and shake well. Prepare according to the demand before use. It is recommended not to

use too much each time. If the proportion is too large, it will not be easy to shake well, and

the emulsification effect is not good. If it is left for a long time, it will easily form

stratification and affect the washing effect.
