One Step Clear™ reduces the reclaiming process into one simple, easy step. No longer is it necessary to first wash plastisol and UV ink off the screen and then use a reclaiming solution to remove the emulsion. With One Step Clear, plastisol and UV ink and emulsion is removed in one step that takes less than 5 minutes. One Step Clear is a low odor, non-flammable (simply will not burn), biodegradable, non-toxic solution that saves times and money. One Step Clear comes in two sizes to be used with Franmar’s large or small dip tanks. Cleans up to 600 screens with an average shelf life of 4-6 months.
APPLICATION:
One Step Clear is delivered in concentrate form. This exciting product should be used in a screen dip tank diluted 6 parts water to one part solution.
Note: In areas where there is a high iron and/or mineral content in the water, solution should be more concentrated (4 parts water to 1 part concentrate). Number of screens to be cleaned and average shelf life will be reduced with high iron and/or mineral content in the water. Deionized water can be used to obtain One Step Clear’s 6:1 dilution with effective cleaning of up to 600 screens and average shelf life of 4-6 months. Close concentrated container when not in use and store away from light in a cool place. Strong oxidant, keep away from other cleaning products.
Thoroughly scrape excess ink from the screen. Submerge screens in the solution in the dip tank. Leave submerged for 2 – 4 minutes. (Longer soaking will not harm the mesh or effect solvent based adhesives.) After soaking, take the screen out of the dip tank and use a pressurized spray to thoroughly rinse in a wash out booth. Dehazing is recommended after rinsing screen. Residuals of tougher inks left on screen can be cleaned off during the dehazing process.
When ready to replace solution, add Franmar’s One Step Clear Neutralizer to the old solution and let set over night. The neutralizer changes the solutions pH level to neutral for a safe drain disposal. After draining old solution, ensure to rinse dip tank out thoroughly with clean water before adding new solution.
