New Cleaners For Water-Based And Oil-Based Inks
TNC Chemicals has launched two new products for the cleaning of water-based and oil-based inks and the replacement of solvent cleaners.
"All matters of health and safety are being reviewed in our industry and reducing the use of solvents and using safer cleaning products is one of the main areas of concern".
"With dermatitis being a major problem in our industry and the news that personal injury claims are on the increase it is paramount that print managers start to look at safer methods of cleaning".
"We have tried several different cleaners over the years and its very easy to be scepticle and dismissive of a new product".
"We have been using TNC Chemicals product Ink Wash for the past five months and can now report on our findings".
"Ink Wash has replaced five different products, we have had no more flaking paint on our press, no whitening on the aluminium, the floors are cleaner and not slippery, the product leaves no residue, the guys using the product no longer complain about their clothes, hands and hair smelling and we have had zero cases of dermatitis since its introduction".
"We have also reduced our waste, we were producing five bags of hazardous waste in cleaning cloths alone that has now been reduced to just two bags of non hazardous waste".
"Ink Wash is also now being used by our engineers as a parts washer replacing the solvent booths we were using, we also use this product to clean in confined areas and to clean our blankets".
"I can highly recommend Ink Wash and it does exactly what it says on the tin".
