Fast-acting citrus-based aerosol screen opener designed to instantly clear clogged screen mesh while still on press, dissolving fresh or dried ink without leaving a film or oily residue. Characteristics The AlbaChem 1634 Citrus Screen Opener - 15oz Can is a fast-acting press-side screen printing cleaner formulated to quickly open clogged screen mesh without requiring the screen to be removed from the press. Designed to keep production moving, it can be sprayed directly onto clogged areas during printing to dissolve ink buildup and restore proper ink flow through the mesh. AlbaChem Citrus Screen Opener dissolves most types of screen printing ink, whether fresh or dried, making it especially useful for clearing image areas that begin to clog during longer production runs. Its citrus-based formula provides a pleasant citrus odor while delivering effective cleaning performance for everyday screen printing production. The formula is designed for use with photographic stencils and water-soluble hand-cut film and leaves no film behind after application. In addition to opening clogged mesh, Citrus Screen Opener is useful for quick spot cleanups and can help remove ink, dirt, and oil from printing press surfaces and components. For press-side use, AlbaChem recommends spraying the clogged area from approximately 6–10 inches away after a squeegee pass. The screen should reopen after approximately two or three additional squeegee passes, helping minimize production interruptions. Shipping Notice: Must ship ground only.
