Harper launches Anilox Surface Cleaner

This specially formulated cleaner is ready-to-use, and is designed to remove surface stains and residue blemishes from the surface of ceramic anilox rolls.

A proprietary emulsifier helps to break down and loosen surface stains including water and ink marks, surface line blemishes and coating residue.

Harper Corporation of America said the Anilox Surface Cleaner product is intended to ensure anilox equipment is producing optimal results. It is especially effective on coatings containing silicone.

In addition to cleaning anilox rolls, this concentrated cleaner can also be used on press components and accessories.

To use in the most effective manner, Harper Corporation of America advises spraying a liberal amount of Anilox Surface Cleaner onto a HarperScientific X-Cel pad. Then, using a circular motion, work the cleaner into the stained area keeping it wet for two to three minutes before wiping the area clean using the combination of a cloth or X-Cel pad with an alcohol-based solvent. Rinse and dry the surface and the stain will be gone, Harper Corporation of America said.
