Maintenance Products
-
Alphacare 805 AA
IPA Replacement
Alternative to IPA for traditional fountain solutions that normally run at high alcohol levels, safeguarding a stable ink/water balance.
-
Alphacare 810 SC
Flushing Agent
From time to time, the water cycle system in the press requires intensive cleaning and bacterial decontamination to keep the fountain solution balanced. This agent is an alkaline piping flush concentrate that removes deposits, bacteria and residuals in the piping system.
-
Alphacare 820 CF
Strong De-Glazer
Very effective calcium remover keeping the rollers in the ink train performing properly. Due to calcium deposits, rollers lose the ability to transfer and distribute the ink film evenly and controlled over time, hence the ink/water balance will be disturbed. Therefore, checking the glazing of rollers is one of the mandatory frequent tasks of operators.
-
Alphacare 831 PG
Plate Protector
This high-quality gumming solution provides good hydrophilicity and quick ink acceptance in the press and is at the same time a neutral gumming for manual application on all types of offset plates. The product protects all surface parts during longer machine stops and for plate storage.
-
Alphacare 835 PC
Plate Cleaner
The preservation of plates for later re-use requires proper treatment. This emulsion activates non-image areas and removes driedprinting ink gently from aluminum surface. The cleaner, effective on conventional inks, contains mild solvent with a slight abrasive effect to remove residues andto eliminate scratches.
-
Alphacare 841 WT
Water Conditioner
In many cases, reverse osmosis treated water is used as a standardized basis for mixing the fountain solution. Alpha care 841 WT is a concentrate, recommended to re-harden this highly purified, ultra-soft water before using in the dampening system.
-
Alphacare 851 BC
Blanket Cleaner
It is recommended to apply blanket cleaner and conditioner from time to time to remove dried ink residues. The fluid penetrates deep into the pores of the rubber surface, dissolves dried-up particles and thus refreshes and revives the rubber blanket. This cleaner works equally well with UV-and conventional inks.
-
Alphacare 853 BR
Blanket Rejuvenator
Punctures and low spots on the surface of the rubber blanket can occur during press run and impair the image transfer. This fluid lifts the compressed or punctured areas to its original shape and thus unfolds a repairing effect.
-
Alphacare 861 AX
Anilox cleaner for aqueous coating
Cells in an anilox roller are prone to get filled up by dried coatings over time. Therefor it is recommended to wash the rollers after use with a specific anilox cleaner to keep the rollers in perfect transfer condition. The formula allows for an effective removal of hard deposits of aqueous varnish from all kinds of anilox rollers.
-
Alphacare 865 AC
Anilox Concentrate for UV & Aqueous Coating
This powerful concentrate quickly opens clogged or contaminated cells in an anilox roller without the need of dismantling and taking it out of the press. The cleaning agent is best suited for all types of UV and aqueous based inks and coatings and removes even deeply embedded ink and coatingfrom cells, superseding conventional ultrasonic or other out of the press treatment.
-
Alphacare 881 MC
Metering Roller Cleaner
Metering rollers in dampening systems work as dosing instruments for precisely controlled dampening transfer to the plate cylinder. To preserve this systems functionality, periodic maintenance is required. Alphacare881 MC is a specialized fluid with strong cleaning and degreasing power to keep metering rollers in best condition.
-
Alphacare 888 ID
Ink Drying Accelerator
This Ink Drying Accelerator is a special water fountain additive which improves the surface drying of inks for sheetfed offset printing. By speeding surface drying, “ink set-off” is reduced, jobs turn over faster, with less chance of smudging and streaking and there’s an overall reduction or elimination of the use of anti-set-off spray-powder.
-
Alphacare 910 DM
Offset Plate Processer Cleaner
This processor cleaning concentrate is an acidic agent that cares for offset plates developing machines. It removes residues of plate coating and developers as well as incrustations and sediments of the water.
