Wash Solutions for Printing Equipment
Specialized products for cleaning blankets, rollers, circulation systems, and photopolymer plates from offset and UV flexographic inks and varnishes. All wash solutions are supplied colorless in 7.5 kg packaging.
The right choice of wash solution depends on the ink type, equipment, and requirements for the final product. Standard offset printing uses a basic wash solution for blankets and rollers. UV inks and varnishes require a specialized product — a standard offset solvent is not suitable and may damage photopolymer plates. If your production involves food, pharmaceutical, or hygiene packaging, be sure to use a product with the appropriate confirmation, not a universal solvent.

Q&A
Which wash solution should I choose for photopolymer printing plates?
Only the specialized food-grade UV wash solution is suitable for photopolymer plates — the standard UV wash solution and the offset wash solution are not compatible with photopolymer and may damage the plate.
Can UV wash solutions be used in automatic washing systems?
No, the UV wash solutions in our range are designed exclusively for manual application and are not suitable for automatic blanket washing systems. Only the standard offset wash solution is suitable for automatic systems.
What is the difference between the two UV wash solutions?
The main difference is food-grade certification and compatibility with photopolymer plates. One wash solution is suitable only for non-food applications and must never be used with photopolymer. The other is designed for low-odor, low-migration UV systems, suitable for food packaging, and compatible with photopolymer plates.
Do I need a consultation before ordering a wash solution?
Yes, we recommend contacting our specialists to select the specific product for your equipment, ink type, and end-product requirements. We will provide up-to-date technical documentation and help determine the optimal option.
