After all printing media are removed from the screen and the same is clean, there are two possibilities: if the same stencil is used again later, the screen is set aside and stored. If not, the stencil can now be removed and the screen is reclaimed. For this process we are offering a full range of decoating chemicals. Our decoaters are suitable for all screen emulsions, which have not been hardened chemically, as well as for capillary films, but they are not suited for Indirect Gelatine films.

The mixture is biodegradable and does not contain any active chlorine, cross-linkers or bleaching compounds. Used in a dip process in PE or PP containers, only.
