Application Information
Safety First – Review Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and secure proper Personal Safety and
Protective Gear.
Hand Wash/Manual Application:
Cleaning Blankets
Apply ALPHA™ 9 to your favorite shop cloth and wipe blanket clean. (The amount of ALPHA™ 9 and
cleaning effort needed varies with how dirty your blankets are.) Blankets are now clean and ready to run.
Again, ALPHA™ 9 does not require diluting and doing so is not advisable.
Cleaning Rollers
Apply ALPHA™ 9 just like you would a conventional roller wash. Once the rollers are clean and free of
ink, flush any remaining contaminants with fresh water. Rollers are now ready to run.
