Alpha PW Low VOC Press Wash

ALPHA™ PW is a Patented, low VOC blanket and roller wash designed specifically for use in publication printing.
ALPHA™ PW provides great performance on open or contemporary heat-set webs that run light,
uncoated stock commonly used in publication printing. ALPHA™ PW requires no premixing or diluting
and can be used manually, as well as in cloth and brush Auto-Wash Systems*. In addition to its
versatility, ALPHA™ PW benefits your pressroom by meeting or exceeding a range of health and safety
requirements.

*ALPHA™ PW is not recommended for use on equipment with catalytic converters.

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™ PW to your favorite shop cloth and wipe blanket clean. (The amount of ALPHA™ PW
and cleaning effort needed varies with how dirty your blankets are.) A quick follow-up with a water dampened cloth is recommended. Blankets are now clean and ready to run. Again, ALPHA™ PW does
not require diluting and doing so is not advisable.

Cleaning Rollers
Apply ALPHA™ PW 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.

Automatic Wash Systems:
Cleaning Blankets and Rollers
Simply follow the same procedures as when using traditional auto-wash products. For first time
installations, we recommend consulting with an Explorer Pressroom Solutions representative prior to use.
