Alpha WW Low VOC Press Wash

ALPHA™ WW is a Patented, ultra-low VOC blanket and roller wash designed specifically for web printing
applications. ALPHA™ WW provides excellent performance, yet unlike many of the low VOC web
washes currently available, ALPHA™ WW does not leave behind migrating residues that leach into your
rollers. ALPHA™ WW 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 and ultra-low VOC content (less than 100
grams/liter), ALPHA™ WW benefits your pressroom by meeting or exceeding a range of health and
safety requirements and the use of 42% of renewable materials in its formulation.

* ALPHA™ WW 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™ WW to your favorite shop cloth and wipe blanket clean. (The amount of ALPHA™ WW
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™ WW does
not require diluting and doing so is not advisable.

Cleaning Rollers
Apply ALPHA™ WW 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.
