The anilox roller is a key component of the gravure printing machine, with a fine anilox on the surface for ink transfer. During the printing process, impurities such as ink and paper chips remain on the surface of the anilox roller. In order to ensure the quality of printing and prolong the service life of anilox rollers, regular cleaning of anilox rollers is required. LD-302 Anilox Roller Cleaner is a chemical preparation specially used to clean anilox rollers, which has good decontamination ability, safety and environmental protection. The composition and function of LD-302 anilox roller cleaner will be described in detail below.
1.Solvent. Solvent is the main component of LD-302 anilox roller cleaner, usually accounting for more than 80% of the total cleaning agent. The main function of solvents is to dissolve resins, pigments, and other components in inks, making them easy to clean. Commonly used solvents are ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, etc. These solvents have high solubility and low volatility, which can effectively remove ink stains from the surface of the anilox roller.
2.Surfactant.
Surfactant is another important ingredient in LD-302 anilox roller cleaner, which mainly plays a role in reducing surface tension and improving cleaning effect. Surfactants make it easier for solvents to penetrate into ink stains, which accelerates ink dissolution. Commonly used surfactants include anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, etc. These surfactants have good cleaning power and stability, and can effectively remove impurities such as oil stains and water stains on the surface of anilox rollers.
3.Corrosion inhibitors.
Corrosion inhibitor is an auxiliary ingredient in LD-302 anilox roller cleaner, which is mainly used to protect the surface of the anilox roll from corrosion during the cleaning process. Commonly used corrosion inhibitors are benzotriazole, sodium nitrate, etc. These corrosion inhibitors can form a protective film on the surface of the anilox roll, effectively preventing the corrosive effect of the cleaning agent on the anilox roll.
4.Thickeners.
The thickener is another auxiliary ingredient in LD-302 anilox roller cleaner, which is mainly used to increase the viscosity of the cleaning agent and make it easier to adhere to the surface of the anilox roller. Commonly used thickeners are hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium polyacrylate, etc. These thickeners increase the viscosity of the cleaning agent so that it is less likely to be lost during the cleaning process, thus improving the cleaning results.
5.Other additives.
In order to improve the comprehensive performance of LD-302 anilox roller cleaner, some other additives are usually added, such as defoamers, antioxidants, etc. These additives further improve the decontamination capacity, safety and environmental friendliness of cleaning agents.
LD-302 Anilox Roller Cleaner is a chemical preparation specially used to clean anilox rollers, and its components include solvents, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, thickeners, etc. These ingredients work together to decontaminate, protect and thicken, so as to ensure that LD-302 anilox roller cleaner has a good cleaning effect and safety. When using LD-302 anilox roller cleaning agent, the appropriate cleaning agent should be selected according to the material of the anilox roller, ink type and other factors to ensure the cleaning effect and prolong the service life of the anilox roller.
A complete set of cleaning methods for anilox rollers
1.Manual cleaning method: apply an appropriate cleaning agent to the surface of the anilox roller, and choose a suitable brush (such as copper wire brush or steel wire brush) according to the material of the anilox roller for cleaning.
2.Ultrasonic cleaning method: The anilox roller is immersed in a cleaning tank filled with cleaning solution, and the anilox roller is cleaned by the action of high-frequency sound waves. It should be noted that frequent use of ultrasonic cleaning may cause damage to the anilox rolls.
3.Special cleaning agent: Use a anilox roller cleaning agent specially designed for anilox rollers to clean with the corresponding cleaning method.
4.Laser cleaning: This is an emerging cleaning method that has the advantages of good cleaning results, low energy consumption, and no need to use other consumables.
