Washout + Storage Gum

2-in-1 washout and storage solution for all plate types

Washout + Storage Gum is a premium, two-in-one emulsion washout and storage solution for all plate types. Ideal for use in situations such as packaging printing where frequent cleaning of the plate is necessary.

    • Achieves plate washout and protection for plate preservation on the machine in a single application.
    • The solvent phase of the emulsion removes the ink safely without damaging the image areas, together with resins that give protection during storage.
    • The aqueous phase of the emulsion contains desensitising agents to protect non-image areas and prevent finger marking and scuffing during further handling.
    • The emulsion is sufficiently thin to allow easy application and buffing down, while being viscous enough to prevent running down the plate cylinder.
    • Eliminates the need for wet washing the plate during restart operations, for clean and fast reproduction without wastage.
    • As a plate washout : Lift forme rollers from contact with the plate and apply Washout + Storage Gum with a damp cloth. Wipe over the entire plate, taking the ink residue into the cloth. Buff down to a thin layer. During machine restart, charge the damper rollers for a few revolutions before charging the plate with ink.
    • As a plate preservation gum : Washout + Storage Gum should be applied with a lint-free cloth. Sponges are not suitable. Apply the product over the entire plate surface, ensuring that it is buffed down to a thin even film without streaks or gaps. Allow natural drying. Washout + Storage Gum is not recommended for off the press storage of plates.
    • Storage & Handling : Protect from direct sunlight. Store at moderate temperatures in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep the containers tightly closed when not in use. The use of gloves is strongly recommended while handling petroleum hydrocarbon based cleaners.
    • Shelf-life : 12 months from the date of manufacture.
    • Packing : 5 litres.
    • Precautions : Keep away from sources of heat, sparks, open flames and static electricity charges. Washout + Storage Gum should not be left on the image areas without buffing down for prolonged periods. Post wash-up with water ensures best results.
