Ink printing wipe product solvent resistance and anti-penetration solution

In the ink printing production process, the cleaning and maintenance of precision equipment directly affects production efficiency and finished product quality. From ink raw material preparation to printing equipment debugging, each link faces challenges such as stubborn ink residues and solvent penetration pollution. Scientific choice of ink printing and wiping products can not only improve cleaning efficiency by more than 30%, but also effectively extend the service life of the equipment. This article will combine specific production scenarios to systematically analyze the cleaning solutions and technical specifications of five key processes.

Ink raw material preparation link: When dealing with highly corrosive chemical media, the equipment is often exposed to high-concentration resins, organic solvents and heavy metal pigments. Test data from a certain brand's production workshop shows that when using ordinary cotton wipes to treat oily inks, the residual rate is as high as 18%, while the professional wipes can control the residue within 3%.

Recommended consumables solutions:

1. Corrosion-resistant composite wipe cloth: It uses 70% polyester fiber and 30% wood pulp composite process, and is verified by ASTM F715 standard test and resistant to chemical environments with pH 2-12. Especially suitable for ink wipe on the inner wall of the mixing tank, its three-dimensional fiber structure can penetrate deep into the gaps of the 0.1mm level equipment.

2. Super strong oil-absorbing wipe: The Kelinwei Mn material series products have been tested in laboratory and have an oil-absorbing unit area of 4.8g/cm², which is 3.2 times that of ordinary nonwoven fabrics. Its honeycomb-like fiber structure is like a micro-ink memory, and is especially suitable for ink wipes on the outer wall of the storage tank.

3. Anti-permeable liquid-absorbing cotton: uses PP and SAP polymer composite technology to instantly cure leaking solvents. An application case in a printing factory showed that the material reduced the chemical volatiles concentration from 800ppm to below 50ppm.

Precision plate making and cleaning process: The surface roughness of the chrome-plated roller of standard printing press must be controlled within Ra0.05μm, which is equivalent to 1/150 of the diameter of human hair. The fine scratches caused by improper wiping will cause uneven ink transfer, which will directly affect the molding accuracy of the printing outlets.

Professional cleaning solution:

1.Microfiber wipe cloth: It is blended with 16μm grade polyester filaments and viscose fibers, and its fiber fineness is only 1/5 of that of ordinary nonwoven fabrics. After SEM electron microscopy, it was confirmed that the number of particles left on the surface of this material after wiping is<50 pieces/cm², perfectly meeting the cleaning needs of CTP plate making machines.

2. Anti-static wipe system: The wipe cloth integrated with the carbon fiber conductive layer can eliminate static electricity above 1500V, effectively preventing the secondary adsorption of fine ink particles. Data from a packaging printing company showed that the plan increased the printing plate cleaning pass rate from 82% to 98%.

3. Microporous structure cleaning cotton: has a gradient pore size distribution of 0.01-1μm, which can target ink particles of different particle sizes. Laboratory comparison tests show that the material's removal efficiency of UV ink is 40% higher than that of traditional materials.

Optimization solution for operation suggestions: When using 70% isopropanol solution as the base solvent, the chemical reaction synergy effect can be achieved with professional ink printing and wiping products.

Laboratory data show that this combination can increase the ink dissolution rate by 25%, while compressing the drying time to 2/3 of the conventional method.

3. Screen printing screen cleaning technical specifications. The micropore blockage of mesh plates is like a vascular embolism, which directly affects the printing accuracy. The fiber debris (average particle size 15-20μm) remaining on traditional cotton fabrics are prone to secondary pollution, while the highly corrosive solvent may cause swelling deformation of 0.02-0.05mm of the photosensitive adhesive layer.

Structured Solution:

Multi-stage filtration wipe system - Nano-scale mesh wipe cloth: Through 500 mesh precision weaving process, it can intercept ink particles of >5μm (equivalent to 1/14 of the diameter of human hair) - Dual-effect cleaning combination: water-based environmentally friendly cleaning agent + double-sided wipe technology, 98% mesh residue can be removed in a single operation - Super oil-absorbent material: Each gram of strong oil-absorbent wipe cloth can adsorb 3.2g of organic solvent, especially suitable for centralized cleaning of scraper areas

Industry test data confirm that after adopting this system, the ink transmittance of the mesh plate is stable at more than 92%, and the number of cleanings per day is reduced by 40%, which significantly reduces the loss rate of the photosensitive adhesive layer.

4. Comprehensive maintenance system of printing equipment. Modern printing units are like precision instruments and need to deal with composite pollution scenarios such as lubricant penetration, UV ink curing residues, hydraulic oil splashing, etc. It is recommended to adopt a three-level protection mechanism:

1. The surface pretreatment stage of glue removal mesh fabric adopts polyester/viscosity blending technology, and its honeycomb-like mesh structure improves glue removal efficiency by 60% compared with traditional methods. After SGS detection, the particulate matter pollution index generated by this material was reduced to below 0.3ppm.

2. Deep cleaning process - Multi-texture wipe cloth: Cross-weaving process makes the chip loss amount<0.1mg/dm² - Layered adsorption scheme: Oil-absorbing cotton prioritizes ground leakage (adsorption ratio reaches 1:9), and then fine wipes the equipment surface

5. Digital spray dust-free control standard is in a clean environment of 10,000 levels, and 0.5mg/m² of dust residue can cause the spray hole to be blocked. It is recommended to implement dual guarantees:

1. Dynamic cleaning standard - The fiber gap of dust-free oil-absorbing cloth is accurately controlled at 2-5μm, just like wearing a "nano-level mask" on the equipment - The special cloth for printing head maintenance must pass ISO level 4 cleaning certification, and the amount of edge chips must be strictly tested by laser counter

2. The preventive maintenance system introduces SPC statistical process control, and sets the nozzle blocking warning line to 15,000 printings. After a well-known UV equipment manufacturer applied the solution, the unplanned downtime was shortened to less than 45 minutes per month.

Industrial upgrading data shows that enterprises that establish standardized cleaning processes have increased the comprehensive OEE efficiency of their equipment by 5.8 percentage points, and the cost of consumption of auxiliary materials has decreased by 12.7% month-on-month.

In the modern industrial production system, the selection decision of ink printing and wiping products has evolved into a strategic behavior that concerns the core competitiveness of the enterprise. According to a report by the Printing Industry Association in 2023, more than 62% of equipment downtime accidents are caused by mechanical wear caused by low-quality consumables, which directly confirms the decisive relationship between consumables selection and enterprise production efficiency.  As a key medium of the printing process, professional wipe consumables carry three core technical indicators: the fiber density must reach 120g/m² to ensure ink transfer efficiency, the pH value must be strictly controlled in the range of 6.5-7.5 to prevent equipment corrosion, and the anti-static coefficient directly affects the high-speed printing stability of 60 sheets per minute. A well-known packaging company successfully extended the printing press maintenance cycle by 40% by establishing a consumables performance evaluation system, saving more than 280,000 yuan in annual equipment operation and maintenance costs.
