Description

ALPHA™ TW is a Patented, ultra-low VOC tech wash designed particularly for use in diverse pressrooms
which offer conventional, digital and high capacity photo copy printing. ALPHA™ TW has excellent
blanket and roller cleaning ability, yet it does not leave behind migrating residues that compromise your
blankets, rollers or print quality. ALPHA™ TW can be used manually, as well as in cloth or brush AutoWash Systems*, and requires no premixing or diluting. In addition to its versatility and ultra-low VOC content (less than 100 grams/liter), ALPHA™ TW benefits your pressroom by meeting or exceeding a
range of health and safety requirements and contains no Hazardous Air Pollutants.

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

Apply ALPHA™ TW 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.
