    Reduced viscosity, to assist accurate dilution using proportional dosers, and more efficient drainage of containers, to reduce wastage.

    A frost-stable concentrate, avoiding the risk of spoilage due to freezing during winter.

    APPLICATION:
    ABCSIL 50 is dosed to clean water feeding the applicator rollers following the chilling/set stage of printing. Dosage rate will depend upon ink quality, paper type and print speed, but a guide is given in the table above.
    Dilutions of ABCSIL 50 should not be stored in the applicator bath for more than 72 hours as impurities returned from the applicator rollers may adversely affect stability.

    ABCSIL 50 is supplied in 25kg, 200kg and 1000kg containers
