Offset Ink Cleaners: Advanced Chemicals

Limpiador offset rodillos de Ibeslab

We produce a wide range of offset ink cleaners, specially formulated for all types of ink: conventional UV-cured, UV-LED cured, waterless, oily, and hybrid inks. Certified for Food Packaging.

Our cleaners ensure the complete removal of ink residues from printing plates, blankets, and inking rollers.

TYPES OF OFFSET CLEANERS

UV INK CLEANING

  • Alcohol and glycol-based formulations are generally used to clean UV or UV-LED curable offset inks. These ibeslab mixtures offer slow evaporation, low odour and are generally low risk during handling.
  • This family of cleaners is compatible with the rubber cylinders used in UV curing machines, resistant to EPDM and other special rubbers in the printing process.
  • UV ink cleaners have a high capacity for removing ink residue, both in manual and automatic cleaning. Most are water-miscible, more environmentally friendly, and contribute to a safer working environment.

CLEANING OF OILY INKS

  • For cleaning conventional offset inks, we use products based on deodorised hydrocarbons, free from chlorinated solvents and with low toxicity for the operator.
  • The cleaners have a high dissolving power for ink residues on blankets and inking units. They are compatible with the NBR rubber used in machines that print with this type of ink.

TYPES OF OFFSET CLEANING: MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC

Bateria entintado offset de Ibeslab

Our Ibeslab ID formulations are tailored to workshop use, with products for manual cleaning or automatic cleaning machines.

MANUAL CLEANING OF INKS

These cleaners, applied with a cloth or absorbent paper, are based on medium evaporation ingredients with high ink dissolving capacity. Their fast drying time reduces printer downtime.

CLEANERS FOR AUTOMATIC EQUIPMENT

Automatic cleaning machines provide uniform cleaning of printing elements with greater operator comfort.

In these products, we incorporate slower-evaporating substances that are more effective in closed circuits for removing ink residues in a short period of time.

These cleaners reduce evaporation losses during the washing process. Reuse in multiple wash cycles ensures low cleaner consumption and reduces costs.

Frequently asked questions

How to clean UV offset ink?

Soft, lint-free cloths impregnated with UV cleaner should be used.

This cleaner should be specifically designed for use and compatible with the type of rubber and plates in the printer.

Can I use the same offset cleaner from the automatic machine for manual cleaning on the press?

Yes, although you may notice that it has a more “oily” appearance, meaning it evaporates more slowly and may need to be wiped off with a dry cloth.

Can the ink cleaner damage my inking rollers?

If the cleaning product contains any substance incompatible with the type of rubber, the roller’s surface tension could be altered or it could become deformed, causing serious printing issues or reducing the lifespan of the rubber-covered cylinder.

How often should a deep cleaning of the anilox roller in the varnishing unit be performed?

It depends on the workload, but it is recommended to perform a deep cleaning every two to three months, provided that daily cleaning is carried out using fresh varnish and an appropriate cleaner. Otherwise, the cells of the anilox roller can become clogged, significantly reducing the transfer to the substrate.
