Varn Calcium Eliminator

Outperforms Traditional Metering Roller Cleaners

Varn® Specialty Chemical: Cleaner & Rejuvenator

Varn® Calcium Eliminator answers the problem of eliminating calcium build-up caused by hard water and the increased use of alkaline papers. Calcium build-up, in the form of white glaze, robs rollers of their printability and eventually causes stripping and complete loss of productivity. This calcium glaze is not readily water-soluble or solvent-soluble and is not removed by conventional glaze removers. Regular use of Varn® Calcium Eliminator will prevent this build-up.

Advantages:

• Highly effective cleaner - very economical
• Water based, environmental formula has no VOC or SARA III hazardous ingredients
• Higher viscosity clings to rollers for superior cleaning and flushes with water to remove calcium glaze easily

Specifications:
Flash Point: N/A
No VOC Content
No SARA III Reportables
Mild Citrus Odor

Directions:

Blankets:
Wearing rubber gloves, apply Calcium Eliminator full strength to a damp rag and thoroughly wipe blanket. Rinse liberally with water and follow up with a water miscible blanket wash.

Rollers:
Disengage the ink train from the plate cylinder and the dampening system. Dilute Calcium Eliminator 1:1 with water and run into ink roller train for at least 3 minutes. Flush roller train with water until completely clean. Follow up with a water miscible roller wash mixed with 30% water. To remove very heavy build-up, use more concentrated or full strength.

CAUTION:
Both blankets and rollers must be thoroughly rinsed with water after treatment with Varn's Calcium Eliminator. After removal of initial calcium build-up, use diluted solutions of 5 parts water to 1 part Calcium Eliminator for weekly maintenance. Not recommended for use on dampening systems.
