Ink Removers

AST stocks alternatives to flammable solvents like Lacquer Thinner, and poor performing cleaners like Mineral Spirits.
Our California-based compliance manufacturer gives us blends of low-hazard chemicals to target most ink cleaning needs.
These formulas came out of a co-op venture between our trade association and the E.P.A., finding safer methods for our printing process.
They can be pump-sprayed for economical use, and some can be used with a water rinse of your non-hazardous inks.

For more info on the EPA/SGIA "Design for Environment" Co-op go to DfE for detailed info on that past program.
