SCREEN CLEANER AK SCREEN CLEANER AK - Eastern Color & Chemical Company is offering a new and uniquely efficient solvent type cleaner, which is non-hazardous, non-combustible and serves as an excellent textile scouring agent. SCREEN CLEANER AK is environmentally acceptable showing biodegradability. Along with these many desirable characteristics, the product shows a widely diverse ability to remove greases, waxes, oils and dirt in scouring textiles, both before and after dyeing, as well as satisfying pigment printing cleaning needs. In additional to textile uses, SCREEN CLEANER AK has been found to be a most useful and efficient cleaning and scouring agent in leather processing and finishing. Applications by spraying can utilize the non-staining aspect of solvent cleaner. Other applications utilizing complete immersion techniques have also proven to be useful and desirable. In addition to the cleansing action, SCREEN CLEANER AK has been used to remove old dyes and colors from leather skins and to render them useful for re-dyeing. The recommended use level is 4-5 gallons of SCREENE CLEANER AK for every 100 pounds of leather. Have enough water in tank to moisten skins. Immerse the skins and allow for cleaning over a 1-2 hour period. Remove, rinse and dry.
