Product Description
PERMA ALCOX-E substitutes and eliminates Isopropyl Alcohol completely when used with our fountain solutions.It delivers optimum gloss and higher ink-densities along with optimum emulsification resulting in sharp and crisp printing at lower ink and water dials.It suits both continuous as well as alcolor alcohol dampening systems.
PERMA ALCOX-E substitutes and eliminates Isopropyl Alcohol overcoming the following disadvantages of Isopropyl Alcohol as mentioned hereunder :
- 1.IPA requirement ranges from 10%-25% of the fountain solution used in the fountain tank thereby involving high cost factor.
- 2.High vapour pressure of IPA leads to continuous evaporations in the environment reducing the alcohol content in the water systems demanding additional dose of IPA for reducing waste , thus more cost again encountered.
- 3.Frequent replenishment of IPA is necessary in the fountain solution to keep the quality upgraded and plates scum free , thus again the cost factor goes on accelerating.
- 4.IPA fumes are very much toxic leading to acute health hazard,mainly headache,breathing problem,loss in temperament for working,nausea etc.
- 5.Due to very low flash point IPA encourages fire hazard in the press room.
- 6.IPA mixed fountain solution has got environmental disposal problem.
7.To arrest continuous evaporations of IPA in the solution tank perfect chilling is necessary which overburdens the cost furthermore.
- 8.IPA at times coagulates the constituents of fountain solution and hence deposition occurs on the rollers and blankets , thus inviting frequent machine downtime for cleaning.
- 9.Due to continuous evaporations of IPA the pressman always faces trouble to control the print quality.
Product Features
PERMA ALCOX-E is a perfect substitution of IPA delivering the following advantages over IPA:
- PERMA ALCOX-E is free from volatile alcohol hence no evaporation takes place even at ambient temperature in the pressroom so that environment gets free from toxic vapours and fumes.
- It is required only 2%-5% of the total fountain solution ,thereby reducing the cost factor drastically.
- PERMA ALCOX-E does not contain IPA traces and other volatile alcohol so continuous replenishment is not at all required.Thus a consistent quality is assisted.
- The flash point of PERMA ALCOX-E is higher hence fire hazard is eliminated.
- Very quick ink-water balance is established and printing is possible with minimum water prompting quite glossy printing.
- No excess foaming is observed in the tank.
- Dampening adjustment is minimized.
