The blend of solvents in Suncure EC OEM Wash delivers excellent ink-cutting ability, breaking down cured and uncured energy curable inks quickly and thoroughly. Unlike some press washes that leave behind an oily residue that can interfere with subsequent print jobs or ink adhesion, Suncure EC OEM Wash evaporates cleanly and leaves press surfaces ready for the next run. It also provides the corrosion protection required for FOGRA approval, protecting metal components in the dampening and ink systems from oxidation and long-term wear.

EPDM-safe formulation ensures compatibility with the rubber components commonly found in manroland and Heidelberg EC press configurations, where EPDM rollers and seals are standard.

Formulated properties include:

• Water miscible formula for easy rinsing and reduced residue
• Baldwin approved for use on Baldwin automatic blanket washing systems
• Excellent ink cutting performance against a wide range of sheetfed offset inks
• Medium drying speed — fast enough for production use without excessive solvent retention

Automatic blanket washing systems maintain blanket cleanliness between impressions, reducing the makeready time and paper waste associated with manual blanket washing during ink changes or at the start of each job. Using a properly formulated automatic blanket wash like Y-921 ensures the system operates efficiently without leaving wash residue on the blanket, which can cause hickeys, slur, or ink-water balance problems on the following run. The water-miscible formula also simplifies cleanup and is compatible with aqueous dampening systems.

Sun Wash Y-921 is available for order online or by phone. Contact us for volume pricing, technical data sheets, and compatibility guidance for your specific automatic blanket washing system.
