I think that's the VOC compliant version of C-60, or trichloroethylene. 

IIRC, it's mostly acetone, some alcohol, and a bit of hydrocarbon.

Sorry guys for the late comeback - been a bit crazy lately.  This cleaner was mineral spirits based on the feel, did not evaporate like acetone but I can't find the gallon for the life of me.  I've used it interchangeably on my plastisol and silicone inks with great results, it had an orange smell to it.  afraid I can't give the actual product number though it was a Plastisolve product, maybe 842???

well to answer my own question, i cannot get it to adhere to nylon. i had some old jackets and bag panels made of nylon in the back and did some test prints. scratches right off. adheres to the poly shirts just fine.

Just to clarify, not nylon jerseys, but rather ripstop type stuff.

i did not have any extra jerseys to test on, so i only had whatever nylon items i had laying around. not sure if the 80/20 nylon/spandex mix that the jerseys are made of would have a different result. if i can get an extra one or two from my customer, ill give them a test.

The answer is .... it depends!  :)

Really depends upon the weave, fabric treatment etc.  The product is designed for poly's not nylons.

Out of curiosity - which product number are you testing?

We tested it on a Rox volleyball jersey. 80/20 nylon/spandex. It cured, but peeled right off. Just did not adhere. Also tested it on some nylon bag panels and Ultra Club 8925 pouch jacket and had the same result. Basically whatever I had laying around that was nylon.

Works great on the poly stuff though!

I tried nylon as well and it failed, but on poly it's sweet!
