Haze remover

Using CCI Liquid Renu-It. Looking for alternatives, ideally mesh safe but tough on the stains.

We use 701 by Easiway right now, tried SAATI IR-26 works just as good lower price. My Nazdar guy came by today wanting me to try one of their Image Star products that is supposed to be just as good, no CFC's and fraction of the price. You can't go wrong with the 701 or the IR26 in my opinion, they are also degreasers so you don't need to add degreaser to your loop with either of these.

We don't even have haze remover in our shop...

Started with 701, now use IR26... no issues with staining, even with waterbase inks...  just gotta make sure that you reclaim (or at least rinse out with ink remover) the screens within a few days of printing and no issues...

We get great results with I26.
We use diluted  I26 to remove plastisol and then after we remove the emulsion we use it undiluted to clean off any stains.
We have set up a spray system, here's to a short video I posted.

I do like Liquid Renu-It but our distributer is out of stock and it will take them at least a month or more to restock.
Have to look for some alternative or order directly from the States.

One thing I was recently told about 701 is that it still has Hugh cfc's. We don't spray it, we apply to the scrubby with a squirt bottle, but it still gets atomized by pressure washer.  I'll try this image strong stuff and report back, but ir26 is looking like the new alternative

I'd suggest checking SDS also. I know this is hard to believe, but I've been mislead by a sales rep on safety of his versus theirs.

Xenon FSIC.  I have used it for all ink cleaning jobs.  Haze removing. Press wash. Parts cleaner. Screen opener. Pallet glue remover. General ink remover.  This works better than Cami 480 and is not near the odor.

CCI GR70  1 day, 5 days or a month later, ink stains go bye bye.

combo screen wash and stain remover.

use good ventilation, it makes your throat a little dry if you breath in to much of the atomized mist.

Image Technology GR-702 cheap but not quite as effective as Renuit but I like it.

We've been on Franmar D-Haze, regular not gel, for a loooong time.  I'm sure there is better out there but everything else we tried gives ya a cough.

No complaints except it won't remove heavy carbon black stains from HSA/WB but I'm not sure if anything will?

We do use 701 in our sq cleaner, good, strong ink cleaner but it didn't work as well as d-haze in our cleaning flow.  I'd love to have a unified press wash/ink cleaner/stain remover so we could consolidate dehazer into one product but haven't found one that is worker friendly and effective.
