AlbaChem® S.P.I.F. PLUS Cured Ink Remover #1290

AlbaChem® S.P.I.F. PLUS Cured Ink Remover is a powerful professional spot-cleaning solution designed to remove cured plastisol ink, most water-based screen printing inks, and adhesives from textiles.

Ideal for screen printing shops, garment decorators, and production facilities, S.P.I.F. PLUS helps rescue shirts and other printed textiles when unwanted ink, misprints, or adhesive residue need to be removed. Its slow-evaporating ester-solvent formula provides more working time and reduces product loss through evaporation compared with fast-drying spotting chemicals.

Powerful Cured Screen Printing Ink Remover

S.P.I.F. PLUS is formulated specifically for textile spot cleaning and can remove:

• Cured plastisol screen printing ink
• Most water-based inks
• Screen printing ink stains and misprints
• Adhesive residue
• Ink from a wide variety of textiles

For best results, S.P.I.F. PLUS should be used with a professional spot cleaning gun and an air drying gun capable of more than 100 PSI.

Slow-Evaporating Formula for Professional Spot Cleaning

Unlike traditional cured ink removers that can evaporate very quickly, S.P.I.F. PLUS is intentionally slow evaporating. This gives the cleaner more time to work on difficult cured ink stains while helping reduce solvent loss.

Because of the slower evaporation rate, a high-pressure air drying gun of more than 100 PSI is recommended to remove excess liquid and speed the drying process.

How to Use AlbaChem S.P.I.F. PLUS

1. Shake well before use.
2. Pour S.P.I.F. PLUS into the jar of your spot cleaning gun.
3. Place the stained garment on a vacuum cleaning surface to help remove solvent vapors.
4. Spray the cleaner onto the stained area.
5. Work in a circular motion, moving from the outside edge of the stain toward the center.
6. Once the stain has been removed, feather the surrounding area so there is no sharp outline.
7. Using an air drying gun rated at more than 100 PSI, sweep across the wet area to blast excess liquid from the fabric.
8. Repeat if necessary.
