Ecotex Screen Printing Emulsion Remover, Diazo Photo Stencil Remover, Pt

This arrived very securely packaged. Just a couple of spray on the front and then on the back of a pre-wet screen and the emulsion is gone. I did one current screen and one that was about 8 months or older, came off so incredibly easy. This is a must have. If you can afford and will be doing a lot of screen printing, get the largest one you can get.

Ecotec products never disappoint.

As a screen printer who has an at-home shop, I love using eco-friendly cleaning products. I have used the other named brands, which are more expensive and a bit more toxic and not good for the environment or a person's skin or breathing. I wanted to try this product for the first time, and I'm very impressed with how well it works. After reading the instructions, you need to pour the pint container into an empty gallon container and then add 4 more parts of water to that gallon. Since it is concentrated, it is worth the price. I was able to clean 6 (24x36) screens with just about half a pint of the solution in less than 30 mins. It has no heavy scent, so you don't need to wear a mask, but I do suggest a well-ventilated room. With the ease of mixing and using the spray bottle, I was able to spray, scrub lightly, and use a mid-grade power washer with light pressure to remove all emulsion from the screen. I did not have any issues with air drying the screens, or, once dried, recoating them with excellent smoothness.

The scent wasnt bad.

I'm not sure what the deal is with some of the "canned" rating scales amazon fired at me: Warmth? Okay... not really relevant. But here's the scoop: I would have given this five starts but I can't. It is a great product, much more env. friendly than alternatives on the marked. When I tested it on two 200 mesh screens. One coated in multiple coats of Ecotex PRW and one with a single coat of Speedball's photo emulsion (and a few splotches of screen filler). Result two will shock you! The Ecotex melted off like it was nothing! The Speedball stuff I still can't get to break down. The Screen filler broke away fairly easily, but after multiple treatments I think I am just going to cut out the screen (handmade wooden frame) and replace it with one I will coat in Ecotex. This stuff says it will work on any type of photo emulsion... but maybe that is not entirely the case. Either way, I am really happy with the Ecotex PRW emulsion and wont be using the Speedball product anymore, but I can't give this emulsion remover 5/5 since it is not exactly as advertized.

works great

One quick misting on both sides and a slight pad rub and you are on to your next project. I'm learning so I have become to call this my favorite product. It's very comforting to be able to completely erase your screw ups! You get new life, for your screens anyhow.

Excellent product. Works amazingly well

Good
