Franmar STRIP•e•doo Emulsion Remover Quart provides screen printers with an effective way to remove emulsions, films, and stencils when reclaiming screens for reuse. The formula penetrates and dissolves all types of emulsion and capillary film while remaining safe for screen printing mesh.
One of the advantages of STRIP•e•doo is its built-in degreasing action. By combining emulsion removal and degreasing capabilities in one product, it helps streamline common screen-room tasks during the reclaiming process. The formula is also non-toxic and 100% biodegradable.
A color-changing indicator makes it easy to recognize when the remover is no longer active. STRIP•e•doo begins white and changes to brown as its effectiveness is depleted, providing a helpful visual indicator during use.
For reclaiming, wet the screen before applying a small amount of STRIP•e•doo to the front and working it into the mesh with a dedicated scrub pad. Repeat on the back, allow at least 30 seconds of contact time, scrub both sides again, and rinse thoroughly with pressurized water. Never allow the product to dry on the screen. Additional degreasing may be needed when working with high mesh counts or halftones.
The quart size is well suited for shops with moderate reclaiming needs or those looking for a convenient size to keep in the screen room. Use it to remove emulsions and prepare screens to return to production.

Q: Emulsion Remover is taking off some of my emulsion, but not all of it. Is the Emulsion Remover bad?
A: If the emulsion is not coming off in the thicker areas (generally the sides where the scoop coater leaves thick edges), try using more Emulsion Remover or more scrubbing. If the emulsion is not coming off in certain areas of the screen, a few different things may be occurring. First, the Emulsion Remover might be past its shelf life of 6 to 9 months. Emulsion Remover will begin to turn a light to rusty brown color when it has reached its shelf life. Second, there may be an under-curing or over-curing problem with the emulsion. Test to make sure the emulsion is being properly exposed. Third, some "hot" solvents used in cleaning (paint thinners and mineral spirits, for example) can begin to lock in emulsion. Try switching to one of Franmar's friendly ink cleaners.
