Ink Thinners and Solvents
Thinners can be mixed with the ink to speed up drying time, or they can be applied to a stamp pad in order to rejuvenate it. They can also be used to clean equipment and rubber stamps.
IN-141-THINNER; The 141 thinner is formulated with the same solvent system used in most of the liquid industrial inks, only the color is eliminated. This thinner can be mixed with the ink to speed up drying time, or it can be applied to a stamp pad to rejuvenate it.
IN-142-THINNER; The 142 thinner/Cleaner is formulated similar to the 141, however not has abrasive as the 141 Reactivator and easier to work with.
IN-432-THINNER; The 432 thinner is formulated to work with the 432 industrial ink.

THINNING: If thinning is required, add small amounts of AD-2001 thinner. Additions should be made after the induction period. Thinner additions extend the pot life. AD-2001 Thinner for nominal adjustments in viscosity. Incrementally add 3-6% by weight.
SPRAYING: Following the induction period, thin with AD-2002 or a blend of 80% PM glycol ether and 20% methyl isobutyl ketone at 25-40% by volume, depending on air pressure and orifice of spray unit. Thinner additions will extend the pot life considerably. AD-2002 Thinner for spray applications. Add 25-40% by volume.
RETARDING: Small amounts of AD-2003 or carbitol acetate are recommended. Additions should only be made after the induction period has been observed. AD-2003 Retarder to extend open time. Incrementally add 3-6% by weight.
REMOVAL: Enthone SC1710 screen cleaner, AD-2003 or any lacquer wash will effectively clean stamps, screens, and equipment before the ink cures.
