Manual Stencil Cleaning
“Best practices.”
–Abraham Cantu
Q: Can we still use IPA?
A: You can, but it’s less effective, flammable, and leaves residues. Modern cleaners work better and safer.
Q: Are modern cleaners safe for stencils?
A: Yes. Compatibility studies say it’s safe for stainless steel, mesh, and frame materials.
Q: Is fast drying important?
A: Modern engineered cleaners are designed to evaporate quickly – but not too quickly so that there is enough time to clean the stencil properly and remove the residues.
Q: Are modern-engineered cleaning agents environmentally friendly?
A: Most modern chemistries are designed to meet strict environmental health and safety requirements as opposed to IPA. They are typically non-flammable, low VOC and low odor.
