Chemical and auxiliares for Repro and Mounting Room

Liquid Mounting Adhesive

The RIEF Montage Glue has especially good properties in connection with even spraiyng and sticking strenght. Film and foil remain in good conditions. The glue may also be applied on glass. The mounting adhesive can be applied by brushing or using a glueing machine. Extremely transparent, does not tend to yellow on old mountings and is suitable to be used on polyester supports, film or glass.

RIEF-Glue guarantees perfect, non slip adhesion of the film and can be easily an effortlessy removed, even after long intervals, using RIEF ANTISTATIC FILMCLEANER.

Spray Mounting Adhesive

free from CFC.

When applying our RIEF-MOUNTING-GLUE-SPRAY make sure to keep a spraying distance of approx. 30 cms. from the film or foil. The valve of the spray gives the possibility of a very accurate and homogeneous distribution, and only a very thin coating on the film or foil is needed. After a short time the glue coated film can be assembled. After assembling, the film is stopped and could be removed without problems also after long time. The RIEF-MOUNTING-GLUE-SPRAY on the film can be easily and effortlessly removed, even after long time, using the RIEF-ANTISTATIC-FILMCLEANER.

Water soluble Adhesive spray

It is a water-soluble spray glue which can be repositioned used in graphic mounting.

This water-glue-spray, as far as adhesiveness is concerned, is similar to solvent glues but, being water soluble, has many advantages. It can be easily eliminated from films and solid surfaces, where it is being used, with water. Moreover, as opposed to solvent glues, it does not accumulate in the lungs: when inhaled by the technician it is dissolved by pulmonary mucus and naturally eliminat

Available in packaging: 300 ml-can in a box with 12 items

Spray Glass Cleaner

free from CFC.

The RIEF-GLASS-CLEANER-SPRAY with its high cleaning effiency is especially adressed to Graphic Industry. Due to a well balanced composition of cleaning and wetting agents a foam takes place during application treating the glass surface carefully. The GLASS-CLEANER  is mainly applied for the cleaning of printing frame glasses, illuminated desks, contact printers and camera objects lenses. But the cleaner may also be used for other glass objects like mirrors, windows etc. The application is quite simple. The sprayed lather is the right dosage needed especially for cleaning vertical glasses.

Antistatic Filmcleaner

for films and foils.

This extremely efficient antistatic product is highly suitable for cleaning mounting supports.

RIEF-FILMCLEANER-ANTISTATIC has no problems in removing film glue, foil residues, traces of grease, dust and ink from plastic supports, films, photographic paper scanners and layouts. A special component prevents static electricity of materials being treated. Pour the RIEF-FILMCLEANER directly on the support or one the cloth free from impurities and then clean the surface. The RIEF-Filmcleaner is almost odourless, non irritant to skin and eyes, leaves no greasy or other types of residues and can also be used with film-cleaning machines if required.

Economical Filmwash

for films and foils.

It is not antistatic and is applied for the removal of dust, finger prints and glue residues on mounting foils and repro films. The application of the Economical-Filmwash is quite simple. The Film-Wash may be poured directly on the surface of the foil or on a dustfree cloth and wiped on. Dirty parts, specks and spots will be easily wiped off. The Film-Wash is very economical and also the smallest quantity will guarantee an optimal cleaning result.

Antistatic spray

This product eliminates electrostatic charge from treated surfaces. Once the surface has become antistatic, it does not attract dust, hairs, etc. anymore and stays perfectly clean for a long time.

Available in packaging: 400 ml-can in a box with 12 items.

Antinewton Spray

Antinewton Spray is a product which prevents the formation of Newton rings in scanner reproduction when used on the film surface. It is common knowledge that the formation of Newton rings is due to light refraction from microscopie air bubbles, which form between the film surface and the scanner drum surface because of the perfect planarity and the scanner drum surface because of the perfect planarity and the brightness degree of the two surfaces. Antinewton deposits micro-particles of resin on the film surface which will be in contact with the scanner drum. These micro-particles make the surface quite rough. Thanks of this roughness there is perfect air emission between the two surfaces. Therefore there will not be any air bubbles and, so the phenomen of Newton rings will be avoided.

Available in packaging: 200 ml.can a box with 12 items

Antistatic Cleaner for scanners

This cleaner has the same general characteristics of “Antistatic Cleaner”: excellent cleaning power and antistatic properties, but its formulation has been specifically studied for cleaning scanner drums.

It works on all antinewton products and does not make the drum opaque. It can therefore be regularly used without any sort of risk for the equiment. It cannot be used on offset plates since it corrodes the diazo or photopolymer emulsion.

Available in packaging: 1 lt. bottle in box with 6 items

Red Mask Opaque Inactinic  Pens for Films

for films retouching with an antievaporation aluminium body.

High density covering red pens for the masking of photographic films. The deep red ink completely absorbs the wavelengths included in the spectrum sensitivity of the printing shapes, therefore covering completely. It is fast drying and the layer remaining on the film is resistant and elastic. The Red-Mask-Opaque pens are marketed with the three usual tips: ultra-fine, fine and medium. The pens with fine and medium tips are with cartridge barrel, that is, the ink inside the pen comes out  by applying pressure to the tip, which in turn opens a special spring valve. Ultra-fine pens have the usual blotter. All of them are in aluminium to prevent the ink from evaporating.

Available in packaging: 10 pen-box

Non-Actinic Felt-Tip Pens

They are blue and non-actinic, that is they cause no effect, specifically no kind of absorption, on the light. This is the reason why there are suitable for writing on films and/or mounting, for those signs and marks which do not have to be transferred onto the printing plates. Non-actinic felt-tip pens marketed with thin and medium tips and have an aluminium body.

Chemicals and auxiliares for Press Room

Cleaner 90

normal cleaner for positive or negative offset-plates.

It removes appearance of tones and regenerates resp. activated the image parts. It is often necessary for the lithograph operator to intervene during the printing or when the machine is at standstill in order to remove from scumming, blind spots, inking of non-image areas, and oxidation on presensitizes plates. Cleaner 90 solves these problems in the best way and does not damage the plates. This treatment favours rapid inking. Cleaner 90 is odourless, not harmful to the health.

Polish 90

cleaner for the rapid removal of oxidation.

Removes appearance of tones and regenerates resp. activates the image parts on positive or negative presensitized plates. The formula of Polish 90 consists of a particular combination of hydrophile and lypophile components which, when passed over the plate with a viscouse sponge, removes the ink, eliminates the oxidation which causes inking of non-image area and, at the same time, activates the printing areas and prepares them for easy and rapid inking. Also Polish 90 does not damage the plates.
