Product Category | Plate Washout Chemistry

Our range of chemicals for the flexographic industry include both traditional products and the latest environmentally friendly processing and cleaning solutions.

In recent years, we have led the way in developing and introducing chemistry that is safe for printroom operatives and the environment. The same chemistry also matches and, in many cases, improves the properties of traditional solvents, to enhance various aspects of the printing process.

nylosolv A (Washout Solvent)


The introduction of nylosolv® in 1988 was a milestone on the road to more environment-friendly platemaking with improved working conditions: nylosolv® - the first alternative wash-out solvent free from perchloroethylene (PER), and thus CFC-free.

nylosolv A is a fast and efficient washout solvent for the safe processing of your photopolymer printing plates

nylosolv A can save you both time and money. If the appropriate heating equipment is available in the washer, the higher wash-out temperatures allow an up to 25% reduction of your wash-out times of Flint Group nyloprint plates in comparison with conventional solvents.

Other advantages include:

    • Ideal for high quality processing of conventional and digital photopolymer printing plates.
    • High flashpoint allows washout and storage at higher :
      • temperatures,
      • faster washout time,
      • less plate swelling,
      • less drying time,
      • improved safety in transit and in storage.
    • Optimal plate quality (thanks to less swelling).
    • Easy distillation under vacuum, with minimal loss of components and convenient component adjustment.
    • No washer and dryer adjustment problems.
    • Low odour for comfortable work.
    • Gentle and environmentally friendly.
    • Can be regenerated (high efficiency).
