Cleaning Pressure Pot and Hoses with Waterbornes
Question
Forum Responses
From contributor R: Becker Acroma makes a product called Akvaclean. It is mixed 50/50 with water and run through the system. We use it to clean waterborne UV out of automated finishing lines. From contributor C: There also is a product called Corocheck. It’s used to clean out water based coatings from fluid lines. From contributor M: Azko Nobel also has a product that works extremely well. From contributor V: Akzo Nobel product is called Hypercleaner. It’s expensive but you don't have to use a lot. After you drain hoses of waterborne suck up just enough to fill the hoses and let sit for a moment then pulse it out with air off in to a container to use again later. Then do the same with isopropenoyl. Then blow air through hoses to dry and it’s ready for solvent. I've never had a problem, but it is a lot easier and faster to have dedicated pots/pumps. From contributor U: Mix about 25-30% EB (butyl cellusolve) with your water. It does wonders getting some of the colorants that are not water soluble. It is a good idea to run something oily like mineral spirits for a final wash especially if you are going to let the machine sit idle any length of time.
