applications as well as cloth and brush Auto-Wash Systems*. In addition to its versatility, ALPHA™ 8
contains no Hazardous Air Pollutants and meets or exceeds a number of health and safety requirements.

Application Information
Safety First – Review Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and secure proper Personal Safety and
Protective Gear.
Hand Wash/Manual Application:
Cleaning Blankets
Apply ALPHA™ 8 to your favorite shop cloth and wipe blanket clean. (The amount of ALPHA™ 8 and
cleaning effort needed varies with how dirty your blankets are.) A quick follow-up with a water-dampened
cloth is recommended. Blankets are now clean and ready to run. Again, ALPHA™ 8 does not require
diluting and doing so is not advisable.
Cleaning Rollers
Apply ALPHA™ 8 just like you would a conventional roller wash. Once the rollers are clean and free of
ink, flush any remaining contaminants with fresh water. Rollers are now ready to run.
Automatic Wash Systems:
Cleaning Blankets and Rollers
Simply follow the same procedures as when using traditional auto-wash products. For first time
installations, we recommend consulting with an Explorer Pressroom Solutions representative prior to use.
