NONWOVEN FABRIC FOR CLEANING PRINTING MACHINES

摘要

The invention is a cleaning material (20) for cleaning printing machines. The cleaning material (20) is comprised of a spunbonded nonwoven fabric that has been impregnated with a low volatily organic cleaning composition. Typically, the spunbonded nonwoven fabric is comprised of polyethylene terephthalate homopolymer filaments that are point bonded together to produce a fabric having high strength and abrasion resistance. Esters containing 2-ethyl hexanoate are particularly useful solvents that can be used as the cleaning composition. The cleaning material (20) can be wound onto a roll (10) that can be adaptable to fit commercially available printing machine cleaning devices.
