For PTFE transport belts

Rollax cleaning powder

Rollax
cleaning powder

250-g-bottles

Removes adhesive residue, prevents from further sticking and preserves the operation surface of fusing presses, irons and transport belts of fusing machines made of PTFE coated fabrics.

Rollax contains silicone which in few cases may delaminate the connection of the PTFE with the inside fabric. This only happens if the PTFE surface is defect or when the powder is used at a cutted edge. On the other hand silicone is excellent for protecting the PTFE surface.

Care and cleaning

Silicone Spray, PTFE Spray, Antistatic Spray

Silicone Spray
PTFE Spray
Antistatic Spray

each 400 ml content

Silicone spray prevents surfaces from sticking and preserves them.

Used on:
- transport belts for fusing machines made of PTFE coated fabrics,
- surfaces of fusing presses
- metal plates of irons
__________________________
PTFE spray makes surfaces smooth
- fabrics will slide better, e.g. on cutting tables.
- Little scrapes on transport belts made of PTFE coated fabric can be repaired.
(Bigger scrapes can be repaired with self-adhesive PTFE coated glass fabric.)
__________________________
Antistatic-spray avoids static electricity at artificial (plastic) surfaces.

Design of spray cans may change without prior notice.

Decap-Fer iron cleaning stick

Decap-Fer

iron cleaning sticks


Decap-Fer removes adhesive residue and preserves the surface of irons.

How to use Decap-Fer:
1. Heat iron to 145° - 150° C (= 295° - 305° F).
2. Carefully apply the Decap-Fer to the metal plate of the iron and let it melt some seconds.
3. Then rub the iron on a rough, dry tissue. To free the holes give steam.
4. At very strong dirt repeat step 2 and 3 until the iron is clean and smooth.

Quantity: Boxes with 10 sticks

Temperature control paper stripes

Temperature control paper stripes

Temperature control stripes are chemical reacting paper thermometers. Reaching the printed temperature, the indicator changes its colour from light grey to black. Because the change is irreversible the stripes can be used as a proof for the reached temperature.
The paper is very thin to allow a quick heating. Thus the response time of the indicator is less than 1 sec. which is especially important at short pressing times. The accuracy of the measurement is at +/- 1% of the printed values.
The use of temperature control paper stripes is very easy. For example during fusing you put the stripes between fabric and interlining with the indicator side of the stripes to the fabric. Now fuse as you are used to do. After opening the press you slightly tear the fabric and the interlining apart in order to pull the stripe out. You now can read the maximum temperature from the coloured indicators.
It is important to protect the stripes against moisture and dirt to get exact results. For this reason we recommend to leave the stripes in the plastic bags in which they are delivered.
If they are kept cool and dry they can be stored for nearly unlimited time.
