Rhinotech ARP 2600 RhinoClean Frame Adhesive Remover Gel - 1 Quart
Professional gel-based frame adhesive remover formulated to soften and lift cured adhesive from aluminum and wood screen printing frames, providing extended surface contact for efficient frame cleaning and re-stretching preparation.
Characteristics
Rhinotech ARP 2600 RhinoClean Frame Adhesive Remover Gel – 1 Quart is a professional-strength adhesive remover designed specifically for cleaning cured frame adhesive from screen printing frames after the mesh has been removed. The formula softens cured adhesive so it can be scraped away, helping prepare reusable frames for cleaning and installation of new mesh.
Unlike conventional liquid adhesive removers, ARP 2600 features a gel consistency that remains in contact with the adhesive longer. This extended surface contact helps the remover penetrate and soften cured adhesive while eliminating the need to immerse the frame in a soak or dip tank for this step.
The gel also suspends the softened adhesive, helping prevent loosened adhesive from reattaching to the frame surface during removal. This makes the cleaning process easier and helps prepare the frame for subsequent cleaning and re-stretching.
ARP 2600 can be used on both wood and aluminum screen printing frames and is especially useful in screen rooms that regularly reclaim and re-stretch reusable frames. The gel is applied directly to adhesive-covered areas with a bristle brush for targeted application and controlled chemical use.
