Ecotex® Screen Printing Emulsion Remover, Diazo Photo Stencil Remover, GL

This arrived very securely packaged. Just a couple of spray on the front and then on the back of a pre-wet screen and the emulsion is gone. I did one current screen and one that was about 8 months or older, came off so incredibly easy. This is a must have. If you can afford and will be doing a lot of screen printing, get the largest one you can get.

Excellent product. Works amazingly well

I was a bit hesitant because of some of the negative reviews, but price is great and some of their other products work well for me, so I gave it a shot. 1st try on a screen that had been used, washed and sun dried several times. Did not work - but then neither did the speedball remover I’m trying to replace. Emailed their customer service. They were quick to respond and helpful. Then tried it on screens as I would normally use the remover: burn a screen, not liking the results and wanting a second go, or some one off projects...the remover worked quite well and was very easy Work to reclaim the screens. Saving a fair amount of coin Compared to other removers and will definitely reorder!

One quick misting on both sides and a slight pad rub and you are on to your next project. I'm learning so I have become to call this my favorite product. It's very comforting to be able to completely erase your screw ups! You get new life, for your screens anyhow.

I'm not sure what the deal is with some of the "canned" rating scales amazon fired at me: Warmth? Okay... not really relevant. But here's the scoop: I would have given this five starts but I can't. It is a great product, much more env. friendly than alternatives on the marked. When I tested it on two 200 mesh screens. One coated in multiple coats of Ecotex PRW and one with a single coat of Speedball's photo emulsion (and a few splotches of screen filler). Result two will shock you! The Ecotex melted off like it was nothing! The Speedball stuff I still can't get to break down. The Screen filler broke away fairly easily, but after multiple treatments I think I am just going to cut out the screen (handmade wooden frame) and replace it with one I will coat in Ecotex. This stuff says it will work on any type of photo emulsion... but maybe that is not entirely the case. Either way, I am really happy with the Ecotex PRW emulsion and wont be using the Speedball product anymore, but I can't give this emulsion remover 5/5 since it is not exactly as advertized.

As allways this brand works easy and can be cut down a lot I used it in a 35 gallon dip tank it takes about 5 minutes to brake down old hard screens at a ratio of 35 to 1 so when it’s sprayed straight on it works fast shipped with spill proof cap also

I am a new printer & just learning how to screen print. I had an old design but didn’t want to destroy the stretcher so I did some research & found this emulsion. I watched a YouTube video to find out exactly how to remove the emulsion. The best technique I found was to spray both sides of the screen, gently rub it around with a sponge & wait a few minutes. I test sprayed an area with a garden hose & it started coming off. This was the second time in my life I have used emulsion remover & it worked great. If someone as novice as I am can use this product correctly, then anyone can. Great stuff!

I have purchased more expensive emulsion remover for reclaiming my screens and this stuff works just as good if not better. I do get a slightly harsher smell but it’s not bad. This quickly softens the emulsion so it can be removed. However avoid screen lock by not allowing the emulsion remover to dry on the screen. I like to wet my screen first then spray with emulsion remover. 30 seconds to a minute later I scrub the screen and all emulsion comes off.

Good

Great product
