Roller cleaning
Residues of ink, varnish, adhesives and silicone on rollers reduce print and coating quality. Eco-Nova offers roller cleaners for rubber, PU, silicone, steel and anilox rollers – many of which are not classified as hazardous according to their safety data sheets. We test compatibility and effectiveness in advance using a free sample.
That’s what it’s all about
Problem and Solution
The challenge
Rollers in printing, coating and laminating machines accumulate residues of ink, varnish, adhesive and silicone. If these are not completely removed, the print image or coating will be compromised. Commonly used solvents such as acetone or isopropanol are highly flammable, and some solvents attack roller covers made of rubber, PU or silicone, thereby shortening their service life.
Our solution
We tailor the cleaner to the specific type of contamination and roller material, and carry out tests directly on your equipment where necessary – examples can be found in our success stories on anilox roller cleaning, silicone residues on PU rollers and silicone binder rollers. According to their safety data sheets, several Eco-Nova roller cleaners are not classified as hazardous, such as Nova Safe S or Microsolv NX.
Typical areas of application
- Printing rollers (offset, flexo, gravure)
- Anilox rollers
- PU and rubber rollers
- Silicone binder rollers
- Coating and laminating rollers

Roller cleaning in printing and coating processes
Rollers are central to printing, varnishing and coating. Residues from inks, varnishes and adhesives quickly lead to quality problems.
Typical challenges
Conventional cleaners often contain highly flammable solvents, which require safety precautions. Some also damage roller covers and shorten their service life.
Solution with Eco-Nova cleaners
Our specialised cleaners thoroughly remove paints, varnishes and pigments and are designed to suit a range of roller materials. Several of these, such as Nova Safe S and Microsolv NX, are not classified as hazardous according to their safety data sheets.
