Böttcher understands the importance of using proper chemicals on your presses and printing rollers for fountain solutions and cleaning. Often, when our technical advisors are called in to a customer to diagnose what they suspect is a roller problem, the problem is really the result of using the wrong chemicals, or using chemicals in the wrong way.

The easiest way to ensure you are using the right chemicals with your Böttcher rollers and blankets is to use our Böttcher-brand chemicals. Böttcher offers many roller maintenance products and printing aides, including the best-selling Feboclean 2000 roller cleaning paste, which is the most effective way to remove build-up of insolubles and calcium deposits from your rollers. Böttcher is one of the world's leading manufacturers of washes for blanket and roller cleaning, with a range of dedicated washes tailored to the specific needs of each type of automatic washing system. In the area of solvent filtration, no one has more experience than we do. Our wide variety of roller and blanket solvents, many of which carry certifications from the major press manufacturers, are available to wash-up even the most difficult ink environments. Whether for a sheetfed, commercial web or newspaper press, and whether for a conventional, heatset or an energy cure ink, Böttcher has a fountain solution additive to meet the needs of today's demanding print jobs. Utilizing environmentally responsible ingredients and manufacturing processes, BöttcherFount solutions are formulated to meet the corrosion requirements of the OEMs. From BöttcherFount water re-hardeners to state of the art high speed newspaper fountain solutions, from one-step and two-step sheetfed fountain solutions to one-step heatset fountain solutions, whether it is a mild acid for coldest, a specialized acide solution for sheetfed, or a solution for the latest CTP plates, look to Böttcher for innovative formulas to fulfill your fountain additive needs.

We are so concerned about chemistry and its compatibility with your press that we will be glad to test for our customers any new or unknown chemicals free-of-charge. Contact your Böttcher technical service representative or sales representative for further information.
