Degreasers & Mesh Prep
KIWO Degreaser 1:20 Concentrate
Kiwo Degreaser 1:20 Concentrate is an economical degreaser with strong foaming action. It is free from Chlorine and phosphates, and is biodegradable. One quart of DEAGREASER 1:20 concentrate makes 5 gallons of working degreaser solution.
Available size options: 1 Quart, 1 Gallon
Ulano #23 Ulanogel Roughening & Degreasing Gel
An abrasive degreaser gel that combines the actions of Microgrit No. 2 and Screen Degreaser Liquid No. 3. The abrading action of Ulanogel 23 promotes better wetting of the mesh and adhesion of the stencil, and thus, longer press life. Its degreasing action removes dirt, dust, and oils from the mesh, reducing the risk of stencil failure and pinholing.
Ulanogel 23 is ready-to-use and rinses off in hot or cold water. Its thixotropic character permits easy and effective preparation of larger screens held in a vertical position.
Available size options: 1 Quart, 1 Gallon
Ulano #25 All Mesh Prep
All Mesh Prep No. 25, a ready-to-use liquid mordant designed to enhance mesh water retention, ensuring uniform adhesion of all Direct Films. Particularly beneficial for thin CDF® Direct Films on fine mesh, it rinses easily with hot or cold water, maintaining a non-caustic formula that won’t harm frames, mesh, or adhesives on stretch and glue frames. Ideal for use with all CDF® Direct Films, but caution is advised as it should not be used on natural silk.
Available size options: 1 Quart, 1 Gallon

Stencil Hardeners
ULANO Hardener X
Hardener X is a post-exposure and processing, liquid screen stencil hardener which improves the stencil durability of textile direct emulsions, including 925WR, TZ, LX-630, LX-660 AND QTX ®. For industrial use only.You should not expect to reclaim your mesh after applying a hardener. Hardeners penetrate the stencil and form an additional chemical bond with the mesh that stencil removers cannot break. Ulano hardeners can be used with other textile emulsions, but will make stencil removal more difficult and may embrittle the stencil.
Available Sizes: 1 Gallon, 1 Quart
KIWO Hardener HP
Hardener HP is a chemical hardener used to increase the water resistance of water resistant emulsions like KIWO 225 WR, KIWOCOL 300 WR, POLY-PLUS HWR and POLYCOL ONE-COAT.
Unlike other stencil hardeners, HARDENER HP will not result in an un-reclaimable stencil, although it may require slight longer time to reclaim.
Available Sizes: 1 Gallon, 1 Quart
KIWO Hardener K
Hardener K is a red-colored chemical hardener that is applied to the stencil screen after developing the image to increase the water resistance of most photo emulsions. It works especially well with KIWOCOL POLY-PLUS HWR emulsion. HARDENER K chemically crosslinks with the emulsion for maximum resistance and will often result in an unreclaimable permanent stencil.
Depending on the chemical structure of the emulsion, an absolute water proof stencil may be achieved that is no longer reclaimable.
Available Sizes: 1 Gallon, 1 Quart
