As summer warms up so does the pressroom – all too often pressmen experience an increase in growth and keeping the press/equipment clean can become more difficult. Fountain solutions contain biocides to control growth, but at times they are just not enough to keep the press at peak performance. Controlling biological growth and keeping the press mix clean can be accomplished by using UV light sources, ultrasonic methods, oxidizers such as bleach or peroxides, temperature, and biocides. RBP Chemical Technology recently added two products to our line to combat growth in the pressroom – an improved Growth Inhibitor and a 7% Hydrogen Peroxide solution. Both products are very effective at keeping your system clean, the main difference is how they accomplish this function. The Hydrogen Peroxide solution is a strong oxidizer that will kill algae and bacteria by disrupting the cell membrane quickly and then decomposes to water and oxygen. Our Growth Inhibitor is a concentrated mix of biocides that are toxic to micro-organisms; they are much longer lasting and will not decompose as quickly as an oxidizer. Which is better? - It depends… Hydrogen Peroxide is added to the recirculation system when the press is not running. After an hour or two of circulating, the system is drained and rinsed with water. Hydrogen Peroxide can be added to the press mix on a continuous basis, but will breakdown very quickly and is limited in its effectiveness. Hydrogen Peroxide can also be used to keep water tanks clean and free of growth. Growth Inhibitor is added to the press mix while running, avoiding the need to shut the press down to flush the system. Low level concentrations can be added on a regular basis to control growth or can be added “over the side” as a shock type treatment. Which one is right for you? Are you looking for a long lasting, easy to handle, broadly compatible fountain additive? Growth Inhibitor – is the product of choice, it will save you time and labor. If you need a very effective, inexpensive, quick kill agent or have a very contaminated system – then Hydrogen Peroxide is your product of choice.

Milwaukee, WI. Calling it “a whole new way to look at fountain solution,” RBP Chemical Technology introduces its new Concept 21® fountain solution delivery system. RBP president Mark E. Kannenberg says the Concept 21 system is among the most important new developments in fountain solution technology in the last thirty years. He explains that the Concept 21 system features a unique combination of highly- concentrated chemistry components and a specially-designed delivery system which provides printers with unprecedented latitude on the press. The new system allows printers complete versatility in meeting their chemistry needs for different presses, inks, papers and dampening systems, conditions which typically require differing solutions with specific formulas or concentrations, he said. “It’s the first system which features separate chemistry components coupled with a unique (patent applied for) delivery system that allows printers to precisely meter and custom blend differing concentrations and balances of de-sensitizing and wetting agents into the precise formulations they need,” Kannenberg said. “You’ve always been able to add more concentrate to the working solution,” he continued, “but with regular concentrates, you added more of everything. You couldn’t change the balance of de-sensitizing and wetting agents. Now you can change the balance on-press instead of moving in a new drum or tote. For the first time you will be able to create your own complete line of custom chemistry to meet your own exact on-press needs without inventorying and switching individual solutions,” Kannenberg said. “You can replicate virtually any of our RBP fountain solutions using the Concept 21 system, and you can replicate virtually any other formula from any other supplier as well. It’s not ‘one solution’ fits all; it’s one system fits all.” Kannenberg says what makes the Concept 21 system so versatile is the combination of super-concentrated chemistry components with the precision-metering capabilities of a mixing system originally developed for the exactingly precise needs of the food processing industry. Food companies need precision and consistency batch after batch. Once the formulation is entered into the delivery system, it is “locked in” so there are no inadvertent changes in the properties of the working fountain solution. Once set, the formulation is adjusted only to meet the needs of different presses or different jobs. Months of real-job, real-life testing in everyday use in Beta sites at commercial printers has shown that the Concept 21 system allows printers to better control piling, speed make-readies, get up to color faster, run consistently sharper dots and reduce paper waste, Kannenberg reported. Tests conducted by RBP indicate that working solutions from the Concept 21 system typically contain at least 30% fewer VOCs than those made using regular concentrates, making them more environmentally-friendly.
