CCI Re-Stor – Powerful Ghost & Image Stain Remover for Screen Printing Mesh
CCI
CCI Re-Stor is a professional-grade ghost and image stain remover engineered for screen printers who need to restore mesh clarity without compromising screen life. This fast-acting, semi-viscous formula penetrates deep into the mesh to lift stubborn ghost images, ink stains, and residual discoloration caused by plastisol, water-based, UV, and solvent inks.
Unlike traditional paste haze removers, Re-Stor spreads easily across larger areas, making it ideal for screens with multiple or heavy ghost stains. Its advanced chemistry includes a proprietary mesh protector, helping preserve mesh strength while aggressively removing ink residue. The result is cleaner screens, better stencil adhesion, and longer screen life.
Formulated with low odor and low VOC content, CCI Re-Stor is more comfortable to use in busy reclaim rooms while still delivering the power required for tough stain removal. Its high load capacity means less product is needed per screen, reducing overall chemical usage and reclaim time.
Price range: $70.23 through $256.50
