Universal Chemical can be used to remove ink from paper. The SSD completely remove the ink particles from the paper without causing damage to the underlying paper. This method is used in large recycling facilities where the paper needs to be de-inked and reused. It is considered to be more environmentally-friendly than using organic solvents to dissolve the ink out of the paper.

Universal Chemicals For the removal of inks, there isn’t one chemical that is effective at cleaning all different ink types. Some chemicals are great at removing a certain type of ink but are limited by how you can use them (eg. a chemical might be great at removing UV ink but rubbish to use in ultrasonics) to help you find the right chemical for your desired purpose please consult the table below. You can also call us to discuss your options.Step-by-step instructions

Pour out all the contents of the vial with sodium acetate CH3COONa*3H2O (1.4 g) into the vial with dry potassium permanganate KMnO4 (0.2 g). Add all 3М sodium bisulfate NaHSO4 solution (5 mL) into the vial with the mixture of potassium permanganate and sodium acetate. Now, take a new nozzle from the set and insert it into the vial with the obtained mixture, as shown. Close the vial with a black cap and shake it for 1 min. Write or draw something on paper with the pen provided — not all the inks can be equally well erased with this method. Drop by drop deposit the solution obtained in step 6 onto your drawing made with the pen. Wait 5 min. Evenly distribute 20–30 drops of 0.5M sodium pyrosulfite Na2S2O5 solution over the drawing.

Potassium permanganate KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent. It means that permanganate reacts with various substances and takes their electrons away. Dyes are specific substances, which are responsible for the ink color. Usually, dyes are complex organic compounds. Thanks to their specific structure, dyes provide the ink with bright and deep color, even when added in very small amounts. Potassium permanganate oxidizes dyes while changing their structure. That is why dyes, and ink at the same time, decolorize.
