Franmar's Screen Printing Line 24/10/2023

For more than 35 years, Franmar has developed screen printing products that work without acetone, mineral spirits or other harsh chemicals. Our late co-founder and CEO Frank Sliney used to attend screen printing trade shows and saw the risks inherent in the industry: toxic, volatile - even flammable - chemicals being used to clean screens. He knew there was a better way and went on to develop BEAN•e•doo Plastisol Ink Remover. Its safer, effective chemistry revolutionized the screen printing industry. At the heart of BEAN•e•doo is soybeans, a renewable resource grown by American farmers. Soy-based solvents are an ideal alternative to many dangerous chemicals because they can easily pe*****te inks and coatings without noxious odors or side effects. We’ve built on the success of BEAN•e•doo and developed a full line of safer, effective and affordable screen printing products. Save time and money in your shop with Franmar!
