PRODUCT INFORMATION DATA SHEETS MARINE CLEAN Marine Clean is an all purpose cleaner and degreaser. What is Marine Clean? Marine Clean is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic chemicals. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, water-based, and has no noxious odours nor chlorinated solvents. It doesn't contain any petroleum products and has no flash point. Marine Clean represents a revolutionary breakthrough in cleaners, de-greasers and dispersants. Should Marine Clean always be diluted with water? Yes. Marine Clean will actually be effective if it is diluted at least 1:1 with water. Does temperature affect the cleaning action? Yes. A hot solution will work better and faster, so dilute with hot water and store Marine Clean indoors. What dilution is most effective? That depends on the job to be done. 1:1 is best for engine cleaning, removing baked on oil from cylinder heads, removing gum and varnish from fuel tanks. To clean exterior surfaces of cars or boats, use dilutions beginning at 1 part Marine Clean to 5 or 10 parts water. How fast will Marine Clean do the job? That also depends on the job. Baked-on oil may take up to 2 hours of soaking before it can be easily brushed off. Gum and varnish in a fuel tank may take 24 hours or more. Hot solution works better. Does metal that's been cleaned with Marine Clean have to be treated with metal-ready rust remover/pre-primer before gas tank sealer or POR-15 rust preventive paint can be used? Yes. Marine Clean is a powerful caustic solution that leaves an alkaline finish on metal. An acid finish takes paint better because it etches the metal and gives to a surface profile with "tooth" for the topcoat paint to bite into. Our Metal-Ready Rust Remover/Pre-primer is the perfect preparation to use on any surface that's been cleaned with Marine Clean first. Can Marine Clean be used to clean carpet? NO. It will certainly do the job, but the remnant solution that stays in the carpet will continue to clean anything it comes into contact with - your shoes for example! That could cause continuous soiling of your carpet - But you CAN use Marine Clean to remove stubborn stains from clothing that ordinary cleaning products can't remove. What are other uses for Marine Clean? Cleaning and de-greasing of machinery parts, turbine blades, diesel engines, compressors, transformers, bulkheads, deck plates, bilge areas, removal of oily deposits found in closed systems such as; air conditioning, boiler tubes, compressor lines, heat exchangers and coils, removal of light distillates, mineral oils, heavy grease, degreasing all metal surfaces, plastics, wood, fibreglass, painted surfaces. What protection should I take? You should always wear gloves .If you are using Marine Clean in a strong or hot mix, gloves and eye protection should always. |
