Sgrommatore

Strongly alkaline descaling detergent in flake form

APPLICATIONS

Sgrommatore DC is a strong and specific descaling detergent in flake form. It possesses a specific action designed to dissolve and remove organic residues from containers, tanks, bottles, systems and equipment of all types, especially those exhibiting films or having a large amount of insoluble salts of potassium. The combined action of sodium hydroxide for descaling and a non-ionic surfactant allows it to be effective at lower concentrations and to maintain biodegradability in excess of 90%.

Do not use this product on zinc, aluminum, nitro varnish and phenolic resins.

DOSES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

It is used at a concentration of 1-10% in a preferably warm aqueous solution. The actual concentration will depend on the type of residues to be removed. The use levels vary depending on the quantity of tartrate present and the amount of surface to be treated.

Usually, a 5-8% solution of Sgrommatore DC is used realising that it becomes neutralised when the tartrate dissolves:

1 kg will dissolve 5-7 kg of tartrate

0.4 kg will dissolve a 1 mm tartrate layer on a 50 m2 surface

Normally, the use concentration of the product varies between 5-8% and the solution becomes neutralised in proportion to the amount of tartrate solubilised. Irrigate the surfaces to be treated or utilise a pump-over; rinse at the end of the treatment. The use of brushes or other mechanical means facilitates the removal of dirt. At the end of the treatment it is advisable to abundantly and accurately rinse the surfaces which were treated.
