APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

For Stains From Oil, Grease, Stove top or Skid Marks: Brush on, spray, foam applications or scrubber. Mix 1 part SOLUTIONS SPECIAL X3™ with up to 15 parts water. Follow with water rinse. Replaces caustics, chlorinated aromatic and other chemical solvent cleaners.

For Garages, Mobile Equipment, Repair Maintenance: Directly wipe on surface, use in steam cleaner, cold dip tank. Mix 1 part SOLUTIONS SPECIAL X3™ with up to 20 parts water. Steam cleaning should be done outdoors. Follow with rinse water. Replaces aromatic and aliphatic (kerosene) based cleaners.

For Parts Washing, Cold Dip or Recirculation Tanks: Mix 1 part SOLUTIONS SPECIAL X3™ with up to 7 parts water. Rinse or wipe off. Replaces flammable, difficult to dispose of solvents.

For Wastewater Treatment Plants, Wet Wells, and Lift Stations: For application with long wand, use concentrated or mix 1 part SOLUTIONS SPECIAL X3™ with up to 4 parts water. Permit 5-10 minutes dwell time. Rinse with high pressure water. Replaces aromatic solvents which contain benzenes and napthalenes.

For Application as a Wax Stripper: Mix 1 part SOLUTIONS SPECIAL X3™ with 15 parts water. For heavy build-up, use a 50/50 solution. Do not leave 50/50 mix on the floor for longer than 10 minutes without rinsing. Apply with a wet mop. Machine with strip pad and triple rinse.

For Application as a Demulsifier: Add full-strength SOLUTIONS SPECIAL X3™ into stirring blend of oil and water, a small amount at a time, until separation occurs. ACD 872 will stay in the water phase, while oily waste rises to the surface, making it easy to separate it from ACD 872. Following demulsification with ACD 872, the water-phase product can be reused for additional degreasing and cleaning, but fresh solution should always be used for demulsification . For bench testing, apply one drop at a time into a beaker containing 500 ml of oil-water mixture, until separation occurs. ACD 872 is easily biodegraded by ALKEN CLEAR-FLO® 7008, if bioremediation is ever desired.
