Cement Remover

CEMENT REMOVER is an effective acid based liquid mixture specifically designed to deal with hard cases of cement cargo deposits or dry cement stains. Its proven advantage is the provision of immediate penetration and complete dissolution of cement, the result being a thorough cleaning.

Characteristics, Advantages & Applications

Ideal for the removal of cement deposits and dry stains.
Acts quickly and thoroughly.
It is applicable to all metal surfaces and parts except those being galvanized and those made of Tin, Zinc and Aluminum.
It is a water-soluble and non-flammable liquid mixture.
Safe to use on rubber and plastic compounds.
Can be combined with a specific range of other products.
Replaces the use of other products, which fail to treat awkward situations like the removal of salt deposits and other hard deposits such as rust.
Cost effective, easy to apply and use.

During 1996, chemical tankers were only permitted to use tank cleaning agents, which had been approved and evaluated by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). CEMENT REMOVER was evaluated through IMO’s Working Group on the Evaluation of Safety and Pollution Hazards of Chemicals (ESPH Working Group) and found to meet the requirements of paragraph 1.8.2 of the P&A Standards.

Application and Use

A. Dosing Procedure

Undiluted: In cases where we deal with heavy deposit build-up, CEMENT REMOVER must be applied undiluted.

Diluted: In cases of light deposition, on large surface areas, a solution between 10-40% may be used.

B. Cleaning Procedure

Undiluted/Diluted: In parts such as corner cavities, tank skeleton inlets, etc, CEMENT REMOVER must be carefully poured and/or applied by conventional means such as a hard brush, mop, sponge or any other manual devices feasible to move with rapid and irregular action. Let it soak for 15 minutes. Afterwards, wash thoroughly by applying high-pressure water source. In case of deposit persistence, repeat the cleaning procedure.
