Application and Use

A. Dosing Procedure

MARICLEAN DG-25 may be applied concentrated or diluted with water. The quantity to be used is proportional to the degree of contamination, the available downtime, the surface area to be covered and the desired degree of cleaning.

For heavy duty cleaning and degreasing, MARICLEAN DG-25 can be used undiluted whereas for lighter contamination can be used diluted with water depending on the degree and nature of the contamination.

Circulation method: A solution of 5%-10% must be prepared by diluting MARICLEAN DG-25 with water.

Injection method: Prepare a solution of 3%-6% by diluting MARICLEAN DG-25 with water.

B. Cleaning Procedure

Circulation method: After the solution is prepared, apply by circulating for approximately 6-8 hours. Thereon, wash thoroughly with water. You may have to repeat the procedure, in cases of heavy contamination.

Injection method: When the prescribed solution is prepared, inject directly to the contaminated area. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with water.

Soaking/Immersion method: Once the solution is prepared, immerse the part, component or unit to be cleaned and leave it to soak for about 30 minutes, making sure that all the surfaces remain covered in solution. Afterwards rinse thoroughly with water.
