Characteristics, Advantages & Applications
- Very effective general-purpose cleaner.
- Can be applied on all sensitive metal surfaces (Tin, Lead, Zinc and Aluminum) and their alloys as well as galvanized metals.
- Ideal for use in the cleaning of animal oil, vegetable oil, fish oil, fat and wax deposits.
- Acts as a bacteria controller.
- pH stabilized, thus acts as a neutralizing agent.
- 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). MARICLEAN-POL 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
The quantity of MARICLEAN-POL to be used depends on the degree of contamination to the affected area in question, along with the desired degree of cleaning required by the user. Thus, in cases of extreme soiling and heavy contamination MARICLEAN-POL solution of 10%-12% must be used, where as in less extreme situations it may be diluted to a concentration, appropriate for the deposited accumulation.
B. Cleaning Procedure
MARICLEAN-POL may be applied undiluted or dis-solved in water by injection and/or circulation, when required. In simple cleaning procedures it can be used like any other common liquid soap with conventional ways such as a brush, sponge and/or a mop.
