Application and Use

A. Dosing Procedure

OIL AND GREASE REMOVER HD 999 may be applied in its concentrated state at room temperature or in solutions with gas oil of 6-12% with a maximum temperature of 60°C.

The quantity to be applied varies according to the degree of deposition or contamination to the subject in question. Therefore, the user is the one to consider the necessary quantity, this depends on the degree of cleaning desired, the down time period and the degree of accumulation.

B. Cleaning Procedure

Once the quantity has been determined, apply using any of the following methods: brushing and soaking/immersion.

Brushing is applicable to situations with light accumulation, large and small surface areas and highly contaminated parts or engine components.

Soaking/Immersion is used in situations where we deal with dismantled parts, articles and engine components. Here, brushing may be applied in coordination with immersion to remove heavy accumulation.

After the application, no matter which method is used, leave the solution to soak for as long as necessary and rinse with fresh water (in some cases, a high pressure water supply is recommended).
