Frequently Asked Questions
What is RXSOL-22-3030-050?
RXSOL-22-3030-050 is an alkaline ship hold cleaning chemical and detergent intended for professional marine cleaning applications.
What is it used for?
It is used for cleaning suitable ship cargo holds and hard surfaces contaminated with oil, grease, cargo residues, dirt and general marine contamination.
Can it be used after every cargo?
Not necessarily. The appropriate cleaner depends on the previous cargo and the nature of the residue. A cargo-specific chemical may be required for difficult contamination.
Can it remove oil and grease?
Its alkaline detergent formulation is intended to help loosen and remove oily and greasy contamination from suitable surfaces.
How much RXSOL-22-3030-050 should be used?
The required concentration depends on the contamination and cleaning method. Always use the current RXSOL TDS/product instructions for the approved dilution and contact time.
Is it suitable for manual cleaning?
It can be incorporated into suitable manual cleaning procedures, subject to the product instructions, surface compatibility and required PPE.
ALKAATUFF DETERGENT most suitable for cargo hold and tank cleaning.
ALKAATUFF DETERGENT High foam plays very important role during ship hold cleaning, Its high foam ability increasing ALKAATUFF cleaning power on the vertical surface, As liquid product can't sustain on the vertical surface while HIGH composite FOAM can sustain on the surface which is resulting from good cleaning effect.
Extra foaming is major features which is differentiating ALKAATUFF high foam to general ALKAATUFF.
ALKAATUFF High foam using procedure and cleaning method :
1st Step Cleaning of extra and excess loose particle:::
Before applying ALKAATUFF DETERGENT high foam on hold surface, Makes sure extra loose cargo particle should be removed manually or Air blown method. Then cleaning procedure can be followed either by high foam machine or Manual.
2nd step is for Mixing and dilution of ALKAATUFF DETERGENT:::
If cleaning step is with HP machine ( High Pressure ), Then mix concentrated ALKAATUFF high foam with fresh water, it can be diluted 1 Ltrs ALKAATUFF High foam with 4 to 5 Ltrs Fresh water.
If cleaning step followed by hand spray, Then apply ALKAATUFF DETERGENT high foam neat on the surface. Approx 1 ltr covers 10 to 12 square meter.
3rd Step final procedure:::
Leave for about 30 – 45 minutes. The surface remains wet. Wash down with hot water at around 80 - 90 degree. Rinsing procedure can be repeated 1 to 3 times if required for Cargo Tank and Cargo Hold Cleaning.
Why should we avoid SEA WATER during Ship Hold Cleaning?
The hardness of Seawater reducing Foaming Qualities of ALKAATUFF.
Seawater also reducing the foaming qualities of the any detergent.
As per chemistry law and detergency effect sea water reducing cleaning effect.
Seawater increasing corrosion risk to the surfaces and the equipment used and metal surface.
When mixing ALKAATUFF with seawater Higher concentration of ALKAATUFF required at least 20 - 25% (ratio 2:9 to 1-3).
