Technical Data & Application Instructions

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

UNITED CLEANING CONCENTRATE

is a highly effective cleaning agent that, when combined with water, penetrates the existing coating or substrate and allows con-taminants to be flushed from the surface.

Formulated with penetrants from wetting agents and surfactants found in certain organic compounds, UCC performs at a very high level, with cleaning and pore-pen-etrating capabilities far exceeding most products available today. UCC is non-toxic and leaves no pollutants or contaminating by-products to damage the environment.

BASIC USES:

UNITED CLEANING CONCENTRATE

was especially developed for the proper cleaning of existing elastomeric coating on roofs, metal surfaces, concrete and masonry substrates, as well as uncoated roof, deck and wall surfaces. UCC has excellent clean-ing capabilities with all types of coatings including acrylic, polyurethane silicone and Hypalon®. UNITED CLEANING CON- CENTRATE is biodegradable and is envi-ronmentally friendly when used in accor-dance with National, State and Local regula-tions. Properly applied, UCC penetrates the old coating, lifting oxidized material, dirt, grease, and other contaminants into suspen-sion for easy flushing from the substrate, leaving behind an acceptable surface for (re)coating.

PACKAGING:

UNITED CLEANING CONCENTRATE

is packaged in 5-gallon (19 liter) pails and 55-gallon (209 liter) drums.

TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

UNITED CLEANING CONCENTRATE

is biodegradable and is environmentally friendly when used in accordance with National, State and Local regulations. The UCC Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) supplies pertinent information and is consid-ered an integral part of this document. UCC complies with all known VOC regulations and requirements.

ADVANTAGES OF UNITED

CLEANING CONCENTRATE

1. Biodegradable:

UNITED CLEANING CONCEN-

TRATE is biodegradable, allowing for proper cleaning of substrates where washing with hazardous cleaning prod-ucts would not be permitted prior to (re)coating.

2. Open Dry Time:

UNITED CLEANING CONCEN-

TRATE will remove dirt, pollutants and other contamination build-up even if the product dries prior to rinsing.

3. Environmentally Safe:

UNITED CLEANING CONCEN-

TRATE will not harm ground vegeta-tion, water collection ponds, septic tanks or treatment plants even in its concen-trated form, nor will accidental ingestion by animal life cause adverse side effects.

4. Agency Approvals:

UNITED CLEANING CONCEN-

TRATE meets all the requirements of U.S.D.A. and FDA standards, and is also OSHA compliant.

® Hypalon is a Registered Tradmark of the Dupont Corp.

Attachment 1

1. For optimum results, UNITED CLEAN- ING CONCENTRATE should be dilut-ed at a 1 to 10 ratio with water, Accordingly, 5-gallons (19 liters) should be mixed with 50-gallons (189 liters) of water in a 55-gallon (209 liter) drum.

2. Apply the diluted cleaning solution to the substrate under low pressure at the rate of 150 to 200 sq. ft. per gallon (3.7 to 4.9 m²/l). Allow the solution to stand for a minimum of 15 minutes. Low areas and depressions in the substrate having excessive dirt build-up may require addi-tional solution and/or scrubbing with a stiff-bristled broom. Extremely stubborn areas may require treatment with a more concentrated dilution.

3. For best results, rinse the surface with water under high pressure, utilizing either conventional spray or pressure washing equipment. Attach a wand or extension to the high pressure hose and use a standard coating spray tip to achieve maximum cleaning of the sub-strate. Repeat rinsing as required to remove all cleaning solution.

4. Allow the substrate to completely dry prior to the application of any coating materials.

UNITED COATINGS requires thorough cleaning of existing substrates prior to the application of new elastomeric coatings.

Accordingly, UNITED COATINGS strong-ly endorses the use of approved cleaning procedures for warranties issued by the man-ufacturer upon completion and acceptance of the project. UNITED CLEANING CON- CENTRATE is recommended in lieu of all other types of cleaning solutions, detergents, TSP or simple high pressure water washing.
