SFA International CleanSpec® 321

Degreasers to Improve the Environment

SFA provides a range of degreasers and cleanup chemicals which meet all environmental standards as set by EU and USA authorities. CleanSpec® 321 is the prime solvent in the range. It is an effective cleaner which has no hazards under current or pending Health and Safety or Environmental regulations.

What is CleanSpec® 321?

A unique, safe cleaner and degreaser whose active ingredients are all derived from orange oils.

CleanSpec 321® will:

• act as a highly effective degreaser.
• not damage metals, cured resins or painted surfaces.
• greatly improve the quality of effluent discharge when used with drainage to an interceptor.
• evaporate to dryness, but slowly.
• provide reduced waste volume .
• prevent formation of oily water emulsions.
• provide a pleasant orange odour.

What does CleanSpec 321® Do?

In most applications it will replace chlorinated, paraffin based and aqueous systems in cleaning up hydrocarbon residues.

Where can you use CleanSpec® 321?

To remove oil residues from:

• equipment, floors etc
• tanks, machine parts etc
• hot melt adhesives, waxes, mastic residues,
• oil based inks & uncured oil based paint.

What surfaces is CleanSpec® 321 effective on?

CleanSpec€ 321 is effective on a wide range of surfaces:

• Metal
• Concrete
• Glass
• Water
• Most plastics
• Most coated surfaces

How do I apply CleanSpec® 321?

You can use a wide range of application methods:

• Dip tanks
• Spray
• Ultrasonics
• Parts Washers
• Mop & bucket
• Impregnated wipes

CleanSpec® 321 is cold applied – no heating is necessary.

What coverage will I get using CleanSpec® 321?

Depending on the thickness of deposits, on flat surfaces one litre of CleanSpec 321 will cover approximately 20m2/ litre.

Where capture is possible or circulation systems are practical, CleanSpec 321 can be reused until saturation point has been reached.

How do I dispose of CleanSpec® 321?

As waste oil, suitable for burning.

CleanSpec® 321 provides clear separation between grease (or oil) and water (if water is used in conjunction with CleanSpec 321®) It is then a simple matter to pump the water off and then dispose of oil in your normal manner.

Other points to consider with regard to waste and disposal:

• Costs
• Waste normally has some commercial value.
• CleanSpec 321 is less toxic than the contaminant.
• Easy disposal through existing oil recovery contracts.
• Enhanced interceptor performance.
• Collectable with sorbents.

CleanSpec® 321 Environmental Issues

• CleanSpec® 321 is the only solvent not requiring risk or safety warnings.
• CleanSpec® 321’s active ingredients all derived from oranges.
• CleanSpec® 321 contains no surfactants and therefore will not emulsify with water.
• CleanSpec® 321 generates no harmful vapour emissions.
