DESCRIPTION
ULTRITE DEGREASER is a heavy-duty
concrete degreaser and stripper which will biodegrade. It naturally
and safely replaces mineral spirits and chlorinated solvent type
heavy-duty concrete degreaser products.
USES
ULTRITE DEGREASER penetrates concrete surfaces on contact
to soften, lift, and remove a wide range of oils, polymers, fats
and greases. Use ULTRITE DEGREASER to remove dirt, tire marks,
oil spills, grease and other contaminants. It will also remove
most curing compounds and cure / seals from concrete floors. Periodic
stripping of concrete floors is in keeping with good concrete
maintenance practices. It is ideal for use in warehouses, industrial
plants, food processing plants, schools, automotive plants, parking
garages, plazas and service stations - anywhere cleaning and stripping
of concrete surfaces is required.

Clear To Yellow in Color 10.9 7.95 lbs. 130°F (54°C) Stable Excellent Excellent 100% after proper dilution |
| * NOTE: When applied and rinsed per W. R. MEADOWS instructions, the material raised from the surface will contain residual amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are generally very low in concentration and will not have a negative environmental impact on affected soils. Material(s) removed by the ULTRITE DEGREASER will need to comply with local, state and federal disposal requirements. | |
PRECAUTIONS
Use only on masonry or concrete
surfaces. Do not use on painted surfaces. Results may vary on
colored concrete - a small test patch application is recommended
to ensure that the final appearance is acceptable. DO NOT ALLOW
DEGREASER TO DRY OUT. (See Step 2 under Application). Use material
"as is" in the container... do not dilute. Do not apply
if the temperature of the concrete is less than 35°F (2°C)
or above 130°F (57°C).
APPLICATION
Application of ULTRITE DEGREASER may depend on the type of curing
compound, oil or grease on the surface and in the pores of the
concrete.
Note: For severe oil and/or grease stains it may be necessary
to follow ACI Guide 515.1R (Section 3.4.2.) or the Portland Cement
Association (PCA) publication IS214T. These publications outline
specific instructions for stain removal, which can be followed
by an ULTRITE DEGREASER application. (Copies of these articles
may be obtained through your local W. R. MEADOWS representative).
A typical application is as follows:
Step 1...Apply ULTRITE DEGREASER full strength from the
container to remove heavy dirt build-up, tire marks, oil spills,
grease, hydraulic fluid and any other difficult to remove contaminants
from the concrete surface. For normal cleaning applications and
for removing curing compounds and cure & seals, apply full
strength to the entire floor. Do not allow ULTRITE DEGREASER in
“as applied” form to spill or run off of the concrete.
Step 2...Apply ULTRITE DEGREASER and allow it to soften
the coating or stain, but DO NOT ALLOW THE SURFACE TO DRY.
(Soak times vary, depending on the ambient conditions and the
degree of staining on the concrete.) In severe cases, it may be
necessary to apply additional ULTRITE DEGREASER to remove stains
and/or to prevent the treated area from drying out.
Step 3...With
a stiff bristle brush or mechanical scrubber, thoroughly scrub
the treated area.
Step 4...Rinse the area with large amounts of clean water.
The cleaning action of ULTRITE DEGREASER may be evident by the
very light whitish appearance of the initial water rinse. Keep
rinsing with water until there is no visible trace of the product
on the concrete. Disposal of rinse should follow all local, state
and federal regulations.
Step 5...Test patch the dry concrete prior to painting
or applying a subsequent surface treatment. If necessary, clean
the concrete floor with ULTRITE DEGREASER again until the desired
results are achieved.
CLEAN UP
Clean all tools and equipment after use with water.
Note: Although
