Carboline Surface Cleaner No 3

Carboline Surface Cleaner No 3 is a cleaning agent used for degreasing and cleaning contaminated surfaces prior to painting with Carboline coatings.

Best Uses

Carboline Surface Cleaner 3 is waterborne and biodegradable and is suitable for use on both painted and unpainted surfaces. Can be used to clean painted or unpainted steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel and other non-ferrous metals, and concrete surfaces.

Carboline Surface Cleaner No3 is ideal for cleaning of cured acrylics, alkyds, epoxies, phenolics, polyurethanes and various other coating technologies. After the cleaned surface has been rinsed and dried per the application instructions, the surface is suitable for the application of most generic types of coatings.

Application

Remove all extremely heavy deposits of oil, grease, dirt, etc. from the surface by scraping with a putty or broad knife.

Use at full strength for removal of heavy contamination and soiling. For medium and light soiling, dilute up to 10 parts of fresh water to 1 part Surface Cleaner 3, depending upon the nature of the contaminant to be removed and the type of surface coating present.

Apply using brush or spray. Cover the surface to be cleaned completely with Carboline Surface Cleaner 3 solution. Heavy deposits may require a soak-in time of 10-15 minutes. A light scrubbing or brushing action will decrease cleaning time and may be required to remove the heaviest deposits.

After use, rinse the area thoroughly with clean potable pressurized water. Where surfaces are to be painted following cleaning, leave the Surface Cleaner 3 on long enough so that no beads of water (water break) remain after rinse-off.
