The Importance of ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEAN by High-Pressure Cleaning
The job of high-pressure cleaning can be done easier & quicker by simply using ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEAN incorrect dosages. Using a high-pressure cleaner alone, without any CLEANER, will not achieve optimal cleaning results High-pressure cleaning primarily refers to cleaning of Hard surfaces, such as Decks, Tanks, Engine-rooms, etc. and in the majority of cases the cleaning is done according to the so-called two-step method:
Step 1: Spraying the ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEAN HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT over the area to be cleaned.
Step 2: Washing down the area using a high-pressure water jet.
After the RxTuff has been sprayed on the surface and before the wash down begins, the chemicals penetrate & thoroughly moistens dirt & other grime. During wash down, the ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT thoroughly dissolves the particles of dirt, even oil and fat, in the water spray and thus achieves optimal cleaning results.In addition to being more effective, the use of RXTuff substantially reduces the time required for the Cleaning operation, as well as preventing dirt from reforming on the surface. The use of ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT incorrect dosages is half the job done.
3 Pieces of Good Advice:
Apply ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEAN HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT on the dry surface where possible! A dry surface will absorb far better than a wet surface. When applying ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT on vertical surfaces: Start application from the bottom and work upwards! If beginning from the top and going downwards, the ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT may produce "channels" down the surface, thereby running too fast off the surface. During high-pressure cleaning: It is important that the rinsing water does not run over non-cleaned surfaces! The rinsing water can draw soap from the surface if running over non-cleaned surfaces. High pressure together with optimum concentration of ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT will give the best effect .

Applications:-ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT Suitable for cleaning engine components like fuel and Lube oil filters, Injection nozzles, pump components, inlet and exhaust valves & primarily refers to cleaning of hard surfaces, such as Decks, Tanks, Engine-rooms, etc. can be used for all types of cleaning and degreasing and may be applied by brush, handspray, high and low pressure washing machines etc.
Directions for Use and Dose Rates:
General Cleaning:- ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT can be used for all types of cleaning & degreasing & may be applied by Brush, Hand spray, high and low pressure washing machines etc. Time necessary for cleaning depends on the nature and thickness of the deposits. 20-30 min. will suffice for most applications. Hardened, carbonised or aged deposits may require up to 4 hours. If the cleaning solution is not heavily contaminated, it may be re-used at a later stage. If allowed to cool, the de-gassing procedure must be repeated. Depending on degree of contamination ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT should be mixed with warm water at a rate of 50-200 ml per 10 litres. i.e. 1 cup of ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT to a bucket of water. ALKAATUFF solution can be applied simply by mops, brushes or rags, or by dipping the soiled articles into the ALKAATUFF solution. After cleaning, rinse off with cold or warm water. Due to high foaming properties, ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT is not recommended for washing machines.
Ideal for cleaning after coal and pet coke. Tank Cleaning:-Cargo tank cleaning to remove residues of Mineral, Animal, Vegetable or Fish oil, Waxes & Soot from inert gas systems.
Method of Application and Dose Rates:-
Cleaning of Cargo Tanks to Remove Soot from Inert Gas Systems:-
Note:- Whenever possible, the cleaning solution should be heated to 60-80°C.If this method is not possible, other conventional methods such as separate rate direct injection, recirulation or hand spraying provide acceptable options.For boiler fire side cleaning, a 10-20 % hot solution, (temp. above 40°C), should be sprayed on to the surfaces to be cleaned. Allow to penetrate for 20 minutes and flush off. For deposits which are very hard to remove, increase the concentration to 50% and repeat if necessary.

20-50 % with fresh water. Also acts as an acid-neutralizing agent for Boiler & Colling systems during cleaning & maintenance.
Heavy Soil deposition Use Undiluted from to 20-50% diluted with water.
Medium soil deposition 10-20% diluted with water.
Light Soil ( general degreasing ) 5-10% diluted with water.
can be used for different types of cleaning, and it can be applied by brush, hand spray, High & Low-pressure washing machines, by Direct Injections method but is mostly used by Recirculation method.
Removal of soot from Inert Gas Systems (IGS)
1. Apply ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT with a H.P. cleaning machine and use 1:4 with water. If used by hand spray, apply neat on the surface @ 1 ltr per 12m2.
2. Leave for about 30 – 45 minutes. The surface remains wet.
3. Wash down with hot water at around 800 C. Repeat procedure 1 to 3, if required.
Cargo tank and Cargo hold cleaning
ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT LIQUID can be used for tank cleaning after animal, vegetable and fish oil, petroleum waxes, and for cargo hold cleaning after soot, coal, pet coke and other bulk materials using the following methods -
• Direct injection method with tank washing machines: Dosage rate 10-15 lts. per 1000 litres wash water (1-5%).
• Recirculation method: Use dosage rate of 20-50 litres per 1000 litres wash water.
• Spot Cleaning: Hand spray neat or prepare a 10-20 % solution. Leave for approx. 30 minutes before rinsing with water. Keep surface wet.
Pre-Wash
Before cleaning tanks with ALKAATUFF HOLD CLEANING ALKALINE DETERGENT is recommended to pre-wash cargo tanks with hot water 50-60 0C.
For Drying oils and semi-drying oils a prewash of the tanks with cold water should be applied.
The efficient operating temperature varies and is depending upon the type of cargo residues which are to be cleaned. In cases like Palm oil residues, the optimal solution temperature is between 55-65 0C at the tank cleaning machine nozzle. Higher temperature tends to bake on the residues rather than removing them.
Hydrogenated oils contain stearic acid with a melting point of approx. 70 0C. to clean such cargo residues successfully, a temperature between 72-77 0C at the tank cleaning machine nozzle must be used.
