*Oil-rejecting cleaners split oils to the top for easy skimming. Oil-dispersing cleaners break up the soil into fine particles, which are then suspended and flushed off the surface. Emulsifying cleaners break up and suspend loosened dirt to keep it from settling back on the cleaned surface.

**Higher temperatures generally provide better cleaning and/or a faster cycle time.

  • Spray washers, cabinet washers: 3-5%
  • Ultrasonic: 3-6%

Consult with your local QualiChem Distributor or QualiChem Sales Engineer to discuss available water quality, application conditions, performance criteria, and recommended dilutions.

Concentration Control

Use a QualiChem Alkalinity Test Kit (QAT001) or equivalent with 1.0N sulfuric acid. Determine the number of drops necessary to cause the color change. Multiply the number of drops by the titration conversion factor below to determine the percent concentration: Drops x Factor = % Concentration

Titration Conversion Factor: 0.67
