Directions for use:
General maintenance
For cleaning in engine rooms etc., Quick Break Cleaner is used undiluted. Dampen the surface to be cleaned and let the product act for 5 - 60 minutes. Brush the surfaces occasionally and finally rinse them thoroughly with water at 50 - 60°C. For heavier contamination we recommend HD Separating Cleaner.
Tanks
To be used as a spot cleaner to decrease the amount of slops. Spray the surfaces to be cleaned until they are thoroughly dampened with undiluted Quick Break Cleaner. Let the product act for 5 60 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water at 50 - 60°C.
Immersion baths
Quick Break Cleaner is applied undiluted at ambient temperature or up to a maximum of 55°C in a heated tank. Soak components for several hours, remove from the bath and rinse thoroughly with a waterjet.
Practical hint
Where an oil water separator is installed, collect the treated bilge water in the dirty water collecting tank. After a reasonable separating time suck the bilge water from the bottom of the tank and discharge overboard through the oil water separator. This is the best way to keep within the IMO rule limits (max. 15 ppm oil in the discharge overboard).
Note: The use of emulsifying products (old style degreasers) will affect the separating properties of Quick Break Cleaner.
