General Description
DG-5500 is a water-based, biodegradable blend of nonionic detergents, solubilizers, chelators, penetrants and builders designed for general cleaning of all surfaces not affected by water. Depending upon the degree of its dilution with water, DG-5500 is an excellent cleaner and oil emulsifying degreaser. DG-5500 is ideal for degassing and decontaminating barges, ships, tank, vats and for marine engine room maintenance.
Application
DG-5500 may be applied with a rag, sponge, mop or sprayed with a pressure sprayer. Allow a few minutes for the solution to penetrate the soiled surface, then hose off with water. For best results, do not allow the cleaning solution to dry on the surface before hosing off.
DG-5500 is highly concentrated; for best results , dilute with water.
- For engines heavily coated with oil/grease: use 1 part DG-5500 to 2 parts water.
