NATURAL HCF
HYDROCARBON TANK CLEANER
Natural HCF is a concentrate, highly efficient tank cleaning detergent with neutral pH and surfactants used in the cleaning of hydrocarbon on tank surfaces, in particular, and vegetable, animal as well as light mineral oils, during passage to delicate loads.
Area of Use:
Natural HCF is a concentrate, highly efficient tank cleaning detergent with neutral pH and surfactants used in the cleaning of hydrocarbon on tank surfaces, in particular, and vegetable, animal as well as light mineral oils, during passage to delicate loads. It is specially designed for hydrocarbon-free cleaning on any type of tanks, especially silicate and aluminum coated tank surfaces.
Use Qualities and Benefits:
- Doesn’t contain solvents. Non-inflammable.
- Doesn’t contain caustic ingredients. pH neutral and non-corrosive.
- Doesn’t leave hydrocarbon on tank surfaces
- Safely used in all types of tank surfaces
- It is the end product for tank preparation for delicate loads
- IMO certified.
Usage:
1- Circulation Method: Before washing with Natural HCF, pre-washing at 50°C ensures a faster and more excellent cleaning. Solution level depends on dirt thickness during circulation. Yet, Natural HCF is diluted by fresh water of 2-5 % inside the tank. Solution is circulated for 2-7 hours at 50-60°C. Surfaces are rinsed with fresh water following application.
2- Spraying Method: Natural HCF is sprayed to hot tank surfaces, in the concentrate form, without water dilution. Make sure to diffuse the product equally to all surfaces. The product is left on the surface for 30-45 minutes for reaction. Surfaces are rinsed with hot water at 30-60 C for 40-45 minutes following application.
3- Hydrocarbon Cleaning: The product is used in order to clean hydrocarbon that is observed by Wall Wash tests (methanol tests) on tank surfaces, performed after solvent-based tank cleaners that are applied during passage from petrol derivative to alcohol and glycol derivative delicate loads. Natural HCF is injected to the hot tank surface in concentrate from and left on the surface for 30-45 minutes for reaction. Tank surfaces are rinsed with non-chlorinated hot water. In case of fresh water use, surfaces should be dried by ventilation to get away with chloride residues.
The above tank washing recommendations are basic and may vary depending on the tank capacity of the vessel, qualities of the goods transported and the following goods as well time requirements. Please consult our technical experts for washing procedures and recommendations.
Safety Measures:
The product doesn’t irritate skin. It can freeze, dissolve or thicken at cold temperatures. However, that doesn’t affect product performance. In this case, it should be stirred for a while at ambient temperature. In case of eye contact, rinse with water. Don’t ingest the product.
