METHOD OF
ACTION
- TRAMOS Economic penetrates the dirt, breaking surface tension, easily
dissolving organic substances and disintegrating many chemical compounds.
- The use of carbon chains in this
system makes this cleaning agent biodegradable. The chemical reactions that take place
when using TRAMOS Economic completely disintegrate these linear carbon chains.
- Both cationic and non-ionic reducing
agents are used, allowing
TRAMOS Economic to work very efficiently at low temperatures. The
concentrate's high pH (12.9) is partly caused by the cationic ingredients. This pH allows
TRAMOS Economic to
clean solid washable surfaces without marring the substrate.
- The non-ionic ingredient increases the
product's penetration into the dirt. It also decreases the static attraction of the dirt
to the substrate by encasing the dirt particles, preventing them from attaching to the
surface.
- Oil-based products are decomposed by
TRAMOS Economic. It
separates the oily substance into its water soluble and organic components, making easy
removal from the substrate possible.
- TRAMOS Economic contains no phosphates. The cationic and non-ionic
ingredients work well in hard water since they are not sensitive to Calcium or Magnesium
ions.

NOTES FOR USING TRAMOS ECONOMIC
- Whatever system is used for cleaning
with TRAMOS
Economic, a mechanical action (brush, sponge, aeration of solution, ultrasonic, etc.) is
required to break the surface tension of the dirt. Just soaking for an extended time will not
be sufficient for cleaning.
- TRAMOS Economic may be safely used in cleaning fountains, immersion or
ultrasonic baths, parts washers, high-pressure cleaners, and other industrial cleaning
machines
- TRAMOS Economic is not flammable and can be safely heated. For immersion
or ultrasonic baths we recommend 50° C/122° F to minimize the evaporation rate.
- TRAMOS Economic is highly concentrated. If the product is not sufficiently
diluted, a white haze or stripes can be left after drying especially on very smooth or
shiny surfaces. This haze will disappear when the surface is treated again with the
correct dilution.
- Rinsing all parts, pipes and surfaces is
important so no residue remains. Rinsing with warm water is not necessary but will enhance
the drying process.
