METHOD OF ACTION
- TRAMOS Industrial penetrates the dirt, destroying the surface
tension, easily dissolving organic substances and disintegrating many chemical compounds.
- The use of carbon chains in this
system makes this cleaning agent completely biodegradable. The chemical reactions in
TRAMOS
Industrial completely disintegrate these linear carbon chains.
- Both cationic and non-ionic reducing
agents are used, allowing
TRAMOS Industrial to work very efficiently at low temperatures.
The high pH-value (ca.12.9) is partly caused by the cationic ingredients. This pH allows
TRAMOS
Industrial to clean solid washable surfaces without marring the substrate.
- The non-ionic ingredients increase the
product's penetration into the dirt. It also decreases its static attraction to the
substrate by encasing the dirt particles, preventing them from attaching to the surface.
- TRAMOS Industrial decomposes oil-based products. It separates oily
substances into their water soluble and organic components, making easy removal from the
substrate possible.
TRAMOS Industrial 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
Industrial
- Whatever system is used for cleaning
with TRAMOS Industrial, 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 Industrial may be safely used in cleaning fountains,
immersion or ultrasonic baths, parts washers, high-pressure cleaners, and other industrial
cleaning machines
- TRAMOS Industrial 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 Industrial 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.
- TRAMOS Industrial can be used in a "final cleaning"
process to gain the corrosion inhibitive property after using another TRAMOS product.
