Detartrol is a powerful descaling solution, designed to remove the build-up of paint, sludge, and scale from within spray booths. Added to your spray booth water at a concentration between 2% & 4%, the Detartrol solution should be allowed to circulate for a minimum of 24 hours up to a maximum of around 30 hours. We classify this circulation period as the time when your spray booth is in operation, so the cleaning process can take up to 3 or 4 days, depending on your shift pattern. However, it is safe to continue using the spray booth as normal during this period. We suggest the cessation of other chemical additions other than an anti-foam if required. At the end of the cleaning period, the water should be removed from the tank, surfaces rinsed, pipes and filters flushed, and nozzles removed and cleaned. Once complete, both the flushing and original cleaning water should be removed from the booth. Customers may decide to dispose of this water and sludge, then refill the spray booth with fresh water; however, it is possible to filter the sludge and return the water to the booth, reducing waste and disposal costs. However, this process does require using our Proco range of treatment chemicals to both separate the paint solids, ensure the proper filtration process and establish the correct conditions for continued use of the water. Internal surfaces of the booth will be in an improved condition with paint deposits having been removed, but you may also notice that the water pressure will have improved as the inside of the pipes and the pump will have been lined with paint, which will have been removed, thus allowing the water to circulate as originally intended. Detartrol is designed to be used with our Proco range of booth coagulants that will allow your booth to be kept clear of paint build-up by allowing you to remove paint on a regular basis to suit your requirements. The first time that many of our customers use Detartrol is when they wish to start using our range of spray booth treatments to maintain their booths, and want to start the treatments with a clean booth. They use Detartrol to clean the booth, dispose of the water, then start with regular dosages of Proco and Proflo+, which allows them to maintain a clean booth.
