About
Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard is a low vapour emission, viscous, hydrochloric acid based cleaner designed to remove concrete residue and buildup whilst providing anti-corrosive protection to metal surfaces.
Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard can be used for cleaning external concrete agitator barrel surfaces, cement mixers, front end loaders, concrete pumping equipment, shotcrete equipment and pneumatic tankers (fly ash).
Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard is an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective alternative to outdated concrete cleaning chemicals such as Hydrochloric Acid or other low pH alternatives chemicals.
The low acid concentration and viscous gel-like consistency adheres to surfaces and significantly reduces run-off and splashing during concrete cleaning operations. This therefore reduces potential acid splash risks to the user and mobility into the environment, resulting in cost effective, time efficient cleaning without the detrimental environmental effects associated with traditional fluid hydrochloric acid solutions.
FEATURES
- Effectively removes concrete, cement dust stains and build-up;
- Contains low concentrations of acids;
- Contains a built-in rust inhibitor for metal surface protection and equipment longevity;
- Viscous formulation clings to surfaces with little run off and wastage;
- Safer than traditional hydrochloric acid solutions;
- More cost effective than hydrochloric acid alone;
- Reduced hydrochloric acid vapour emission (55% less);
- Reduced water requirements for cleaning
- No requirements for chemical disposal or land fill.
Sustainability Outcomes
Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard is diluted with water during washing, neutralised, and able to be recycled into closed water treatment and recycled water systems at concrete plants, providing increased water conservation and resultant ease of neutralisation of wash waste waters which may allow projects to achieve Wat-2 in ISV2.1. The gel texture allows the product to adhere to surfaces for an extended period, significantly minimising the volume of water typically used to clean concrete affected surfaces. The reduced acid concentrations achieve an active working surface where the chemical reaction between the concrete and Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard is sustained, rather than running off the surface without effect.
Using Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard can lead to a reduced water footprint and may assist in achieving Wat-1 in ISV1.2 and ISV2.1. The corrosion inhibitors contained in Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard protects metal surfaces and reduces corrosion. This results in longevity and sustainability of equipment, rather than the disposal of corroded and resultant non-recyclable metal equipment in landfill and wasted resource outputs. Other components of the product should not pose any environmental impacts and are readily diluted and recycled into concrete slurries via recycled water treatment ponds of concrete plants. Waste waters containing diluted Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard are 100% recycled into finished concrete product. This resource recovery may assist in achieving Rso-4 in ISV 2.1.
