Directions for use

Pre-wash

  • Before cleaning with Navaclean 801 throughout prewashing with sea water supplemented by manual scrubbing/rubbing with brushes/squeegees is recommended. Pay special attention to the upper reaches of the holds are washed thoroughly to dislodge any residues.
  • If cleaning from coal or Pet coke, it is not recommended to wash down prior to application of chemicals, as this will potentially (very likely) cause the remaining stains to adhere (embed) further into the cargo hold surface and thereby reduce the efficiency of Navaclean 801.

General cleaning recommendation:

  • Apply Navaclean 801 mixed 10 to 25% (ratio 1:9 to 1:3) in water, using spray equipment. If combined with Navaclean 904 – Foam Agent, the chemicals will adhere longer to the surface and thereby prolong the working period and thereby optimizing the cleaning effect. Leave for 30 – 45 minutes.
  • Wash down with a Hold Cleaning Gun. For the best result, direct the jet at the lower parts of the hold first and wash upwards. If required, manual scrubbing with brushes or squeegees is to be performed simultaneously.
  • Repeat the procedure if necessary
