Heated wash water around 40–60°C may improve cleaning performance where the equipment and surface permit. (Vizag Chemicals)

Hydrocarbon-Freeing Applications

RXSOL Enviro 2000 Soft can also be incorporated into cleaning procedures following the use of stronger hydrocarbon/solvent-based cleaners, where a final water-based cleaning or degreasing step is required.
