Ferric Chloride stain Remover (535-478) supplied by Mega Electronics

Ferric Chloride Stain Remover

This unique powder may be utilised in a variety of methods for the removal of Ferric Chloride stains from clothing, PCB tanks, work benches and other affected areas.

FOR USE AS A SCRUBBING COMPOUND

This method is best employed for removal of small stains on clothes and larger stains on equipment and floors etc.

Apply sufficient powder to cover the affected area and scrub with a wet cloth or sponge. On badly affected areas apply the powder direct, add a small amount of water and leave a while before scrubbing.

FOR USE AS A CLEANING SOLUTION

The powder may also be employed to make a cleaning solution which is the best method for removal of larger stains on clothing or removable equipment parts.

Fill a suitable container with warm tap water, sufficient to allow immersion of items to be cleaned. Then add the Ferric stain remover at an approximate rate of 100 gr. per 500ml of water and stir until dissolved.

The solution is now ready for use. Immerse the stained items until the staining is removed. The time necessary to achieve this is dependant upon the severity of the stain. Check periodically.

Please note that the above concentration is a guideline and some staining may require a smaller or greater concentration. The powder may be used at concentrations between 100g/200ml of water and 100g/1000ml of water.

SAFETY AT WORK

Ferric stain remover is an organic acid and wet powder and solutions have a burning effect on cuts and wounds. Always wear suitable protective gloves and goggles when handling.

All items of clothing that have been treated must be thoroughly rinsed after processing and then machine washed before wearing.

All equipment, machine parts or any other treated items or areas must also be thoroughly rinsed after cleaning.
