Novachem Carbon Remover
NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER is a liquid compound with extremely high solvency and penetrating capabilities to remove carbonaceous residue formed by fuel and lube oil and other petroleum products exposed to high temperatures. It removes carbon, grease, fuel residues, soot, ash, tar, paint, resin, etc from metal surfaces.
NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER is delivered ready for use. It is equally efficient for in-place cleaning (CIRCULATION METHOD) and for soaking of individual parts (DIP TANK METHOD). It may be desirable to heat NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER if you encounter heavy carbon deposits or if rapid cleaning is necessary. Heating to 49°C (120°F) will quadruple the solvency power. However, it is recommended that the temperature not exceed 60°C (14°0F) Nor be used in an enclosed or unventilated area.
Application :
Dip Tank Method: Simply immerse OR hang the parts to be cleaned into a suitable container filled with NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER. It is desirable to stir or agitate the solvent when the deposits are exceptionally heavy. Stubborn deposits can be brushed away with a stiff bristle brush once they have been softened by NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER. To prevent sludging of the soak tank and to prolong the effective strength of NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER, all loose grease, dirt and oil should be removed with NOVA’s OGR, steam or water before soaking items in NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER.
Circulation method: Remove excess oil remaining in the fuel oil heater to be cleaned by blowing air or steam through the oil side. Connect the recirculation system which requires a circulation & Circulate NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER from 4 to 24 hours, depending on the type of deposits to be removed as well as temperature of the circulating solvent. When completed, drain the solvent to the reservoir, then flush the unit with flushing oil, steam or water. If steam is required, admit steam to the steam side of the heater. After extensive use, NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER is likely to get contaminated with sludge and deposits. At this time pour off the liquid, clean the deposits from the tank, then return the liquid adding fresh NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER to make up for the used up quantity.
Handling Instructions :
When using NOVACHEM CARBON REMOVER, ensure adequate ventilation and keep away from extreme heat or open flame. Avoid breathing vapors. Do not let eyes, skin, or clothing come in direct contact with the liquid. If swallowed seek medical attention. Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated place.
