CARDISOLV #CRA
Booster Solvent

Add Cardisolv #CRA to detergent solutions to remove substances that are difficult or impossible to remove with detergent solutions alone. It helps remove many detergent-resistant substances such as resins, asphalts, paints, plastics intermediates, and other organic substances.

Add to solutions of alkaline detergents such as Metalterj #222 or Metalterj #286; it is harmless to metals.

Quantity Required

From 1% to 20% of the volume of the cleaning solution.

The most cost-effective quantity of Cardisolv #CRA depends on the quantity and the properties of the substance to be removed, on other components of the cleaning solution, on porosity of the surface, temperature, soak time, and the degree of agitation applied by the cleaning method.

Initial trial at 10% volume is recommended; increase or decrease to find the most cost-effective concentration.
