SEALTIGHT®
ULTRITE®
DEGREASER
Technical Description
SEALTIGHT ULTRITE Degreaser is a heavy-duty
concrete degreaser and stripper which will biodegrade. It naturally and safely
replaces mineral spirits and chlorinated solvent type heavy-duty concrete
degreaser products.
Uses
SEALTIGHT ULTRITE Degreaser penetrates concrete surfaces on contact to
soften, lift, and remove a wide range of oils, polymers, fats and greases. Use
ULTRITE Degreaser to remove dirt, tire marks, oil spills, grease and other
contaminants. It will also remove most curing compounds and sealants from
concrete floors. Periodic stripping of concrete floors is in keeping with good
concrete maintenance practices. It is ideal for use in warehouses, industrial
plants, food processing plants, schools, automotive plants, parking garages,
plazas and service stations...anywhere cleaning and stripping of concrete
surfaces is required.
Advantages and Benefits

| Ready and easy to use full-strength directly from the
container
| Biodegradable |
| |
Limitations

not use on painted surfaces. DO NOT ALLOW DEGREASER TO DRY OUT. See Step 2 under
Application.

* NOTE: When
applied and rinsed per W.R. MEADOWS instructions, the material raised
from the surface will contain residual amounts of petroleum
hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are generally very low in concentration
and will not have a negative environmental impact on affected soils.
Material(s) removed by the SEALTIGHT ULTRITE Degreaser will need to
comply with local, state and federal disposal requirements. |

Application
Note: Application of SEALTIGHT ULTRITE Degreaser may depend on the type of
curing compound, oil or grease on the surface and in the pores of the concrete.
A typical application should be as follows:
Step 1: Apply ULTRITE Degreaser full strength from the container to remove heavy
dirt build-up, tire marks, oil spills, grease, hydraulic fluid and any other
difficult to remove contaminants from the concrete surface. For normal cleaning
applications and for removing curing compounds and cure and seals, apply full
strength to the entire floor.
Do not allow ULTRITE Degreaser in “as applied” form to spill or run off of
the concrete.
Step 2: Apply ULTRITE Degreaser and allow it to soften the coating or stain, but
DO NOT ALLOW THE SURFACE TO DRY. (Soak times vary, depending on the ambient
conditions and the degree of staining on the concrete.) In severe cases, it may
be necessary to apply additional ULTRITE Degreaser to remove stains and/or to
prevent the treated area from drying out.
NOTE: For severe oil and/or grease stains it may be
necessary to follow ACI Guide 515.1R (Section 3.4.2.) or the Portland Cement
Association (PCA) publication IS214T. These publications outline specific
instructions for stain removal, which can be followed by a SEALTIGHT ULTRITE
Degreaser application. (Copies of these articles may be obtained through your
local W.R. MEADOWS representative.
Step 3: With a stiff bristle brush or mechanical scrubber, thoroughly scrub the
treated area.
Step 4: Rinse the area with large amounts of clean water. The cleaning action of
ULTRITE Degreaser may be evident by the very light whitish appearance of the
initial water rinse. Keep rinsing with water until there is no visible trace of
the product on the concrete. Disposal of rinse should follow all local, state
and Federal regulations.
Step 5: Test patch the dry concrete prior to painting or applying a subsequent
surface treatment. If necessary, clean the concrete floor with ULTRITE Degreaser
again until the desired results are achieved.
Cleanup
Clean all tools and equipment after use with water.
