PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION PACK

What is Oxy Cleanze?

Oxy Cleanze is a versatile iron oxidation (eg rust stains) removal gel. It removes rust and other oxidation stains from most smooth, non-porous surfaces such as:

• Lead
• uPVC
• PVC
• Most other plastics
• Painted surfaces, including painted sand and cement render, and painted pre-coloured render
• Cladding
• GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), including GRP boats
• Steel, including stainless steel
• Cast iron
• Wood
• Most renders*
• Brickwork and other masonry
• Limescale (calcium carbonate) – from window glass.

It's active ingredient is safer for people, animals and our environment than the more dangerous alternatives such as hydrochloric acid (aka "brick acid") and sulphuric acid.

Quick tips:

1. Test before treating: Because there are so many types of render, with varying constituents, and formulas are constantly changing, it is impossible for us to test them all. So, with your customer's permission, always test a small, out of the way area of any surface you are considering treating with any of our products – and obtain your customer's agreement that the result is acceptable to them – before treating the entire area.
   
   
2. Copper oxide: Oxy Cleanze will not remove copper oxide staining.
   
   
3. Render: Our tests showed positive results on all the renders we’ve tried it on except cement based render. (i.e. sand and and cement, which should be painted anyway – and in which case, when painted, it too will be fine). But see point (1) above, as we cannot test all renders that are on the market.
   
   
4. Slate: Removing rust stains from slate may leave a white residue. This will come off with light rinsing and gentle agitation with a soft brush.
   
   
5. Concrete & stone: The ingredients of concrete can vary dramatically, along with the effect of Oxy Cleanze on concrete. Similarly there are many types of stone. Oxy Cleanze is not suitable for use on most concrete and stone.
   
   
   Quick tip: A white discolouration may occur on concrete and some other surfaces. The best way to avoid this is to cover surfaces that may receive spillage to protect them before using the product. Any discolouration will usually fade through time from natural weathering.
   
   
   
   Any spillages that do occur should be wiped off and rinsed with fresh water IMMEDIATELY to minimise the discolouration effect.
   
   
6. Rust killer: We've found Oxy Cleanze to be a highly effective rust killer on steel and cast iron. Before treating, remove all loose rust by scraping and scrubbing with a wire brush. And if possible, after treating, paint exposed surfaces with Hammerite to help prevent rust from recurring.

Oxy Cleanze is a professional-grade product that requires careful handling.

Always treat a test patch before treating the entire surface. We've outlined usage on common surfaces as a guide and stated the precautions you need to take.

Is Oxy Cleanze corrosive? Benz Oxy Cleanze is not classified as "metal corrosive" but is classified "skin corrosive" as it can cause skin burns and damage eyes. This is the reason for the "corrosive" pictogram on the product label.

Do not overuse: Overuse, and not rinsing residues after Oxy Cleanze has done it's work, can result in undesirable effects on some surfaces.

Spillages: IMMEDIATELY wipe off, and thoroughly rinse with water, any spillages of Oxy Cleanze to avoid the whitening effect seen in the photo below:

Coverage

A little goes a long way. 1 litre will treat approximately 10 square metres of a smooth, impermeable surface.

Application methods

Oxy Cleanze can be applied by brush or roller. We've found that brushing is easier and, using a wide brush, works best. Brushing can be very fast with 4-6 inch brush.

If you use a roller be very careful not to get spatters onto your body. This can happen without knowing about it at first.

For PPE, wear chemical resistant gloves and wrap-around eye protection at the very least and ensure all vulnerable skin surfaces are covered. We strongly recommend wearing a full face mask that also covers your hair.

Quick tips:

• Best applied in cool conditions to minimise boil-off, e.g. in summer, early morning or late afternoon.

Temperature considerations

Oxy Cleanze works faster in warm conditions: For example, 30 minutes during warm weather (15-25 ℃ ) can have the same effect as 4 hours in cooler (0-15 ℃ ) conditions. 

Shelf life

• As long as it is kept in an unopened, closed container and not exposed to extremes of temperature Oxy Cleanze should keep for up to 2 years.
• Always store Oxy Cleanze in the original container.
