HD Britenol
All-Purpose Mild-Acid Based Cleaner
HD Britenol is an all-purpose cleaner acid designed to be used on homes and in light-duty commercial applications. It can be used on a variety of masonry surfaces, polished stone surfaces, limestone, fiberglass, tile, porcelain, metal finishes, concrete, wood, painted aluminum and vinyl siding. HD Britenol removes stains that can occur under the eaves on siding.
Advantages:
• Safe on skin
• 100% safe on glass
• Improves productivity
Suitable Substrates:
The following substrates have been tested on and are deemed suitable under standard conditions. Pre-testing should always be completed:
• Aluminum Siding
• Asphalt Shingles
• Concrete
• EIFS
• Fiberglass
• Granite
• Limestone
• Porcelain
• Stainless Steel (non-coated)
• Stucco
• Tile
• Unpolished marble
• Vinyl Siding
• Wood
While this list is extensive, there are other substrates that HD Britenol may be suitable on that are not listed. Every cleaning situation is unique in its own way. Please follow all precaution, pre-testing and application instructions included on the HD Britenol Product Data Sheet. (Located below)
Dilutions:
• 4 parts water to 1 part HD Britenol for asphalt shingles
• Undiluted to 15 parts water to 1 part HD Britenol for aggressive staining
• 20-60 parts water to 1 part HD Britenol for standard maintenance and cleaning
Note: Dilutions will vary based on the severity of stain and type of surface.
Coverage Rates:
Coverage rates will vary based on dilutions, porosity severity of stain, application method, and other factors. Proper testing will determine actual coverage rate.
Application Instructions:
1. Pre-wet the surface (do not saturate) with water before applying HD Britenol.
2. For best results, apply HD Britenol twice to the surface. Allow several minutes in between applications – do not allow the product to dry on the surface.
3. HD Britenol can be used as a one-step cleaner or in a two-step cleaning system (acid then alkaline) with Cleansol BC. The two-step system creates neutralization and will boost performance in difficult areas such as under eaves.
Rinsing:
Proper rinsing techniques determine the final look and quality of the job. A thorough rinse job is always recommended; however, our chemistry never requires flooding the surface. HD Britenol can be rinsed using cold water and low pressure. Pressures that mark the surface should be avoided. When in doubt, follow the manufacturers recommended P.S.I. for the substrates.
Do not use a zero-degree nozzle.
Caution: Do not allow the product to dry on a surface.
