Detartrol is a powerful descaling solution designed to remove built-up paint, sludge and scale from spray booths and many other industrial water installations. Simply add to your booth water and allow it to work. The solution should be allowed to circulate for between 24-30 hours (which can be spread across working shifts) and once complete the booth water should be removed, spray nozzles cleaned, pipes flushed and surfaces rinsed before being filled ready for use.
Having been cleaned you will notice not only the obvious such as clean back screens and tank but also an improved water pressure as the Detartrol will have softened and removed paint that, over time, has built-up within the system. This has reduced the water pressure and increased down-time through blockages and breakdowns.
Detartrol is designed to be used with our Proco range of booth coagulants that will allow your booth to be kept clear of paint build-up by allowing you to remove paint on a regular basis to suit your requirements.

Can I really use my booth with Detartrol in it?
Yes. Detartrol will not have any detrimental effect upon your booth operation which should affect your work during the cleaning process. The only thing that you may find is that, initially, the booth water may produce foam which can be easily treated with an addition of our anti-foam. Other than that, the booth can be used as normal.
Why do I need to flush the booth before refilling it?
Detartrol is a very effective and powerful product that, if not completely removed from the system, could potentially hinder the way that our Proco range of products operate as the water may not have the appropriate pH level. Also, it is a strong acidic product and you want your booth water to be as neutral as possible. This is why we recommend cleaning the booth of all sludge, rinse the surfaces and flush all pipes and nozzles before refilling.
Is there anything else I should be aware of?
Not really as we have covered the main points. Whilst the cleaning solution is pumping around the system it will be softening paint and scale build-up. You may find that this will block small areas such as nozzles so be aware of this during the cleaning process.
We are asked many questions on our range of Detartrol products and we can't list them all on this section. If you have a question that isn't shown here then please let us know. You can call us or send an email via our Contact Us page.
