• Easy to clean and apply the coating
• No high-pressure cleaners used -
no spray mist

HVP O oil remover is applied and brushed
into the capillaries with water if neces- vibrations, as is the case during
sary. The existing hydrocarbon chains milling and chiselling work
are separated. HVP O oil remover creates
micro oil particles. The encapsulated
micro oil particles are transported to the
surface by the capillary action and the
water. The foam action accelerates the
effect of rising.
