VpCI®-417/VpCI®-417 Safe-T-Charge

VpCI-417 is a cleaner in powder form from intermediates which are chemically reacted at controlled temperatures and pressures. The compounds contained in VpCI-417 function by chemically altering grease and dirt so that deposits can be removed with water. VpCI-417 can be metered into steam cleaners. It is non-flammable, nitrite-free, non-toxic, and does not present disposal problems associated with most phosphate cleaners.

VpCI-417 contains inhibitors to protect metal parts from corrosion after cleaning. It has a unique ability to remove such difficult to clean deposits as heavy hydrocarbons, grease, drawing and buffing compounds, and mill and machinery oils. VpCI-417 also saves energy costs required for hot alkaline cleaners presently used in the industry.

VpCI-417 Safe-T-Charge combines all the cleaning properties of VpCI-417 with a convenient delivery system. Safe-T-Charge 417 is packaged in a polyvinyl alcohol bag (PVA) for safe handling and easy measurement. Simply place the bag into the wash system and allow the bag and powder to dissolve. Safe-T-Charge 417 is available in 1 lb (0.45 kg) and 5 lbs (2.26) kg.
