2115 Heritage Restoration Cleaner
2115 Heritage Restoration Cleaner is a safer alternative to the use of Hydrofluoric Acid type restoration cleaners. The buffered acid in 2115 Heritage Restoration Cleaner substantially reduces the possibility of discoloration or burning of the masonry surface. Heritage Restoration Cleaner has been used to remove light to moderate atmospheric soiling and is a satisfactory cleaner for some heavily soiled surfaces. 2115 Heritage Restoration Cleaner should not be used on concrete, marble or limestone masonry. When properly tested, 2115 Heritage Restoration Cleaner is a safer alternative to harsh acids or abrasive cleaning of masonry surfaces.
Preparation
Provide protection for window glass, aluminum frames, painted surfaces, foliage and pedestrian traffic. Test all non-masonry surfaces for possible negative reaction. Shut off all ventilation intakes, close all other entrances to the structure, provide temporary caulking if needed and provide protection to ensure that no cleaner or cleaner fumes enter the structure during application and rinsing of the surface. Protect all surrounding areas from possible damage, which might occur from spillage or spray during usage.
All projects should start with a series of test applications to determine the suitability of the cleaner for the subject surface or surfaces and to determine the proper dilution ratios. Some projects may require different dilutions for different masonry that may be a part of the same facade. Test areas of at least 10 square feet are recommended for each type of masonry surface and should involve the most difficult cleaning situations. When possible, these test areas should be left to age for 10 days or more to determine if there are any latent reactions that might require a modification of the cleaning methods or products. Application s
Pre-wet the surface prior to the application of the properly diluted cleaner. Apply the diluted cleaner with either acid brushes or low-pressure spray. Spray application should not be done at pressures greater than 40 p.s.i. Leave the cleaner on the surface for the appropriate time as determined during testing. Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the surface. Scrubbing with masonry brushes may be beneficial in some cases. Remove the cleaner with pressure rinsing equipment that provides a minimum flow rate of 3.5 g.p.m. and offers a series of fan tips not narrower than 15 degrees in width and up to 45 degrees in width. Avoid the use of "laser" tips or any other pressure acceleration tips. Always be aware of cleaner drift during application and rinsing to avoid possible damage.
Limitations
2115 Heritage Restoration Cleaner is for use by professional contractors only.
Some soiling conditions may require a two step cleaning method with the first
step being 2140 Masonry Restorer NA followed by 2115 Heritage Restoration Cleaner.
The need for this method of cleaning should be determined during the test phase
of the project. Refer to 2140 Masonry Restorer NA Data Sheet for more information
on this procedure. The use of dilution ratios of less than one part water should
be avoided and must require the acceptance of the architect or project manager
prior to any cleaning undertaken at this concentration.
