AgendaAgenda

Common problems associated with removing petroleum stains from concrete include:

•• Power washing cannot completely remove petroleum stainsPower washing cannot completely remove petroleum stains - residual oil remains trapped in the pores of concrete

•• Liquid cleaners only clean the surfaceLiquid cleaners only clean the surface – the result is that a brown stain is still left behind after the cleaning process.

• Rough and porous surfacesRough and porous surfaces – removing petroleum stains from these types of surfaces is especially tough.

•• Contamination of natural environmentContamination of natural environment – wastewater run-off from the cleaning process may damage the environment

SOLUTIONSSOLUTIONS

Waterless Technology has revolutionized the way which petroleum stains are removed from concrete surfaces. The advantages of waterless technology include:

•• Effective Stain Removal for Porous SurfacesEffective Stain Removal for Porous Surfaces – able to remove stains that conventional types of degreasers cannot.

•• Simplified Cleaning ProcessSimplified Cleaning Process – makes cleaning easy as there is no need for power scrubbing, power washing, or usage of water reclamation equipment.

•• No Wastewater to Pollute the EnvironmentNo Wastewater to Pollute the Environment – Since no wastewater is produced, there is no hazardous run-offs to cause harm to the environment.

•• No Toxic Chemicals Produced No Toxic Chemicals Produced

•• No Residue Mess to Clean UpNo Residue Mess to Clean Up

•• Minimal Service Area DowntimeMinimal Service Area Downtime – Application areas can be re-opened for use usually within minutes.

Waterless Cleaning Product Waterless Cleaning Product –– ReKRETEReKRETE

•• Completely waterless cleaning processCompletely waterless cleaning process – No need to use water before, during, or after the cleaning process.

•• Product formProduct form - Dry, finely granulized powder with active cleaning agents and chemically engineered bio-organics designed to breakdown hydrocarbon petroleum matter.

•• Penetrates deep into concrete poresPenetrates deep into concrete pores – With a specific gravity of 3.5 (compared to 1.0 for most liquid cleaners), ReKRETE is able to penetrate deep into the pores of concrete where petroleum-based stains are trapped. ReKRETE then breaks down the hydrocarbon chain of the petroleum stain. Once the chain is broken, ReKRETE decomposes and dissolves the hydrocarbons with bio-organic compounds that actually consume the stain.

•• Degrades petroleum oil effectivelyDegrades petroleum oil effectively – cleaning reagents and enzymes work together, allowing for effective degradation of petroleum oil.

Different from Conventional Degreasers

ReKRETE does no pose a threat to human health

Aquatic life and insects remained unharmed after the application of ReKRETE.

Carbon dioxide is the main by-product of ReKRETE.

ReKRETE is a great contrast to the conventional chemical degreasers

ReKRETE does not cause harm to the natural environment

ReKRETE is effective in removing hydrocarbon petroleum matters

Scientific Research on ReKRETEScientific Research on ReKRETE

• ReKRETE was awarded the ‘Green Label Award’ by Hong Kong Green Council in 2001.

• The Award distinguishes products that are more environmentally friendly than other products in the same industry.

• Products awarded the Green Label must meet the environmental standards of Hong Kong Green Council, a non-profit, non-partisan environmental association of Hong Kong.

Step 1. Using the scoop pour out a 1” wide by 36”long line in the center of the drip zone.

Step 2. Spread, not sweep the ReKRETE length-wise down the center of the stained area as shown.

Step 3. Spread across or width-wise twice until the entire area is evenly applied with ReKRETE.

What PATCOWhat PATCO’’S ReKRETE has that the S ReKRETE has that the Competition DOES NOTCompetition DOES NOT

• Patco’s Waterless Concrete Cleaner “ReKRETE” was the 1st on the market. Patco’s ReKRETE actually started the Waterless Concrete Cleaner Market.

• 14 Years of sales, service, “feet in the street”, field testing and concrete cleaning contracts that remain in place today.

• Green Seal approval for both ReKRETE and CAAPS in Asia. (The US Green Seal does not have a category for ReKRETE )

• Testing from Polytechnic University that proves the ReKRETE technology works just like we say it does. No one else has any such testing.

• ReKRETE was designed by a Chemist and an Engineer. (Nick Demos @ Rocky Flats Nuclear site clean up and Mike Vannatta, Concrete and Structural Engineer for the state of Colorado )

• Patco has a national team of Account Managers, located in and around every major metropolitan area ready to provide the follow-up training and supervision. We believe supervision & training are the two keys to any successful cleaning program. Patco’s Account Managers will be an extension of your operational support team.

ReKRETE is cleaner based ReKRETE is cleaner based notnot absorbent basedabsorbent based

• ReKRETE has CAAPS as the cleaning agent included in the formulation. CAAPS can be used separately to visually show that ReKRETE has an actual cleaning agent. No one else can do this or show this. The pH must be the same on their cleaning product to be in their dry product

• Absorbent based products work like a sponge. They try and lift the oil out of the pores. If they can not touch the oil they can’t clean the oil or remove the oil.

• Absorbent base products are simply surface cleaners

• ReKRETE has a specific gravity of 3.5 to help penetrate deep into the pores or sub surface of the concrete. Thus removing the oil from the pores.

• ReKRETE was designed for heavy traffic areas like gas stations.

• The cars driving over the applied ReKRETE actually help to make ReKRETE work better by pushing it even further into the pores of the concrete. Self cleaning & scrubbing

• Brand X will lift off when cars drive over these absorbent based products. Short term cover up. It does not bond with the oil.

• ReKRETE once applied and gets wet or rained on or even snowed on actually helps to make the cleaning agent work better. Once again due to the specific gravity ReKRETE will not wash off or rinse off with a rain event.

• Once ReKRETE is applied it will NOT wash off, rinse off or drive off of the oil stain area. The stain will remain a grayish white color till the stain is decomposed.

• ReKRETE has the smallest particle size available by a process of double grinding during the blending process. Particle size is very important in order to get into the pores of the concrete. If the particles are too large to get into the pores where the oil is they can not effectively clean the subsurface oil. Simply making them a surface cleaner or absorbent.

• All of the other products on the market have particle sizes too large and are like trying to put a golf ball into a 12 oz. beer bottle from the top opening. It doesn’t work.

• ReKRETE is designed to be a subsurface cleaning process by encapsulating and bonding the oil below the surface and then decomposing the oil with the help of surfactants (CAAPS) that break the surface tension of the oil or hydrocarbon chain. (This part of the process can be show visually with CAAPS and wet oil when you get the rainbow effect that you can see. Just sprinkle a few flakes of CAAPS on the rainbow and watch it work.

• No one else can provide this. Nobody else has a cleaning agent that they can show or prove through visual or laboratory testing (Dr Chan’s Ploy Tech testing)

• ReKRETE once applied works better if it rains or snows right after you apply it.

• ReKRETE will not wash off, rinse off, blow off or tract off of the oil stained area once applied. All of the other products will easily come off with any of the above.
