Natural Environmental Systems, LLC announces the release of its new environmentally friendly industrial grade cleaner, SPILLTREAT, for the cleaning of oil and fuel spills and to remove oil and grease stains. The product is an all-natural alternative to toxic, caustic chemical solvents and chemical degreasers that are so prevalent.
SPILLTREAT contains a proprietary blend of 4 high-end surfactants, which include 2 macro-surfactants that encapsulates the hydrocarbons and prevent them from being re-deposited on the treated surface, a penetrant surfactant to ensure the product will penetrate into cracks and crevices of the treated surface and finally a wetting surfactant to adjust the surface tension and allow increased movement of the product across the treated surface. In addition to the surfactants, SPILLTREAT also contains a high concentration of petroleum degrading microbes that naturally break down the hydrocarbons and converts them to harmless water and carbon dioxide to complete the treatment process.
SPILLTREAT provides benefits such as: biodegrades oil and fuel spills, reduces fire hazards, reduces slipping hazards, inerts volatile spills, removes stubborn oil stains and controls odors.
"We are extremely excited about this new product and its wide array of uses, particularly in the commercial and industrial sectors. This product is ideal in the oil industry for keeping rigs clean, reducing slippery floor surfaces and treating spills and leaks from refineries and production facilities. Railroad companies and rail yards will find it useful in treating leaks and spills on tracks and for cleaning cars. It is also an excellent degreaser for tools and heavy machinery parts in all types of manufacturing processes and will help reduces hazardous waste streams. Pretty much any place oil spill clean up is required or petroleum products are used , whether it be gasoline or diesel fuels, oil and grease, hydraulic fluid, etc, SPILLTREAT will have a use," states Casey Coke, Natural Environmental Systems, LLC.
SPILLTREAT is applied with water through either a water type fire extinguisher or a pump up garden sprayer. The solution of SPILLTREAT and water is sprayed thoroughly over the area and allowed to sit for approximately 10-15 minutes. Tougher stains may require scrubbing. The solution is then rinsed away, whereby the microbes will take over the degradation process. Tools and the like can simply be soaked in the solution.
