AMBRA clean

AMBRA clean is an ecological, water-soluble cleaning concentrate, which solves the particular contamination with fats and oils, therebyallowing natural biological degradation.

AMBRA clean is

eco-friendly

fully bio-degradable

made from natural renewable resources

hypoallergenic

non-toxic to humans, animals and the environment

Example: Stettin harbour

• water is buffered and the oil floats• water is buffered and the oil floats

• oil is separated from the water phase• oil is separated from the water phase

• water passes a coalescence separator being pumped to a flotation

• water passes a coalescence separator being pumped to a flotation

• suitable chemicals are added and the remaining oil is separated completely

• suitable chemicals are added and the remaining oil is separated completely

• the cleaning water from holds is contaminated with particles, which are separated and pressed within a spiral sieve

What is AMBRA clean and how does it work?

AMBRA clean is an ecological, water-soluble cleaning concentrate which has a much highercleaning power than other cleaning agents known so far due to the new type of surfactants it contains.

The basic active agent made from natural renewableresources is completely and easily biodegradable(CO2 development test according to 67/548 EWG).

� This means it thereby does not only lose itssurfactant effect but completely degrades into H2Oand CO2!


How surfactants work

Surfactants are surface active substances which, when dissolved in water, enable the resultingemulsion (surfactants plus water) to remove dirt fromsurfaces (machines, floors, walls etc.) but also thehuman skin, textiles or other solid material.

AMBRA clean removes dirt caused by animal, vegetable, synthetic and mineral oil or fat.

It is the efficient, environmentally friendly cleaningsolution for commerce and industry.

� If properly applied, the dirty water can be easily

disposed of in the sewage system after

cleaning.


Characteristics of AMBRA clean boat cleaner

AMBRA clean boat cleaner is suited for all washable, smooth andshiny surfaces made of ceramics, metal, plastics and varnish.

Due to its high grease dissolving power it is particularly suited for cleaning and degreasing engine, engine bay, tool cleaning, degreasing, removal of oil stains and the daily maintenance cleaning.

It easily and gently removes stubborn dirt like algas, yellow or grey fog, mould stains, salt stains and much more without attacking the surface or any material. Also, and in particular, suited for cleaning the tarpaulin.

Also suited for cleaning under deck, the kitchen and bathroometc., as well as upholstery and carpets.

Usable as first-aid measure in case of fuel leaks.

In case of heating, no harmful substances are released.

General waste legislation applies.
