GTL is made for the daily removal of cement laitance, cement and lime from site plant and equipment - regular care instead of a once-a-season rescue job.

The traditional products for this job are acidic and corrosive. According to the safety data sheet, GTL is irritant rather than corrosive, which means less stringent requirements for storage and handling.

Equipment is cleaned differently from a surface: the deposit is thicker, and the substrate - metal, rubber, lacquer, seals - is often more sensitive than concrete.

  • Check the technical data for the materials the product does not attack.
  • Work on fresh or softened deposits. A product applied at the end of a shift works overnight and the deposit washes off in the morning.
  • Do not let the product dry on the part being cleaned.
  • Rinse thoroughly and dry metal parts before putting equipment away for any length of time.

According to the manufacturers' data, the products in this range are not classified as corrosive - at most as irritant. Even so, always wear gloves and eye protection.

Can I use these products on block paving?

No. These products are formulated for metal and equipment, not for absorbent mineral substrates. For cleaning surfaces, use the products in "Cleaning and restoration".

What is the difference between a preventive and a cleaning product?

When you use it. A preventive product goes on before the soiling, or right after work, so the deposit never bonds. A cleaning product dissolves a deposit that has already stuck. Some products, such as GTN, do both.

Does the product need neutralising after rinsing?

It depends on the product's chemistry. If it needs no neutralising, its description says so. If there is nothing on it, write to us before you start and we will tell you how to proceed.

How does it differ from GTN?

By the kind of deposit. GTL targets cement laitance, cement and lime. GTN targets bonded concrete build-up and additionally has a preventive mode before a production run.

How much will you need?

Consumption depends on how absorbent the surface is and how you apply the product.
