GTN works in two modes. Applied before a production run it makes it harder for concrete to stick to the equipment. Applied after a shift it dissolves and softens the deposit overnight, so it washes off with water in the morning.

According to the manufacturer, GTN contains no petrochemicals or heavy metals and is not classified as corrosive - which sets it apart from traditional acidic mixer cleaners.

Typical places of use: mixers, batching plant, moulds, formwork, tools.

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.

GTN, GTL or GTR Premium?

GTN - concrete build-up, with a preventive mode. GTL - cement laitance, cement and lime, for daily cleaning of plant. GTR Premium - concrete and cement residues together with oils, where the soiling is mixed.

Can I leave the product on overnight?

Yes - that is its cleaning mode: apply it at the end of the working day and wash the deposit off with water in the morning.

How much will you need?

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