VpCI-417 is a cleaner in powder form from inter- mediates which are chemically reacted at controlled temperatures and pressures. The compounds con- tained in VpCI-417 function by chemically altering grease and dirt so that deposits can be removed with water. VpCI-417 can be metered into steam clean- ers. It is non-flammable, nitrite-free, non-toxic, and does not present disposal problems associated with most phosphate cleaners.

VpCI-417 contains inhibitors to protect metal parts from corrosion after cleaning. It has a unique ability to remove such difficult to clean deposits as heavy hydrocarbons, grease, drawing and buffing com- pounds, and mill and machinery oils. VpCI-417 also saves energy costs required for hot alkaline cleaners presently used in the industry.

VpCI-417 Safe-T-Charge combines all the cleaning properties of VpCI-417 with a convenient delivery sys- tem. Safe-T-Charge 417 is packaged in a polyvinyl al- cohol bag (PVA) for safe handling and easy measure- ment. Simply place the bag into the wash system and allow the bag and powder to dissolve. Safe-T-Charge 417 is available in 1 lb (0.45 kg) and 5 lbs (2.26) kg.

APPLICATION
VpCI-417 can be applied using power washers, steam cleaners, sprayers, and dipping tanks.

Light cleaning:
Use 2% (by weight) VpCI-417 in water.

Normal cleaning:
For machinery, rail cars, offshore equipment and tanks contaminated with medium deposits use 3% (by weight) VpCI-417 in water.
