A BREAKTHROUGH IN PETROLEUM STAIN REMOVAL Presented by 3-Star

•  Common Problems Associated with Petroleum Oil Removal

•  Waterless Technology for Stain Removal

•  Waterless Cleaning Product: ReKRETE

•  Proven Track Record

•  Independent Third Party Scientific Research

•  Summary: Key Strengths of ReKRETE�

Agenda�

Common problems associated with removing petroleum stains from concrete include:

•  Power washing cannot completely remove petroleum stains - residual oil remains trapped in the pores of concrete�

•  Liquid cleaners only clean the surface – the result is that a brown stain is still left behind after the cleaning process.

•  Rough and porous surfaces – removing petroleum stains from these types of surfaces is especially tough.�

•  Contamination of natural environment – wastewater run-off from the cleaning process may damage the environment

Problems� Solutions� Waterless Technology has revolutionized the way which petroleum stains are removed from concrete surfaces. The advantages of waterless technology include:

•  Effective Stain Removal for Porous Surfaces – able to remove stains that conventional types of degreasers cannot.�

•  Simplified Cleaning Process – makes cleaning easy as there is no need for power scrubbing, power washing, or usage of water reclamation equipment.

•  No Wastewater to Pollute the Environment – Since no wastewater is produced, there is no hazardous run-offs to cause harm to the environment.

•  No Toxic Chemicals Produced •  No Residue Mess to Clean Up •  Minimal Service Area Downtime – Application areas can be re-

opened for use usually within minutes.

•  Completely waterless cleaning process – No need to use water before, during, or after the cleaning process. •  Product form - Dry, finely granulized power with active cleaning agents and chemically engineered bio-organics designed to

breakdown hydrocarbon petroleum matter.�•  Penetrates deep into concrete pores – With a specific gravity of 3.5 (compared to 1.0 for most liquid cleaners), 3-Star Concrete Powder

is able to penetrate deep into the pores of concrete where petroleum-based stains are trapped. 3-Star Concrete Powder then breaks down the hydrocarbon chain of the petroleum stain. Once the chain is broken, 3-Star Concrete Powder decomposes and dissolves the hydrocarbons with bio-organic compounds that actually consume the stain.

•  Degrades petroleum oil effectively – cleaning reagents and enzymes work together, allowing for effective degradation of petroleum oil.

Step 1. Using the scoop pour out a 1” wide by 36” long line in the center of the drip zone.

Step 2. Spread, not sweep the 3-Star Concrete Powder length-wise down the center of the stained area as shown.

Step 3. Spread across or width-wise twice until the entire area is evenly applied with 3-Star Concrete Powder.

3-Star Concrete Powder is easy to apply with just a few simple steps.
