DESCRIPTION:
Diedrich NEUTRA-SOAK is used to adjust the pH level of the runoff from building cleaning chemicals and paint removers. NEUTRA-SOAK adjusts the runoff to an acceptable, neutral range. EPA criteria mandates a pH reading between 2.0 to 12.5 to be classified as a non-corrosive material. It is recommended to adjust the pH to reach as close as possible to a neutral 7 pH. To achieve this, add a proportional amount, or as much as is required, of the appropriate NEUTRA-SOAK product to reduce or increase pH respectively, to achieve a neutral 7 pH. The color for neutral 7 pH on the pH paper would be orange.  NOTE: NEUTRA-SOAK "S" will absorb only, it will not neutralize solvents.

PROCEDURE:
Diedrich NEUTRA-SOAK products would be used to construct a dike 2 to 3 inches high, several feet from the structure. As chemical and water from the cleaning wash-off process fills the dike area, additional NEUTRA-SOAK should be spread over the contained runoff. The pH paper should then be used to determine the pH level of the contained and accumulated material. The proper procedure for testing pH level is as follows. Wet, with water, area to be tested. Wet a piece of the pH paper with water and place on the prewetted area. After a few minutes, check the pH paper for any color change. If the paper remains the original orange color, then a neutral 7 pH is indicated. From this reading ascertain if more or less of the appropriate Diedrich NEUTRA-SOAK should be used. Upon completion of work in an area, the

chemical and Diedrich NEUTRA-SOAK should be shoveled into pails or drums and be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.


DIEDRICH TECHNOLOGIES INC., IS THE FIRST CLEANING, RESTORATION, PAINT REMOVER PRODUCTS COMPANY' TO DEVELOP THIS SYSTEM. THESE PRODUCTS, USED CORRECTLY, WILL HELP PREVENT UNNECESSARY JOB SHUT DOWNS IN POTENTIAL POLLUTION RUNOFF SITUATIONS.


Note: NEUTRA-SOAK will not neutralize lead particles in paint and residue must still be collected and disposed of as hazardous waste.
