Surface Cleaning Question

[max_rob]

Any flat work people. Have any of you used Sodium Hydroxide on Drive thrus, and if so what is your dilution ratio?

I use Zep Flash Light/Split, it is made for reclaim systems.

Also does a good job if you mix it right and allow dwell time.

NaOH works fine, but Acod works better. You just need to make sure that there are inhibitors in it.
One of the best that I have found that is readily available is made by ZEP and is for cleaning Carwash tunnels. IT stinks at cleaning tunnels, but is great for concrete, and is Phosphouric acid based.

Ok, this is what I found that really is working well on the auto grease on concreate. I mixed, 2 cups of caustic beads with 1 gallon of Power Klean Special. Then the rest of a 5 gallon bucket with warm water. I sprayed this onto the surface. Then let it dwell for 15 minutes. Then I hit it with the surface cleaner. worked extremly well.

caustic beads?

What are caustic beads? What are they made of? Where do you get them?

Caustic beads, or caustic flakes, is raw sodium hydroxide, and can be very dangerous if not handled properly.
