| 2. Centrifugal Extraction: |
Bring to full speed for 1 to 2 minutes and release.
|
| 3. Hydraulic Extraction: |
250 PSI pressure for 3 minutes and release.
|
| 4. Drying: |
Tumble at 120°-140°F.
|
| 5. Handling/Processing: |
1. The final rinse water should be titrated to determine
the amount of active alkali. If higher than 50ppm
over tap, an additional rinse is required.
2. To insure the total removal of excess alkali, souring
may be desired. This should be done according to
the recommendation of the supplier of the souring
chemical.
3. All of the processing temperatures are very critical.
High washing and drying temperature can severely
damage the fibers.
4. Bleach is not recommended. If used, amount
should not exceed the equivalent of 1 quart of 1%
concentrate per 100lbs of mops at 10.0 - 10.5 pH.
5. During first use or first laundering, some indicator
color may be visible in the solution. This color is
not a dye, however pre-rinsing before use may be
desired. |
