Applications & Uses

Home Care Applications
Applications

CitraFlor OT is designed to be used in the concentrated form at ambient temperature. Applied by hand or dip (unheated), CitraFlor OT works fast to clean a variety of tough residues including adhesives, heavy grease, lubricants, silicones, surface oils, and waxes. The drying process can be accelerated by following with a clean wipe or desiccated forced air. This product is also ideal for aerosol and saturated wipes packaging.

For handwipe applications requiring faster evaporation, CitraFlor OT3 is recommended. CitraFlor OT8 or CitraFlor HF are recommended for cleaning operations demanding a closed cup flash point higher than > 140° F (60°C).
