OT8

A new approach to the removal of oil stains on hard surfaces and porous block work.

A biological oil stain remover that rapidly removes and digests oil stains from surfaces such as block work, paving stones, concrete, forecourts, garage floors, driveways and equipment.

KEY PROPERTIES

Penetrates and lifts oil stains from most porous surfaces.

Contains a blend of biological enzymes and bacteria to digest oil stains to completion.

APPLICATION

OT8 is simple to use and lifts oil stains from most porous surfaces.
  • Shake container before use (to put bacteria into suspension).
  • Water wet the oil stain before applying OT8.
  • Brush into the stain until OT8 changes colour from white to brown.
  • Leave for 20 minutes and water rinse.
  • Approximately 1 litre of OT8 treats 1 square metre.

If using OT8 KIT

  • After rinsing, apply Spill Gel to absorb free oil and prevent spills reaching surface drains.
  • Sweep up and dispose of according to local regulations. Rinse clean.

Note

  • OT8 is a biological solution that uses harmless bacteria to remove oil stains from porous surfaces.
  • For best results or for when using on larger stains, cover the treated area with polythene sheeting − ideally making a tent − and keep in place for up to a week. Ensure the area remains damp, but not flooded. Doing this provides a warm and damp environment, giving the bacteria used in OT8 the best conditions to grow and digest the oil into carbon dioxide and water.
  • On old, weathered and ingrained oil stains, the oil stain may “re-appear”. This is because the bacteria in OT8 keep working after application to bring the ingrained oil stain to the surface. Some types of concrete are more easily treated than others and for optimum stain removal it may be necessary for OT8 to be applied more than once, over an extended period of time.
  • OT8 is not suitable for oil stains on Tarmac − please use Bio TA.
