• Instructions for Using KLEEN KOTE in Vessel Cargo Holds When Hauling Coal, Pet Coke, Iron Ore Fines and Scrap or Pig Iron
- Mix Ratio  -  8 to 1 (3 to 1 thru 5 to 1 for GDP)

- Use KLEEN KOTE to keep any of the above cargo from sticking to or staining the cargo hold or deck area.  It is an environmentally safe, easy to use alternative to traditional methods of protecting or repainting the entire hold.  It also provides rust inhibiting qualities to help prevent corrosion on any part of the ship.


• Tips for Use
- Remove all previous release agents and/or other chemicals from the cargo hold prior to applying KLEEN KOTE to eliminate any adverse reaction between KLEEN KOTE and any chemical residue previously left behind.

- When transporting the above products, spray the entire cargo hold with KLEEN KOTE before EVERY load.

- KLEEN KOTE must turn from white to clear after it is sprayed in the cargo hold or on the deck area before you start loading. 

- After unloading, wash the entire hold with a strong detergent and a power washer.  ALWAYS WASH FROM THE TOP DOWN!  THIS WILL HELP PREVENT STAINING.  You must reapply KLEEN KOTE before transporting your next load.

- KLEEN KOTE can be applied to a damp surface.


• Instructions
- Step 1 – Determine Your Mix Ratio
> Please see the above starting mix ratio.  Ratios can be adjusted based upon your results. They may be adjusted up or down in one part increments to achieve optimum results.
> NOTE: The more concentrate you add the thicker and more protective KLEEN KOTE will be.

- Step 2 – Mixing
> Using a clean container, add KLEEN KOTE and water to achieve the recommended ratio for your application.  Adding KLEEN KOTE to water and then adding more water will eliminate the need for mixing.  Do NOT mix with diesel, fuels or oils.  Do NOT mix with other release agents or sea water.

- Step 3 – Application
> KLEEN KOTE may be applied at any time.  For best results, the application surface should be cleaned prior to application.  Remove all other chemicals before applying KLEEN KOTE.

-Step 4 – Spraying
> Spray on and then let change from white to clear before loading.  If KLEEN KOTE freezes on the surface you are treating, it will still work.  Reapply after every use. 

- Typical Coverage Rates
> 1 gallon of mixed KLEEN KOTE will cover approx. 2000 square feet, depending on the surface type. Spray on for best performance and ease of application.


• Notes
- DO NOT switch back and forth between KLEEN KOTE and other release agents due to incompatibility. 
- You do not have to wait for the hold to dry after cleaning. KLEEN KOTE may be applied directly to a wet hold.
- In freezing weather, mix product as needed.  Concentrate will not freeze however premix may freeze.
