<strong>Oakite</strong> ® <strong>Enhance</strong>Liquid additive that improves wetting and emulsifying action ofacidic, alkaline or water-miscible solvent cleaners.PRIMARY APPLICATION<strong>Oakite</strong> <strong>Enhance</strong> is a liquid additive designed to improve the performance of primary cleaningsolutions. Suitable for use with moderately acidic, alkaline or water-miscible solvent materials, inspray washers or soak tanks, <strong>Enhance</strong> helps remove difficult soils such as oils, grease, drawingcompounds and shop soils that might normally require impractical and costly increases in time,temperature or concentration of the base material. A real energy-saver, the material permitsremoval of difficult soils at reduced temperatures. <strong>Oakite</strong> <strong>Enhance</strong> is particularly useful as anadditive to three-stage <strong>Oakite</strong> CrysCoat iron phosphating materials, substantially improvingcleaning results. Non-silicated, non-phosphated, biodegradable, the material may also be usedalone as a neutral cleaner in spray washing machines. <strong>Oakite</strong> <strong>Enhance</strong> is authorized by theUSDA for use as an additive at 1/2 of 1% to 4% by volume (approximately 20% to 40% of initialbase material charge) of an entire cleaning solution containing any <strong>Oakite</strong> material authorized (byUSDA) for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICSchemical composition................................................blend of detergents and solventsphysical form .............................................................Iight-yellow liquidodor ...........................................................................slight aromaticspecific gravity (approx.) ...........................................1.057 at 20°C (68°F)bulk density ...............................................................1057 g/ at 20°C (8.8 lb/gal at 68°F)flash point .................................................................nonefoaming tendency......................................................Iow at 49°C (1 20°F) or above;moderate to high belowrecommended diluent................................................ water or water solutions of acidic, alkaline orwater-miscible solvent materialsmaximum solubility ....................................................completebehavior in hard water ..............................................goodrinsability ...................................................................goodbiodegradable surfactants.........................................yesphosphate-free ..........................................................yesnormal working concentrations .................................1/2 to 4% by volume of the entire cleaningsolutionnormal operating temperatures.................................ambient to 160°F max.pH at working concentrations....................................4.0 concentrated; assumes pH of basematerial when used as an additive

Generally, whether added to acidic, alkaline or water-miscible solvent materials,in tanks or spray washers, or used alone in spray washers, <strong>Enhance</strong> should be used between 1/2and 4% by volume of the total cleaning solution. Recommended temperatures range fromambient to 140-160°F maximum in spray washers and tank installations.Solution Control: There is no titration procedure for <strong>Oakite</strong> <strong>Enhance</strong>. Upkeep additions shouldbe made at the original, predetermined ratio. When used alone, solutions of <strong>Enhance</strong> may becontrolled by refractometer (available from Chemetall <strong>Oakite</strong>). Each percent by volume of<strong>Enhance</strong> equals 0.5 on the refractometer scale.EQUIPMENTThe Chemetall <strong>Oakite</strong> Chemical Metering Pump can be used to automatically maintain the makeup chemical requirement of this product. If predilution is required, the Chemetall <strong>Oakite</strong> waterdriven Proportioners can be used to automatically feed the premixed solution of this product tothe process tank. Please contact the Chemetall <strong>Oakite</strong> Process Equipment and EngineeringDepartment for specific recommendations.NOTES ON USE (See Material Safety Data Sheet)When used alone, no special tanks or coils are required. When used as an additive, the primarymaterial determines necessary equipment.Safety and Handling Precautions: <strong>Oakite</strong> <strong>Enhance</strong> is an industrial detergent-cleaner additive.<strong>Direct</strong> contact causes irritation of eyes. Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation. May beharmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes. Avoid prolonged skin contact. Wash thoroughly afterhandling. Do not take internally.First Aid in Case of Contact: For eyes, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; getmedical attention. For skin, flush with plenty of water If swallowed, give several glasses of waterto drink. Contact a physician.KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
