Zonex K - Industrial Cleaner®
DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE:
SWEPCO Zonex-K Industrial Cleaner is a green, non-abrasive activating chemical compound
containing triethanolamine dodecyl benzene sulfonate, alcohol ethoxylate and sodium
tripolyphosphates. When mixed with water, it forms a powerful, all-purpose cleaning solution that
removes dirt, grease, grime and microscopic particles.
UNIQUE CLEANING ACTION
The cleaning action of SWEPCO Zonex-K Industrial Cleaner is a result of the interaction of the active ingredients with water. The triethanolamine dodecyl benzene sulfonate is a powerful, non-abrasive detergent that breaks down dirt, grease and grime. Alcohol ethoxylate is a non-ionic detergent which increases the cleaning action of Zonex-K, and also acts as a
surfactant to diminish surface tension. It allows Zonex-K to lift dirt and grime from the surface
and hold it in suspension so the surface rinses clean. The sodium tripolyphosphates aid the cleaning action of the detergents. Aside from cleaning, these special ingredients also have the capability of breaking down the minerals contained in the water, causing Zonex-K to have a sheeting action that helps prevent streaking and spotting.
VERSATILE, ALL PURPOSE CLEANING
SWEPCO ZONEX-K Industrial Cleaner can be used on anything washable. For most
cleaning jobs, a 1 to 128 mix ratio to water is sufficient. To remove heavy
deposits of greasy dirt and grime, it can be mixed with a solvent such as
Kerosene. Zonex-K has a special additive that makes it as effective in hard
water as in soft water. Zonex-K can be used for general purpose cleaning in
every type business, institution and industry.
Zonex-K is the ideal cleaning product for service stations, airports, auto
showrooms and dealerships, restaurants, country clubs, department stores, auto
rental agencies, printing companies, manufacturing plants, colleges and
universities, banks, government buildings, armed forces facilities, trucking
companies and apartment complexes.
CONCENTRATED FOR ECONOMY
For most cleaning purposes, one gallon (4 liters) of SWEPCO Zonex-K Industrial
Cleaner makes 128 gallons (485 liters) of cleaning solution which makes it very
economical. It also cuts costs and reduces inventory because it takes the place
of many other cleaners, cleansers, soaps, solvents, detergents, degreasers and
ammonia. Zonex-K even replaces specialty products like window cleaners and wax
removers. (It easily removes wax from asphalt tile, rubber tile, linoleum floor
coverings, cork, wood, terrazzo and concrete floors.) But its economy is
emphasized by the fact that only one ounce (30 ml) of Zonex-K, when mixed with
water at a 1:128 cleaner-to-water ratio, can clean up to 2,000square feet
(200m2). And there's no waste with Zonex-K because it is extremely stable and
has no tendency to evaporate, separate or settle out. And a special preservative
insures that the last
ounce in the container is as strong and effective as the first one was.
SIMPLE AND SAFE TO USE
SWEPCO Zonex-K Industrial Cleaner is simple and safe to use. It is non-flammable
and produces no harmful fumes. Its PH value in diluted strength (7.2 to 7.8) is
one of the lowest in cleaning products, and insures that it won't harm skin or
delicate surfaces. It is non-abrasive and contains no harmful alkalis, so it
won't harm the lustre of metal, plastic, glass or wood.No special tools or
techniques are required for mixing Zonex-K, and it is used just as other
cleaning solutions. Mix ratios and application techniques for both ordinary and
special cleaning jobs are contained in the application
instructions.
STORAGE
SWEPCO Zonex-K Industrial Cleaner has an indefinite shelf life provided
containers are kept tightly sealed. It will freeze at temperatures lower than
16°F (-9°C). If transferred to smaller containers for application or storage,
only containers of glass, plastic or lined metal should be sued. Unlined metal
containers will rust after prolonged contact with Zonex-K.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SWEPCO Zonex-K Industrial Cleaner is
a non-abrasive, highly concentrated
activating chemical cleaner. When
mixed with water, it forms a powerful,
all purpose cleaning solution that
removes dirt, grease, grime and microscopic
particles. It is completely biodegradable,
non-streaking and leaves the
clean surface with a fresh pleasant
smell. SWEPCO Zonex-K surpasses,
U.S. Federal Specification P-D220D,
Type II, Class II. This specification
applies to General Purpose Detergents
as defined by the U. S. Government.
CLEANING PROCEDURE:
Most
normal cleaning jobs require only 1
ounce of SWEPCO Zonex-K Industrial
Cleaner for 1 gallon of clean water (7.5
ml/liter). Cleaning may be done with
mop, brush, sponge or cloth as in
normal cleaning procedures. Special
applications and mix ratios follow:
WAX REMOVAL: Mix 1 pint Zonex-K
with 1 gallon of water (.125 liter/liter).
Apply with mop and let stand for five
minutes. Do not allow the mixture to
dry! Buff with No. 3 grade steel wool
and rinse the floor twice.
CONCRETE SURFACES: Mix 1 part
Zonex-K to 5 parts solvent, preferably
kerosene. For good emulsification, first
thoroughly mix 1 part Zonex-K with 1
part kerosene, then add remaining 4
parts of solvent. Apply with heavy
brush, let soak and rinse with a high
pressure hose. One gallon (3.79 liters) of
solution cleans approximately 150 sq. ft.
(13.94 m2).
MACHINERY AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT:
Add 1 to 6 ounces of Zonex-K
to each gallon of water (7.5 to 45 ml/
liter). Apply mixture, allowing cleaner
to remain on heavily soiled areas for five
to ten minutes. Wipe surface clean and
rinse.
ENGINES: Warm engine before
cleaning. Add 1 part Zonex-K to 5
parts kerosene. Apply with brush,
letting the solution soak and rinse with
a high pressure hose.
HAND WASHING: For an effective
hand cleaner which can be used in
liquid soap dispensers, mix a solution of
1/2 Zonex-K and 1/2 water.
STEAM CLEANING: Mix 1 part
Zonex-K to 25 parts of cold water. A
stronger solution may be required for
heavily soiled areas.
TANK CLEANING AND DIP BATH:
Mix 1 part Zonex-K to 25 parts of cold
water in a cleaning tank. Agitation
speeds cleaning.
STUBBORN STAINS: For stubborn
cleaning jobs, add more Zonex-K than is
specified in the instructions. For quick
cleaning of stains and fingerprints, pour
full strength Zonex-K onto a sponge or
cloth and wipe clean.
PRECAUTIONS: SWEPCO Zonex-K
Industrial Cleaner will freeze at
temperatures lower than 16°F. (-9°C). If
transferred to smaller containers for
application or storage use only containers
of plastic or lined metal. Unlined
metal containers will rust after prolonged
contact with SWEPCO Zonex-K
Industrial Cleaner.
