Actichem Polyprop Plus (Olefin Carpet Prespray) - AP986
Overcome the unique challenges of cleaning polypropylene commercial carpets with Actichem Polyprop Plus (AP986). Polypropylene (Olefin) is an inherently hydrophobic fiber, meaning it repels water but acts like a magnet for heavy oils, atmospheric pollutants, and greasy traffic-lane soils. Standard carpet detergents struggle to penetrate this oily barrier, often leading to dull, grey results and severe post-cleaning 'wick-back'. This specialized olefin carpet prespray is engineered with advanced soil-release agents that specifically target, suspend, and release severe oil-based contamination from polypropylene fibers.
Unlike traditional industrial degreasers that rely on aggressively high alkalinity (which can chemically damage fibers and void warranties), Polyprop Plus operates at a carefully controlled pH of 10.5. This low-alkaline, fiber-conscious formulation provides immense restorative cleaning power while drastically reducing fiber stress. Highly effective against black filtration lines around skirting boards and greasy foot-traffic soils, this double-strength commercial carpet cleaning chemical is an essential problem-solver for professional cleaners managing commercial office buildings and fire damage remediation projects.
Ideal For:
-
Commercial Office Buildings: Olefin is the most common fiber used in commercial carpet tiles. This prespray is specifically designed to restore these carpets to their original brightness by breaking the heavy bond of oily foot-traffic dirt.
-
Filtration Soiling Removal: Exceptionally effective at breaking down the stubborn, black atmospheric dust lines (filtration soiling) that commonly build up around air conditioning vents and skirting boards on synthetic carpets.
-
Fire Damage Remediation: The specialized oil-targeting chemistry aggressively suspends and removes heavy, oily soot and smoke contamination from synthetic fibers after fire events.
Key Features & Operational Benefits:
-
Olefin-Specific Soil Release: Formulated to counteract the oil-attracting nature of polypropylene fibers, breaking down greasy contamination at the molecular level for rapid, single-pass wand extraction.
-
Prevents Wick-Back & Greying: Thoroughly removes the heavy oils that standard cleaners leave behind, preventing the post-cleaning 'greying' effect and stopping deep stains from wicking back to the surface as the carpet dries.
-
Fiber-Conscious Chemistry (pH 10.5): Delivers the heavy-duty degreasing power of a high-pH stripper, but safely utilizes a controlled pH to prevent chemical burning and fiber degradation.
-
Double-Strength Economy: Highly concentrated for professional use; diluting at up to 1:64 in pump-up sprayers, ensuring exceptional cost-per-use value for large commercial contracts.
