COTTOSOLV is a highly concentrated alkaline-based degreaser that is highly recommended for stripping wax, resin, polymers, and other treatments, even when stubborn and hard to remove. COTTOSOLV thanks to its special formula is extremely effective when it comes to removing natural organic or synthetic polymers and therefore to restore the original appearance of any type of floor covering.
COTTOSOLV as well as being extremely effective on organic polymers is also a particularly powerful means to remove dark oxidation marks, algae, mold, and efflorescence from Cotto, terracotta, or absorbent materials in general. COTTOSOLV is a solution that can remove suction cup marks from ceramic surfaces, caused by processing and handling in industrial environments.
COTTOSOLV is a product that as well as being suitable for use on its own, is often used together with DEC 21 solvent-based wax remover for a full, deep wax removing action, known as “double wax stripping” Double wax stripping is an operation developed especially to remove any organic compound or residue from a surface, such as wax, resin or previous treatments, for example, or even layers or stains of oily dirt.
Suitable for:
✓ Excellent wax-stripping power
✓ Efficiently removes existing waxes or treatments
✓ Ideal for deep cleaning of trafficable areas
✓ Also suitable for synthetic floor coverings.
✓ Effective on plant efflorescence, algae, mold, and oxidation
✓ Can be used with solvent-based wax removers and for “double wax stripping”
Cloth, mop, single-disc machine
The product can be used undiluted or it can be diluted in clean water, according to the amount of dirt that needs to be removed:- If used as a final stage in the double wax stripping process, or when dissolving particularly stubborn resin, wax, or polymers, then the product should be diluted to 50%. When used on absorbent materials, such as cotto or concrete, the product can be used undiluted.
- If used for a strong degreasing action to remove large amounts of stubborn residues, or for worksite cleaning on acid-sensitive materials, the product needs to be diluted to 20-30% in water (1 part product to 2-4 parts water).
- If used as a simple degreaser to periodically clean a floor, the product needs to be diluted to 10% (1 part product to 9 parts water).
Apply the product in the selected dilution ratio to the surface, covering the whole area being cleaned and distributing it evenly and vigorously with a single-disc machine or large brush.
Leave the product to work for about 10-15 minutes, helping its dissolving action by passing over with a single-disc machine or large brush at more or less regular time intervals, according to the difficulty in removing the residues that need to be dissolved. This will boost the dissolving action of the product and give you better results.
When applied to particularly absorbent surfaces, while working with the product, it may be necessary to pour some more onto the surface, to compensate for the product absorbed by the material. For the best possible results, the surface needs to be completely covered by a fine layer of product throughout the treatment. This operation can be carried out using a more or less abrasive disc or brush, to be selected according to the type of material.
Once the said time has passed, remove the residues. Pour a sufficient amount of clean water onto the surface to form an emulsion with the solution on the floor; distribute this evenly with the single-disc machine or brush, and then remove any excess. This operation is best performed with a liquid vacuum cleaner, although alternatively, the excess liquid can be absorbed with cloths or absorbent paper towels.
After removing the residues, rinse the surface thoroughly using clean water. If the results are not completely satisfying, repeat the operation, following the steps above.
After rinsing the surface with water, the floor can be opened for use as soon as it is dry. When applying the treatment again, it is necessary to wait for the surface to be completely dry, all the way through. The amount of time for this will vary according to the type and absorption level of the material.
Before proceeding to wash the surface with DEC 21, it is advisable to clean away any surface residues, such as dust, debris, and coarse dirt, using a broom or a vacuum cleaner,
We recommend treating small areas of the surface at a time. The size of the area to be treated individually should be decided according to the absorption level of the material. When applying to highly absorbent surfaces, such as terracotta, for example, it is necessary to work on an area of no more than about 4-5 sq. m, to ensure that the product does not penetrate the surface completely, which would prevent it from carrying out its function. When applying to low-absorption surfaces, such as polished natural stone, example, or stoneware or ceramic tiles, the treated area may be larger, according to the requirements of the operator.
• DEC 21 is used undiluted
• Apply the undiluted DEC 21 to the surface, covering the whole area being cleaned and distributing it evenly and vigorously with a single-disc machine or large brush.
• Leave the DEC 21 to work for about 10-15 minutes, helping its dissolving action by passing over with a single-disc machine or large brush at more or less regular time intervals, according to the difficulty in removing the residues that need to be dissolved. This will boost the dissolving action of the product and give you better results.

For the best possible results, the surface needs to be completely covered by a fine layer of product throughout the treatment.
• This operation can be carried out using a more or less abrasive disc or brush, to be selected according to the type of material and the type of dirt or treatment being removed. Green discs are normally used for wax stripping operations.
• After the above time, proceed to apply the COTTOSOLV, which needs to be used undiluted on absorbent materials such as concrete or Cotto, while on non-absorbent materials such as porcelain stoneware and ceramics, it needs to be diluted to 50% in water.Apply the COTTOSOLV to the surface - undiluted or diluted according to the instructions above - covering the whole area already covered with DEC 21 and distributing it evenly and vigorously with a single-disc machine or large brush.

• Before applying the product to the whole surface, it is advisable to test a small, unexposed area or unused piece to check its suitability for use.
• When applying to recently laid or grouted surfaces, wait for the adhesive or grout to cure completely.
• Do not mix with other chemical compounds unless this is expressly indicated, such as in the case of double wax stripping as described above.
• If the finished result is not satisfactory, repeat the process as described above.
