RACINE, Wis., Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Modine
Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD), a diversified global leader in
thermal management technology and solutions, announced today their
collaboration with RectorSeal®, Houston, a leading manufacturer of quality
HVAC/R tools and accessories, to introduce GulfClean™, the
industry's only two-step coil cleaner and salt reducer application
for protecting coastal area residential and commercial HVAC
equipment and their factory-applied coil coatings.
GulfClean was developed by RectorSeal, who is also the exclusive
distributor of GulfClean, in partnership with the Coatings division
of Modine Manufacturing Company's Commercial and Industrial
Solutions (CIS) business unit ("Modine Coatings"). Modine Coatings
is the industry leader in the application of corrosion-resistant
coatings on HVAC/R coils and units and GulfClean was developed to
meet Modine Coatings' exacting specifications.
Modine Coatings now authorizes and mandates GulfClean
applications every six months to coils and units treated with its
ElectroFin® E-Coat or Insitu® Spray
Applied Coating to maintain the coatings' five-year warranties. The
two-step GulfClean process is also safe and recommended for
maintaining most manufacturer's coils and coatings from salt
corrosion.
GulfClean's Step-1 Coil Cleaner and Step-2 Salt Reducer are each
manufactured by RectorSeal at its Houston-based chemical plant for quality
control and are available in one-gallon (3.76-liters) containers
from most HVAC/R wholesale distributors. Each step requires less
than 10 minutes to apply and rinse.
GulfClean Coil Cleaner is an environmentally-friendly,
biodegradable, non-acid and non-caustic foaming cleaner that
attacks dirt and salt, but is safe for evaporator, condenser and
refrigeration coil metals and coatings, as well as the service
technician applying it. The straw-colored solution is typically
diluted with one to three parts water (depending on coil soiling),
applied with a hand pump-up sprayer and rinsed with water.
GulfClean Coil Cleaner is an excellent cleaning preparation for
contractors prior to applying Modine's GulfCoat Do-It-Yourself
(DIY) coil coatings on new HVAC units.
GulfClean Salt Reducer is a biodegradable, non-hazardous,
non-flammable and volatile organic compound (VOC)-free solution
that's safe for removing soluble salts without affecting coating
adhesion on coated evaporator and condenser coils. Manufactured in
a blue color to differentiate from the cleaner, the salt reducer is
typically diluted in a 50:1 to 100:1 ratio (depending on unit
proximity to coasts) and applied with a hand pump-up sprayer and
rinsed within 10 minutes. GulfClean Salt Reducer will not
chemically attach or corrode coils, surrounding metal, other HVAC
equipment components or adjacent roofing materials.
Other GulfClean features include:
- GulfClean can be applied to packaged and split-system outdoor
unit coils.
- Steps 1 and 2 are available to wholesale distributors in cases
of 4, one-gallon containers and have shelf lives of two and three
years, respectively.
