productdescription

The akawipe dry cleaning powders are very finely ground, cross-linked native oils combined with specially selected additives. A sulfur-free and chlorine-free cross-linked castor oil is utilized for the white versions of akawipe. The powders absorb impurities such as dust or soot very well.

For akawipe white, special cross-linked native oils are employed in combination with individually selected additives.

areas of application

akawipe is a special development for dry cleaning and removing soot from:

  • Historic writings
  • Documents
  • Technical drawings
  • Books
  • Textiles

recommendedapplication

Disperse the akawipe on the object to be cleaned and, wearing a cloth glove, rub the powder over the surface until it has absorbed the dirt. For thin surfaces lying flat, a rotary sander with soft felt discs may be utilized at a slow speed after careful testing. However, one must be cautious not to apply too much pressure.

During the cleaning work, new powder should be inserted at regular intervals, as soon as the dirt-absorption capacity has been reached.

Note: It is critical that the surfaces to be cleaned are completely dry and do not exhibit any bleeding or chalking effects.
