Precision Labs - Erase Spray System Cleaner - QT

Product Label Download SDS

Erase is a powerful spray system cleaner that exceeds the capabilities of ordinary tank cleaners. Erase emulsifies oily residues in sprayer lines and hoses while elevating rinsate pH to degrade vulnerable crop protection products. When used in conjunction with proper sprayer cleaning technique, Erase ensures more thorough clean-outs and reduced risk of cross contamination that leads to crop injury complaints, yield loss and a damaged reputation as a professional applicator.

CONTRIBUTORS TO CROSS-CONTAMINATION

• Many new herbicide formulations, like suspension concentrates, often have limited compatibility or easily settle out in sprayer lines and hoses. This leaves behind hard-to-remove residues that can lead to cross-contamination and crop injury.
• Increased use of tank mix partners can leave a build-up of oily residues in the spray system that ordinary tank cleaners can’t remove.
• More complex sprayers have more hiding places for residues that can lead to cross-contamination.
• Ordinary tank cleaners were designed over twenty years ago and are not capable of removing the residues left behind from the herbicide formulations and tank mixes used today. In fact, this may be the key reason why expensive crop injury complaints from cross-contamination are on the rise.

REDUCING THE RISK REQUIRES: 

• Preventing incompatibility problems through proper mixing technique
• The use of compatibility agents
• Good clean-out procedures 
• Using the best spray system cleaner technology available

Active Ingredient: Proprietary blend of alkalinity builders, emulsifiers, surfactants and formulation aids

For use on:

• For use in cleaning spray equipment used to apply pesticides registered for agricultural, forestry, industrial, municipal, noncropland, ornamental, rights-of-way, turf and other appropriate uses.

Pests Controlled

• None

Application

Use 2 QTS/100 GAL clean water. Addition of antifoam or defoamer may be useful in reducing foaming from the detergent system in Erase

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clean all tanks on a state-approved loading pad so rinsate can be collected and mixed into spray solution or into a dedicated rinsate tank. In-field clean-out, go to step 3.
2. Drain the spray tank as completely as possible. Loosen any visible deposits.
3. Conduct a pre-rinse by charging system with 100-200 gallons of clean water. Recirculate for 10 minutes and spray half of the rinsate through the nozzles.
4. Remove end-caps on boom sections and spray remaining 50-100 gallons through the booms.
5. Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and thoroughly clean separately in a bucket, using Erase as the cleaning agent. Allow to soak while completing the cleaning process.
6. Charge the system again with 100-200 gallons of clean water and the appropriate rate of Erase. Ensure agitation and carefully clean the interior of the tank using a 360° rotation nozzle or pressure sprayer. Recirculate for 15 minutes and spray half of the rinsate through the nozzle bodies and the other half through the spray boom sections until tank is empty.
7. Drain lines and pump. Dispose of rinsate according to product label and local, state and federal regulations.
8. Rinse nozzles, screens, strainers and end caps with clean water and reinstall.
9. Flush the system by adding 50–100 gallons of clean water to the tank. Recirculate though entire system. Flush solution through the boom, hoses and nozzles until tank is empty.
10. Drain the tank, lines and pump completely. Remove excess rinsate with a pump or dedicated wet/dry vacuum.
11. Repeat steps 6, 9 and 10 if necessary.
