Surface Cleaner

AGmaster PREP is a surface cleaner developed to remove oil, dirt and other contaminants from steel or masonry prior to painting. It will work effectively on bare, painted or rusty metal. It is designed for use on anhydrous ammonia wagons, chemical storage tanks, agricultural equipment and concrete chemical containment systems.

By properly cleaning old painted surfaces with PREP, sanding and sandblasting may be eliminated. In addition, clean surfaces will ensure good coating adhesion and prevent premature coating failure.

PREP's superior cleaning ability and excellent rinsing characteristics make it economical and very easy to use. Its environmentally friendly formula is biodegradable and contains no solvents or phosphates.
