ANEST IWATA Booth treatment agent
ANEST IWATA Booth Treatment Agent.
To prevent the paint collected by the booth from adhering to the booth interior (make the paint incohesive), the agent aggregates sludge to make it easy to remove.

Caution on Bubble Release
 When fast drying, powder, or soluble paint is used, water may overflow from the water tank as it releases bubbles. This causes a phenomenon such as ripples, eliminator clogging, or rising water level, resulting in degraded performance. Suppress bubble release by removing sludge frequently or using an antifoam agent.

About pH Control
 The treatment agent makes water alkaline to slow the corrosion process of the water tank and other components. However, if the acidity of the paint used is high, it cannot be neutralized with the treatment agent alone. In that case, an alkaline agent needs to be used separately.

Usage Method (SK-410)
Initial Use
 The following table shows the amount of agent to be used for the first time or
after water has been replaced.

Situation Water Condition Usage Amount pH Adjustment
New booth or after water replacement Clean water 0.03% of the water amount
(for every ton of water → 0.3 kg)
Not necessary※3
After treatment agent change Sludge is remaining.
The previous treatment agent is remaining.
0.1% to 0.3% of the water amount * 2
(for every ton of water → 1 kg to 3 kg)

※2 Put the treatment agent little by little while checking the sludge condition and bubble release condition. In the case of a soluble paint, putting a large amount of agent (about 1 kg) at once can have an aggregation effect. Since this powerful aggregation effect generates a large amount of sludge, care needs to be taken about the filtering net becoming clogged.

※3 Basically, pH adjustment is not necessary. However, if the acidity of the paint used is pH7 or less, or if the acidity of the booth water is pH7 or less due to the previously used treatment agent remaining, adjust the pH level to prevent the corrosion of the booth, by adding a commercially available sodium hydroxide solution (pH adjustment agent) little by little while paying attention to bubble release.


Daily Use
 The following table describes the items of daily management. The basic information is provided here; make necessary adjustments based on the sludge condition.
1. Put the treatment agent in installments (morning and noon) for effectively
    making the paint incohesive.
2. Put a large amount of agent at the end of work (evening) for easy sludge collection.

 

Item Description
Usage
Amount
Put an amount of agent equivalent to 1 to 3% of the amount
of paint used in installments as shown below. ※4
Usage
Method
Divide the amount of agent to be put per day as follows.

Morning : At the start of work : 1/4 of the total amount
Noon : After lunch break : 1/4 of the total amount
Evening : At the end of work : 1/2 of the total amount

pH Check While pH adjustment is not necessary, the pH level needs to be checked. ※5

※4 In the case of a soluble paint, putting a large amount of agent (about 1 kg) at once can have an aggregation effect. When you wish to separate and collect sludge without using the treatment agent daily, it is recommended to add a sufficient amount of Sludge Killer for the accumulated sludge at once. Since the powerful aggregation effect generates a large amount of sludge, care needs to be taken about the filtering net becoming clogged.

※5 Basically, pH adjustment is not necessary. However, if a highly acid paint is used, adjust the pH level to prevent the corrosion of the booth, by adding a commercially available sodium hydroxide solution (pH adjustment agent).
