Soot Removal Film (SRF)

Cleaning affected surfaces is time-consuming but necessary.

In addition, SRF proves practical in real-world applications:

• Easy to Handle: Simply spray the liquid onto surfaces to sanitise and create a protective film.
• Efficient Coverage: Allows for quick spraying of large areas.
• Fast Drying: Typically dries within 1 to 24 hours, forming a solid film.
• Versatile Use: Effective against various types of heavy surface soiling, not just soot deposits.

At BELFOR, our soot removal film offers:

• Effective and Environmentally Friendly: Leaves no dust or residue.
• Prevents Soot Smearing: Unlike vacuuming, which can spread soot.
• Minimal Water Use: Binds acidic deposits without significant water use.
• Protects Surfaces: Prevents contaminants and chlorides from penetrating surfaces or materials.
• Reduces Need for Enclosures: Often eliminates the need for costly enclosures.
• Non-Destructive and Non-Corrosive: Safe for delicate materials.
• Encapsulates Contaminants: Safely disposes of contaminants, including mold spores.
• Ideal for Sensitive Environments: Perfect for heritage sites, artifacts, or delicate stonework that could be damaged by harsh chemicals.
• Efficient Waste Management: Requires no full wall drying and produces minimal aqueous waste along with small amounts of solid SRF waste.

Applying the Soot Removal Film

• The SRF is a yellowish, highly viscous dispersion typically sprayed onto the surface using a special machine due to its thick consistency.
• For smaller areas, you can also apply SRF with a soft brush.
• After application, the film requires 1 to 24 hours to dry, depending on the conditions.
• Higher temperatures and strong ventilation can speed up drying, while higher humidity may slow it down.
• Once dry, the film is ready to be stripped off.
• Lasting Cleaning Effect.
• The effectiveness of the cleaning varies based on the surface type and the extent of soiling.
• SRF works well on dry or slightly tarry surfaces like concrete, brick, stone, plaster (depending on its texture and structure), emulsion paint, and wood.
• In most cases, you can repaint the treated surfaces directly without additional prep work.
