Important Notice: Proper Use of pHaragent with Oxypar LR or SuperPar
 
When using Oxypar LR or SuperPar on their own (i.e., outside the REACT|EXTRACT procedure with OxyPrep), pHaragent plays a key role by converting these acid-based, shelf-stable hydrogen peroxide cleaners into activated, alkaline-powered solutions. However, it’s important to use pHaragent correctly, as excessive amounts can lead to undesirable effects.
 
Why It Matters:
Overuse of pHaragent can cause:
 
Excessive Foaming
– Leads to cavitation in spray equipment, where excess air prevents proper liquid flow, stopping your ability to spray.
– Requires additional cleanup, increasing labor time and cost.
– Causes premature activation of Oxypar or SuperPar, wasting the product’s most powerful effects before it contacts the surface and soil load.
 
What We Found:
Lab testing and field reports confirmed that excessive foaming begins when the solution’s pH exceeds 9.8.
 
Recommended Mixing Ratio:
To avoid this, do not exceed 8 ounces (1 cup) of pHaragent per 1 ready-to-use gallon of Oxypar LR or SuperPar. This ratio keeps the pH below the 9.8 threshold and ensures optimal performance.
 
By following this guideline, you protect your equipment, improve cleaning effectiveness, and reduce unnecessary labor.
