    Dispersant and marine cleaning concentrate.GREEN UNIKLEEN.

    We are please to introduce the water soluble, human safe, environmentally friendly solution toyou and to the industry, safe petroleum dispersant and marine cleaning concentrate GREEN

    UNIKLEEN.

    Green Unikleen offers the petroleum and marine industry and the associated transport andstorage companies an effective, economical solution for the cleanup of oil spill on land or inwater. With the increasing number of ship accidents that created oil spills through collision,explosion, and running aground, Green Unikleen offers an immediate and effective solution todisperse crude oil through lighter fuels. Furthermore Green Unikleen performs like no otherproduct and can be deployed rapidly and easily with no special equipment required.

    PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION

    Formulated for the petroleum industry as a dispersing and cleanup agent. Green Unikleen is anadvanced, space age cleaning concentration formulated for a wide range of applications.100% environmentally safe, non-flammable product capable of tackling spills on land and seaand cleans all types of equipment without irritation to the skin.

    Oil Dispersing Agent Detergent Liquid Soap Industrial Soap Multi-purpose Degreaser

    When diluted with water (fresh or salt) will clean or disperse crude produced by the burning oilof fossil fuels. Green Unikleen limits vaporization, thus reducing the risk of fire. There aremany dispersing agents that may accomplish the same result. However, these formulations maycontain materials such as flammable solvents, chemicals and kerosene, which produce toxic ornoxious vapors. Furthermore, with some treatments, contaminants sink to the bottom, causingadditional damage to microorganisms and marine life.

    This does not happen with Green Unikleen.

    General Characteristics

    Green Unikleen is a balanced blend of selected surfactants. It is a light green liquid with no odor Solubility in water is complete in all proportions. Exposure to skin causes no damage. Extended exposure may cause some drying. Product contact with the eye may result in minor irritation, similar to shampoo. This

    irritation disappears after rinsing with water. Oral toxicity is extremely low, with minor to no side effects. Marine life, wildlife, Microorganisms and resident bacteria can consume the organic ingredients with no ill effect.

    APPLICATIONSOil Spills

    When treating an oil spill with Green Unikleen, it can limit your liability and prevent additionaldetrimental effects to the environment. Applying Green Unikleen to an empty petroleum storagetank on land or aboard ship will aid in prevention of explosion and fire. When using the solution

    for cleaning bilge's and engine rooms, the risks of explosion and fires are greatly reduced.

    Extinguishing Petroleum-Based Fires

    The Green Unikleen solution is extremely effective. Solvent based cleaning solutions orproducts normally used aboard the ships, contains flammable substances that contribute to thefume building and increase fire potential. Green Unikleen contains no flammable product andretards explosion and fire by attacking the bonding agents and compounds thus reducing vaporsand gases produced by petroleum derivatives.

    Contaminated Underground Water Supplies

    This can be accomplished by injection of a solution of Green Unikleen into the contaminatedwaters and assist in the standard suction retrieval methods by allowing the undulating action ofthe changing water level in the system to aid in the cleanup process. One of the biggestproblems in this type of cleanup is the residual absorbed in the porous material of the canopy andtrapped in the pockets of the irregular surface. With the use of Green Unikleen, as it passes withthe water to these pockets it removes the petroleum captured there and acts in a wicking actionand draws out the contaminating product absorbed in the porous canopy.

    Contaminated Waterways, Vegetation, and Wildlife

    Avert the contamination of our beaches, wetlands, waterways and oceans, limiting the effects on

    the marine life, wildlife, vegetation and our food chain. Green Unikleen dispersed more than97% of each of the 16 crude oils and 6 refined products tested. Green Unikleen, was formulatedor quick, thorough lifting and suspension of contaminants, it is a visible melting effect upongrease or oil. We are positive that there is no other product on the market today that can be usedto clean marine life wildlife, and waterfowl, or do the job better, faster, safer or moreeconomically.

    IPAX GREEN UNIKLEEN CHALLENGES A LARGE SPILL.

    Oil Spill and Response at Sea. We believe that general, mechanical recovery ability at searemains limited in effectiveness and is expensive. Several were encouraged by growing emphasison dispersant use for responses at sea. Improved dispersant effectiveness, and greatly reducedtoxicity, has made dispersant use the most effective means of protecting sensitive resources formany large oil spills at sea. Dispersant use is widely accepted in many areas around the world,especially in Europe. Encouragingly, its acceptance is now improving in US; here dispersantshave recently been used on several spills in Gulf of Mexico.

    Using Green Unikleen as a strategy involves the use of chemicals to speed up the process ofnatural dispersion. The product when added to oil spill breaks up into small droplets forming thinemulsion which, disperses in the water column. In effect, they speed up the natural processes ofdispersion. In dispersed form the oil is subject to degradation by micro-organism, which occurnaturally in the sea. As a general rule, Green Unikleen, can be effective in dispersing most liquidoils and liquid water-in-oil emulsions with viscosities less than about 2000 centistokes.

    There are several Green Unikleen applications:Hand application (sprayer)By aircraft spray system (for example ADDS PACK)By spray system installed on ships and boats.
