DESCRIPTION

SP PROTEC RAIL is a mixture of selected ingredients designed to protect locomotive radiators and closed water boiler systems.  It minimizes scale buildup in radiators and boilers and protects all metals from oxidation (corrosion).  It contains a built in indicator that changes from pink to clear when the inhibitors in the product are used up.  This indicates that the solution should be changed or product added.

Locomotive Site/Glass (When charged with Protec Rail Solutions is Red, when clear, system needs to be charged with Proptec Rail. 

Treated Solution  	When solution is clear, which indicates low pH, Protec Sticks should be added

     PROPERTIES

Appearance:						Clear red liquid
pH concentrate:					12.6 +/-			  
Specific Gravity:					1.23

Use Instructions
Normal dosage is 1 gallon per 100 gallons of system water. Bring the initial charge to 1500 ppm of nitrite, as determined with the test kit. Titrate daily (recording results) for first four days after installing SP PROTEC RAIL treatment to ensure against loss due to undisclosed leaks.

Maintain nitrite level at 1200 ppm or higher. Water containing more than 150 ppm of chlorides or sulfates or more than 300
ppm of hardness will require at least 1500 ppm of nitrite. 

Note: If nitrite value is difficult to maintain over time, consult a Solutions Plus Water Treatment Specialist.
Dispensing
The SP PROTEC RAIL product is added to closed system recirculating water by pumping directly from its shipping container or by means of a bypass feeder. Most systems require very small and infrequent additions of the SP PROTEC RAIL product. Since water makeup is minimal, automatic feeding is impractical.

See your Solutions Plus Representative for specific equipment recommendations for your system.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Use at 1% to 2% by volume in systems.
 Add SP PROTEC RAIL when the pink color disappears.  

STORAGE
Keep from freezing.  If frozen, thaw and mix to make usable.
