ENCAPSULATION

Our American counterparts have much positive and profitable talk regarding this semi-confusing process. I personally have heard and read some good things about it. As usual we Canadians let our southern partners go through the trials and tribulations before we get over-enthused.  Personally I am warming up to this process.

Many manufacturers  have jumped in and are now making Encapsulation equipment. Now the chemical plays a big part in this process also. And I am waiting for the Giant CHEMSPEC to nail it down and come out with the best and better than the rest. A reputation they seem to hold. In the meantime my impatience has forced me to order an interim ENCAPSULATION product. See below.

KK is ready to show you some stuff, talk to us about it. The worst it could do is make you money.

What cleaners are saying about Encapsulation:

We started cleaning a library with the encapsulation in December. Carpet stays cleaner longer and the facilities manager has stated that the dusting frequency has also decreased. I would have predicted the opposite. Where does the dirt go? Good question. Many tests (quite unscientific I might add)  have been done by users of this process and almost nobody has found any significant accummulation of crystalline substance on the post vaccuuming the day after. The success is supposed to lie in the regular vaccuuming by the cleaning staff and that the dirt is being removed bit by bit with each vaccuuming. I spoke to one of the leading manufacturers of carpet protectors chemists at length this week. I put forward the hypothesis that the polymers in the chemistry of the encapsulant are actually filling the gouches and scratches of the fiber and that is the reason the uglied out carpets look progressively better. He says that this is a possibility. I believe that the chemistry does breakdown the physical forces that bind the dirt to fiber. (Vanderwal forces ? sp) Of course the increased surface energy is the reason the carpets are easier to vacuum and therefore stay cleaner longer. All I can say is that everyone of the dozens of naysayers I have heard of in North America who have  finally tried the process has been amazed at the results of this process. This includes myself.

Concentrated 6-in-1 Carpet Cleaning Crystal

Hydroxi Pro Carpet Cleaning Crystal combines the cleaning and deodorizing power of Hydrogen Peroxide with the anti-resoiling capabilities of a crystallizing polymer. This unique formulation helps reduce contamination associated with indoor pollution without the build-up of sticky residue or high V.O.C. solvents. The result is a process that leaves your carpet cleaner than ever and fights resoiling by encapsulating residual cleaning agents and soils in a hard, brittle polymer.

• 3000 sq. ft. per hour with one man at 5cents per sq. ft. = $150.00 per hour.
• Chemical cost per hour from 3 to 5 dollars.

Keep in mind this process is best suited for industrial and commercial applications. And best results if dry vacuuming or pile lifting is performed prior to Encap.
