KavarClean®KavarClean® and KavarWipe®: Products and Application
Gentle treatment and cleaning of chromium(VI)-contaminated metal surfaces as well as a chromate-inhibiting effect where substitution is not (yet) possible or is planned only for a later date.
An active ingredient system that reduces chromium(VI) and binds dust
KavarClean®Redox Powder produces a surface-friendly treatment solution. The system of an organic reducing agent and a complexing acid converts chromium(VI) into the less toxic chromium(III) and binds contaminated dust. The powder is mixed by the user and applied as a spray or in the KavarWipe® cloths.
It is intended as an aid for remediation and maintenance work and in the vehicle sector wherever substitution of the insulation material is not planned. It does not replace the risk assessment, the protective equipment or the substitution.

Preparing the KavarWipe® cleaning solution
Add water
Remove the lid and pour 2 l of clean water into the empty KavarWipe® bucket.
Add the powder
Add the entire 250 g of KavarClean® powder to the water and dissolve it completely.
Insert the cloth roll
Remove the protective packaging and place the complete roll upright in the bucket.
Soak for 15–20 minutes
Close the bucket and let it stand so that the cloths absorb the solution.
Thread the first cloth
Open the lid and pull the inner end of the roll through the central dispensing opening.
Close and use
Put the lid on firmly. The KavarWipe® cloths are ready to use.
Wrapping instead of spraying: binding dust before it is stirred up
By using the KavarWipe® cloths, the KavarClean® treatment method prevents the uncontrolled release of fiber dust caused by spray bursts while providing a gentle surface treatment.
Apply damp
The damp cloths bind the dust particles immediately during application and capture virtually all airborne contaminants.
Lightly re-moisten
After a short contact time, the cloths are lightly sprayed with the KavarClean® spray bottle to enhance the deep-acting chromium(VI) reduction.
No uncontrolled spraying
The application remains hand-moist. There are no spray shadows and no dripping into the surroundings.
Application on a removed component in the black area
In 18 steps, the film shows the procedure with material airlock and personnel airlock: covering the floor, workbench and personnel airlock, bringing the covered component in through the material airlock, placing damp KavarWipe® cloths on bolts and suspect surfaces, wrapping the cloths together with the absorbent underlay, re-spraying the return bag in the material airlock and disposing of protective suits and gloves through the disposal chute.

Reducing packaging material and handling disposal for you
Used cleaning cloths do not belong in residual waste. They go into the enclosed bags and are returned to Kavarmat® in the original carton for proper disposal. By-products and end products must not enter the sewer system without a protection concept.
- Delivery kit: bucket, cloth roll, two PE bags and cable ties
- Packing used cloths: close the bag with a cable tie
- Reuse the original carton
- Back to Kavarmat®: close the carton and return it for proper disposal
Regardless of the system chosen: full protective equipment
Under occupational safety regulations, complete protective clothing including nitrile gloves, respiratory protection and safety goggles is mandatory. You are working with carcinogenic and chronically environmentally harmful substances.
Anyone exposed to chromium(VI) compounds at the workplace is entitled to written information, to medical examinations before and after exposure and, for particularly dust-intensive activities involving carcinogenic substances, to entry in the exposure register, which the employer must keep for 40 years. Speak to your workshop manager, your occupational safety specialist or your employer.
