The device, which demonstrates its effectiveness particularly in food-related industries such as oils and fats, meat processing, and prepared food factories, combines a chlorine drip system with a mechanical ceramic system. When chlorinated municipal or well water passes through the mechanical ceramic system using ferrite-based ceramic catalysts, it produces hypochlorous acid (HCLO), which has strong oxidative power. By stirring the wastewater tank, oxidation and interfacial action of the oil components in the wastewater occur, reducing the oil content and bringing the normal hexane extract to below 10%. Nitrogen and phosphorus are also removed, and sludge is reduced, eliminating the need for conventional processes such as coagulation and sludge dewatering, thereby simplifying operations. Since it can be integrated into existing wastewater and pollution control systems, significant cost reductions are possible. **Features** - Generates hypochlorous acid (HCLO) with strong oxidative power - Reduces normal hexane extract to below 10% - Removes nitrogen and phosphorus, and reduces sludge - Eliminates cumbersome tasks, simplifying operations - Easily integrates into existing wastewater and pollution control systems *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The reasons for the recommendation are the following benefits for users: 1) It penetrates and chemically bonds with water-absorbing substrates such as concrete, retaining walls, natural stone, plaster, and gypsum board. 2) Due to its breathability, moisture from within the substrate can pass through and be released from the porous paint surface, preventing blistering and peeling. 3) With a lifespan of over 40 years, it reduces repainting costs and increases the added value of the building. 4) Users can choose from over 200 color variations, including design clear colors and textured finishes, with the dilution rate also being adjustable in a continuous range.

• Natural paints (water-based, ink, etc.)

Kaimu paint allows "water glass" to penetrate the substrate, triggering a chemical reaction that "integrates" with it, enhancing the unique texture of the substrate while providing a rich palette of over 200 colors. This results in strong resistance to ultraviolet rays, pollutants, and the proliferation of mold and moss. By applying a clear color finish, especially on concrete (also applicable to brick, plaster, mortar, etc.), it protects the concrete from weathering and prevents erosion from intense external air pollutants. The surface of the concrete retains the feel of the formwork boards completely. The concrete surface will have a mineral matte finish. By using a dedicated thinner (Kaimu Concretal Fixative or Kaimu Concretal Base AP), a variety of dilution rates can achieve lighter color finishes. Additionally, visual defects such as dirt and color tone differences can be offset. Kaimu Concretal Raswa can finish interior exposed concrete walls and exterior concrete surfaces with a light color that maintains the original texture.
