OT8 FC
Biological Industrial Floor Cleaner
How do Biological Oil Stain Removers work?
Our biological oil stain removing products, including OT8 FC, contain specially selected bacteria which digest the oil stain and grease.
While the food source − ie ‘oil stain’ − is present, the bacteria keep on working and continue to do so until it’s all gone!
For the biological cleaning of oil stains to be effective, it requires:
- Food source for the bacteria to digest, i.e. the 'oil stain'
- Warm conditions
- Moist conditions
- Oxygen
- The correct bacteria
On the basis that the first four conditions are in place, the bacteria selected for use in our products will digest oil stains - from light oils to heavy crude.
The bacteria used in our products are Euro Type 1 (safe for long term laboratory application and safe for long term general public exposure).
Please note: speed of oil digestion is temperature dependent. At an ambient temperature of 15°C, we would expect the full digestion process to take 4-6 weeks. For every 10°C above or below this temperature, the speed of digestion increase or decrease by 50% i.e. at an ambient temperature of 25°C digestion time of 2-3 weeks would be typical.

Benefits
Effective and long-lasting cleaning
- OT8 FC contains a combination of liquid enzymes, bacteria and biodegradable cleaning surfactants.
- Deep-cleans floors immediately by removing the oil and grease that collect on the floor surface.
- Enhances long lasting cleaning effects by degrading residual organics after cleaning is complete.
Advanced cleaning technology
- Both emulsion free and biologically enhanced, OT8 FC enables bacteria and enzymes to significantly reduce oil discharges to the environment.
Sustainable cleaning solution
- OT8 FC offers an innovative biodegradable, biological and separator friendly solution that reduces the environmental impact and user safety of cleaning chemicals.
Where to Use
- Designed for cleaning of oil contaminated floors.
- Not suitable for use on tarmac or asphalt - use Bio TA.
How to Use
- Shake before use (to put bacteria into suspension).
- Water wet the oil stain before applying.
- Brush into the stain into the stain until OT8 FC changes colour (from white to brown) with a firm brush.
- Leave for 10−15 minutes and rinse clean.
Dilute to between 4−8% for use by floor cleaning machine, pressure washer or manual application.
