Description
GreenClean Pro Hard Surface Algae Remover
Active substances: Nonanoic acid
The active substance in GreenClean Pro, nonanoic acid, helps to remove algae and green material from hard surfaces by the destruction of cell membranes, preventing photosynthesis and other physiological processes. The results can be visible after only a few hours and are long lasting with some surfaces remaining free from algae for a number of months.
Unlike other de-greening chemicals which require large volumes of product and water, GreenClean Pro can be applied at low water volumes. In fact, just one litre of GreenClean Pro mixed with water will treat well over 500 m2 in just one 15 litre knapsack.
GreenClean Pro can be used twice per year at a rate of 1.8ml/m2 or 18l/ha.

FAQs
GreenClean Pro is a professional-use biocidal algaecide containing nonanoic acid as the active ingredient. It is effective in removing algae and other green deposits from various hard surfaces.
GreenClean Pro is suitable for use on various outdoor hard surfaces, including:
- Buildings and building materials
- Drives, paths, and pavements
- Roofs (excluding thatched roofs)

Nonanoic acid, the active ingredient, destroys cell membranes of algae, preventing photosynthesis and other essential physiological processes. This leads to desiccation and removal of the algae.
Dilute: Mix 1.8 mL of GreenCleanPro per square meter of surface area with water to achieve a total spray volume of 30-50 mL per square meter.
Apply: Spray the diluted solution directly onto the affected surface using a hand-held, low-pressure sprayer (3 bar or below).
Clean equipment: Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with water after application.
