Product Notes

Introduction :

The RXSOL ORG LOCO 20™ LocomotiveCleaner formulation was originally developed, not surprisingly, as a locomotive cleaner for the railroad industry. Locomotives are very difficult to clean and the railroads had not found a product that would satisfactorily clean them in brushless locomotive washing facilities.

RX Marine International’s task was not only to develop a product that could clean locomotives, but also to make the product work with a spray-on, rinse-off, “touchless” washing technique and to make the product environmentally friendly. There were other requirements on the railroads’ list, including that the cleaner not dull paint and that it be cost competitive with currently used hazardous rated products which were less than effective.

RX Marine International initially worked with the current conventional technology, which is based on very aggressive, highly caustic and acidic formulation. We improved these formulas, but did not achieve our objectives. After extensive research and development, we developed an entirely new chemical approach that proved successful, and RXSOL ORG LOCO 20™ Locomotive Cleaner was born. Finally we had a cleaner that performed extremely well at removing the difficult residue found on active locomotives, that was environmentally friendly and could be marketed at a reasonable cost. Further testing indicated that Locomotive Cleaner would make an outstanding general purpose cleaner and degreaser. RXSOL ORG LOCO 20™ Locomotive Cleaner was tested on garage and warehouse floors, automobile engines, trucks, exhaust stacks, shower stalls, carpets, battery terminals, clothing, and many other applications. The results indicated that Locomotive Cleaner did a much better job than the leading brands on the market.
