Properties:

The dry cleaning pad consists of a blue grip and a yellow active layer (or lighter colored for akapad white) which is attached as a foam. The cleaning process is effective and gentle, since the active agent is always visible and thus can always be checked. This prevents the surface from being damaged.
akapad continuously “cleans itself ” through gradual disintegration/crumbling. This enables a cleaning process free of stripes, streaks and clouding.

In October 2001, the independent "Instituut Collectie Nederland", Amsterdam, examined the product akapad white, which was still marketed under the product name wishab special sponge at the time of the study, with regard to residues and ageing resistance during paper cleaning. The following statement could be made:
"No residues remain on papers that have been treated with the sponge and then shaken and brushed off. Therefore, no negative reaction with the paper can take place."

Areas of application:
akapad enables the safe and efficient dry cleaning of surfaces such as:

• Murals and architecturals surfaces
• Light and hard plaster
• Marble, granite, sandstone
• Books, papers and wallpapers
• Textiles and leather
• Paintings
• Wooden Objects
• Metals
• Plastics

Recommended application:
Hold the akapad by the blue grip and rub the side with the active substance over the surface that is to be cleaned until dirt-saturated particles form. For smooth surfaces, spread out the sponge in order to increase the formation of these particles. The blue part is solely intended to serve as a grip and should not be used for cleaning. The akapad white fl exible may also be cut into strips if necessary and can be shaped into a spherical form for better handling.

Technical data:

• Materials: the akapads are mechanically molded in a special process using pressurized air. In addition to synthetic latex, cross-linked canola oil and/or castor oil also serve as a raw material otherwise known as factice. A special chlorine-free and sulfur-free factice is utilized for the production of white akapads.
• Dimensions: 90 x 67 x 42 mm
• pH-value: neutral
• Shelf life: 2 years sealed in original packaging
• Precautionary measures for the product: none required
• Precautionary measures for application: varying depending on the degree of soiling and the condition of the surface to be cleaned.
• Disposal: no special procedure is required for disposing the product remains. For the substances absorbed during usage, the relevant legal requirements must be adhered to.

Product range:
The non-abrasive akapad product line “classic” (yellow) is available in four degrees of hardness – soft, hard, extra hard and ultra hard.
Together with the special products in the akapad product line “sensitive” – akapad white hard, white soft, white flexible and white pure – these dry cleaning sponges provide optimal results for every kind of surface.
