Use and Maintenance of Neri Products 18/03/2019

INTENDED USE

The product has been manufactured in compliance with correct practice. Its duration and efficiency will be greater if used correctly and with regular maintenance operations. The product must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was designed. Any other use is considered inappropriate and potentially dangerous and the manufacturer will not be liable for damages stemming from inappropriate use.

 

MAINTENANCE:

SAFETY

Maintenance operations must be carried out by suitably trained expert personnel, with the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.

METHOD

Neri products are designed to guarantee reliability, endurance and safety.

The paint applied by Neri to its products is formed of an organic coating that must be cleaned and maintained regularly in order to guarantee its decorative and protective properties.

The normal maintenance of Neri products may be carried out with an appropriate cleaning product, followed by rinsing with clean water using a soft cloth.

If the coating is very dirty (e.g. due to lack of maintenance), it is recommended to consult a specialist company.

RECOMMENDED CLEANING PRODUCTS

Before carrying out any kind of cleaning, it is necessary to consult the data sheet of the detergent.

Normal maintenance may be carried out using water with a neutral detergent (pH 5-8).

If air pollution has caused a lot of build-up on the coating, there may be stains or marks that require the use of more aggressive household products, such as alcohol-based products, turpentine, white spirit or bleach (diluted to 5%). In this case, it is necessary to rinse the coating immediately after using the cleaning product. Abrasive detergents, varnishes and other detergents containing ketones and other detergents that may cause irreparable damage to the product must never be used.

 

FREQUENCY

The following table shows how often cleaning must be carried out:

Environment	Frequency of cleaning
Normal Urban industrial Moderate SO2 levels in coastal area with low salinity	12 months
Serious Industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity and SO2 levels > 30 mg / m3	6 months
