AMBRA clean
AMBRA clean is an ecological, water-soluble cleaning concentrate,
which solves the particular contamination with fats and oils, thereby
allowing natural biological degradation.
AMBRA clean is
eco-friendly
fully bio-degradable
made from natural renewable resources
hypoallergenic
non-toxic to humans, animals and the environment

• water passes a coalescence separator being pumped to a

• suitable chemicals are added and the remaining oil is
separated completely
• the cleaning water from holds is contaminated with particles,
which are separated and pressed within a spiral sieve

What is AMBRA clean and how does it work?
AMBRA clean is an ecological, water-soluble
cleaning concentrate which has a much higher
cleaning power than other cleaning agents known so
far due to the new type of surfactants it contains.
The basic active agent made from natural renewable
resources is completely and easily biodegradable
(CO2 development test according to 67/548 EWG).
This means it thereby does not only lose its
surfactant effect but completely degrades into H2O
and CO2!

How surfactants work
Surfactants are surface active substances which,
when dissolved in water, enable the resulting
emulsion (surfactants plus water) to remove dirt from
surfaces (machines, floors, walls etc.) but also the
human skin, textiles or other solid material.
AMBRA clean removes dirt caused by animal,
vegetable, synthetic and mineral oil or fat.
It is the efficient, environmentally friendly cleaning
solution for commerce and industry.
If properly applied, the dirty water can be easily
disposed of in the sewage system after
cleaning.

Characteristics of AMBRA clean boat cleaner
AMBRA clean boat cleaner is suited for all washable, smooth and
shiny surfaces made of ceramics, metal, plastics and varnish.
Due to its high grease dissolving power it is particularly suited for
cleaning and degreasing engine, engine bay, tool cleaning,
degreasing, removal of oil stains and the daily maintenance
cleaning.
It easily and gently removes stubborn dirt like algas, yellow or
grey fog, mould stains, salt stains and much more without
attacking the surface or any material. Also, and in particular,
suited for cleaning the tarpaulin.
Also suited for cleaning under deck, the kitchen and bathroom
etc., as well as upholstery and carpets.
Usable as first-aid measure in case of fuel leaks.
In case of heating, no harmful substances are released.
General waste legislation applies.
