Products and
procedures
Gotar technology is made up of two independent
but complementary families of products. The first group consists
of products for dissolving ferrous or non-ferrous oxidation
and lime deposits. The second group features degreasers, decarburants,
and emulsifiers for organic materials and synthetic and greases
fluids. When more than one type of contamination is present
in the same system, different products from the two groups can
be used following strict guidelines.
Gotar has standardized application methods and
offers technical support as well as laboratory services which
enable the development of customer adapted solutions. Applications
or solutions can be performed in-house or by certified contractors.
Gotar provides the necessary guidelines for the correct use
of its products.
Deoxidizers / Descalers
This product deoxidizes, descales, and decarburizes
steel, copper alloys, iron, and other noble alloys. It dissolves
both ferrous and non-ferrous oxidation, corrosion, and lime.
Similar to Gotar-D, but designed specifically
for treating light metals such as aluminum, magnesium, or tin
alloys.
This product is specifically formulated
for the passivation process. It removes contamination from stainless
steel surfaces.
Degreasers / Emulsifiers
Degreaser and emulsifier of organic material
(algae, mud, silt) in heat exchange systems. This versatile
product eliminates most contamination, both mineral and organic.
This product is often used before Gotar-D
to increase effectiveness and ensure the perfect clean.
Specially designed to clean deposits of synthetic
lubricants and oil residues caused by friction.
Similar to Gotar-DGS, but designed to treat
the surfaces of light metals, for instance the particular metals
used in the aerospace industries (aluminum alloys, magnesium
alloys, etc.)
Note : Gotar products come in liquid form. Certain
products are also available as a gel or semi-gel for application
on vertical surfaces.
Good for business
"This product is truly
worth every dollar!" This enthusiastic statement
by the maintenance manager at a co-generation plant sums up
perfectly the impact of Gotar technology in terms of direct
and indirect costs, both in the immediate and over the long
term. In general, the following results may be observed: significant
production gains, increased equipment lifecycle, less downtime,
lower maintenance costs, reduction in level of risk, and other
industry-specific advantages.
General comparisons of monetary and time
costs associated with the use of traditional acids, mechanical
cleaning, and Gotar technology.
Good for efficiency
One of the most amazing benefits of Gotar technology
is the consistently high performance standards at which equipment
can be maintained, with a corresponding reduction in maintenance
time and replacement parts. As we have seen, traditional acid
cleaning can leave contamination in the system, thus allowing
it to reform quickly, requiring more frequent cleanings which
make the system less and less efficient. This causes lower equipment
performance. In addition, the highly corrosive acids often cause
the need for premature replacement of parts. On the other hand,
Gotar products practically return the equipment to its original
mint condition.

Good for management
The complete horizon of all the benefits
of Gotar technology includes ideas as diverse as the optimization
of materials and human resources, workplace safety, compliance
with environmental regulations, the public image of the company,
and many other key management issues.
For the manager, Gotar technology can be
summed up with three essential words:
simplicity, reliability, and productivity.
Biodegradability and non-toxicity : The proofs
GOTAR Technologies Corporation proposes ecological and efficient solutions
to maintenance problems in the industry. Following our mission, we
are proud to be able to provide our customers with means to protect the
environment by offering them products that are at the same time extremely
efficient, biodegradable and non-toxic. Some of our product are even
considered bioavailable as they are in themselves an autonomous source
of all the nutrients that will facilitate their elimination by bacterias
and will biodegrade almost completely within 28 days.
When we say that Gotar products are biodegradable and non-toxic, we
have scientific proof that backs it up. Tests made in laboratories
in Canada and the United States have proven beyond any doubt what we are
saying. In the next pages you will see the results of some of the
tests performed by Springborn Laboratories Inc, one of the best known companies
in the area of chemical analysis in the United States on the Gotar-D and
Gotar-DG.
