Quick guide to a professional-grade resin remover that works in scrubber-dryer machines or by hand
The Sport Resin Remover (F 8.10) is a high-performance, water-based degreaser formulated to dissolve and lift cured resin deposits from lacquered wooden floors and vinyl surfaces commonly found in sports halls. Designed as an alkaline concentrate, this product targets sticky residues without mechanical abrasion when used correctly.
It is intended for professional use and can be applied with a machine or by manual methods depending on the scale of the job and the condition of the flooring. For complex maintenance programs consult the dedicated cleaning and maintenance guide G 8.0 for hardwood sports floors.
Because it is a concentrated formulation, the remover must be diluted and handled according to the technical data below. The product’s fast action and strong solvency make it particularly effective for routine maintenance and periodic deep cleaning where resin residues interfere with traction and aesthetics.
The formulation balances powerful cleaning with the need to protect lacquer layers when applied as directed; always test in a discreet area before widespread application to verify compatibility with the specific floor finish.
Product overview and intended use
The Sport Resin Remover is supplied as a 5-litre alkaline concentrate intended for professional cleaning teams and facility managers. As a specialty degreaser it excels at removing spilled adhesives, tape residue and other sticky deposits that standard cleaners struggle to dissolve. It works rapidly and is suitable for both lacquered wooden floors and resilient vinyl sports floors, where residues can compromise grip and surface appearance. Application can be performed with either mechanical equipment or manual tools depending on the operator’s preference and the extent of build-up.
Recommended environments
Use this product in indoor sports environments such as gymnasiums, multipurpose halls and indoor courts. It is especially useful during stadium maintenance windows, seasonal deep cleaning or after events where adhesives and spilled substances are common. The product’s formulation is intended for areas where floor protection and rapid restoration of playing qualities are required. As an operational note, this remover is recommended for professional teams familiar with handling alkaline cleaning concentrates and appropriate equipment like scrubber-dryer machines.
Composition and technical specifications
The remover is an aqueous concentrate composed of widely used alkaline and surfactant components. Key ingredients include water (CAS No. 7732-18-5), sodium hydroxide (CAS No. 1310-73-2), potassium hydroxide (CAS No. 1310-58-3), and disodium metasilicate (CAS No. 6834-92-0). It also contains chelating and surfactant agents listed as trisodium dicarboxymethyl alaninate (CAS No. 164462-16-2), lauryl glucoside (CAS No. 110615-47-9), and decyl glucoside (CAS No. 68515-73-1). This balance of alkali and non-ionic surfactants provides strong solvency while promoting rinsability.
Mixing, pH and coverage
Mix the concentrate at a ratio of 1 part to 10 parts water for general cleaning; this dilution produces a usable working solution with a pH around 13. The undiluted concentrate measures a pH of 14, reflecting its alkaline nature and the need for careful handling. Expected coverage for the diluted product is approximately 25–30 m² per litre. Before use, always shake well to ensure homogeneity. For heavily soiled areas, spot treatment or slightly stronger dilutions may be used with caution and prior testing.
Application methods, packaging and safety
Application can be carried out with a cloth, an atomizer or a floor washing machine. For large areas, operate with a scrubber-dryer machine to combine mechanical action and extraction, following the machine manufacturer’s guidance and the flooring care recommendations in guide G 8.0. Manual cleaning is appropriate for small patches or delicate zones; spot application is also possible when only localized residue removal is required. Always rinse thoroughly after treatment where necessary to remove alkaline residues.
The product is supplied in 5-litre containers and, if unopened, can be stored for up to 2 years at 20 °C. Do not expose the product to temperatures below 0 °C. Given the high alkalinity, observe recommended precautions: wear appropriate PPE, avoid skin and eye contact, and follow local waste disposal regulations. The remover is intended for professional use only—ensure operators are trained in handling concentrated alkaline cleaners and that material safety data sheets are available on site.
In summary, Sport Resin Remover F 8.10 is a concentrated, alkaline water-based degreaser tailored to restore and maintain the performance of lacquered wooden and vinyl sports floors. With the correct dilution, application technique and safety measures, it reliably removes stubborn resin residues while preserving the integrity of the floor finish. For full maintenance protocols and machine settings consult the cleaning and maintenance guide G 8.0 before large-scale use.
