BBJ Environmental Technologies, Inc. today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Patent on BBJ’s Power Coil Clean formula. The patented formula includes 15 claims as it relates to aqueous cleaning compositions in which the pH can be adjusted to provide efficient cleaning and unique safety for the user and the surface to be treated.

BBJ’s Power Coil Clean provides the safest and strongest cleaning available to remove the most stubborn soils and dirt deposits found on various HVAC/R (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration) components as well as all other surfaces.

CEO Bob Baker comments that, “Power Coil Clean cleans like acid cleaners without the hazards. There are no harmful effects to the system, the technician, the occupants of the space, or the environment.” Most acid and alkaline cleaners on the market today clean by causing a chemical reaction between the cleaner and metal that causes pitting, etching, and corrosion of surfaces. These corrosive and caustic substances also emit toxic gases when applied. “We have found from experiments in our laboratory that up to 90 percent of the weight of aluminum coil stock is lost by soaking in these types of cleaners for only four hours. Our goal was to develop a cleaner with the same powerful cleaning action, but without damaging effects of these cleaners. In doing so, we believe we have developed a revolutionary coil cleaning technology,” added Baker.

Power Coil Clean is safe on all metals, including aluminum, copper and sheet metal; it will not stain or bleach materials; it is non-irritating to the skin and user friendly, requiring no special handling, ventilation or clothing. This powerful, environmentally-friendly cleaning technology is made possible via BBJ EnviroGard — an ‘encapsulation control agent’ that regulates the proven cleaning power of ammonium bifluoride without any harm to the surfaces treated and without emitting any toxic gases.

Filthy evaporator, cooling and condenser coils and other components can cause compressors and blowers to work harder leading to premature failure of a system but can also harbor colonies of harmful bacteria and fungi resulting in poor indoor air quality. Spores from these organisms can trigger health and comfort problems from itchy eyes, sinus problems to permanent nervous and respiratory system damage.

Recommended for Preventive Maintenance

Power Coil Clean should be a part of every facility’s equipment and indoor air quality preventive maintenance program. HVAC/R systems should be visually inspected every three months. Dirty components should be cleaned immediately and treated regularly with an antimicrobial agent to inhibit microbial growth.

Beyond mechanically maintaining an HVAC/R system, it is important to remove the buildup of growth of mold and bacteria by cleaning with Power Coil Clean. The clean surfaces are then ready for the application of an anti-microbial surface treatment. BBJ MicroBiocide will create an inhospitable environment for bacteria and mold, and its lingering effects inhibit renewed growth for as long as six months after the application.
