KEM OR is intended for use in removing oils, greases, asphalt, tars and preservative type materials from metallic and painted surfaces. The compound should be capable of application by swab, brush, spray or soak. It is to be used as received in the container.

KEM OR may be used by soak, brush or spray application as received. Do not dilute. Allow the product to remain on work for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing. Two recommended procedures for spray application are as follows:

1. Apply compound by spray gun at pressure of 4 pounds/square inch. Hold spray nozzle of the gun about 6 inches away from the work. Use a heavy stream of liquid rather than a dispersion. Examine the soil 3 to 5 minutes after application. If the soil is not softened, spray a second application of the compound. Allow 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse by means of a steam jenny at pressure of 40 to 50 pounds/square inch, or if not available, then with hot water preferably at pressure of 25 to 50 pounds/square inch. If water must be avoided, rinse with solvent (according to MIL-PRF-680).
2. Apply compound by spray gun at pressure of 20 pounds/square inch. Hold spray nozzle of the gun about 6 inches away from the work. Do not rinse. In this method the compound may be repeatedly recycled and reused.
