• Releasit Encap-Punch (4 Gallon) Carpet Cleaning Encapsulation Pre-Spray [Encap]

Releasit Encap-Punch is a 3-in-1 encapsulation detergent engineered for professional carpet cleaning. It functions as an encapsulation pre-spray, traffic lane cleaner, hot-water extraction rinse detergent, and bonnet/pad cleaner, delivering streamlined workflows for commercial facilities and multi-site programs. The formula uses CRYSTALON3 encapsulation polymer to crystallize soils for easy vacuum pickup, reducing resoiling and extending carpet cleanliness. Safe for most synthetic fibers, including stain-resistant varieties, and formulated with near-neutral chemistry when diluted. Packaged as four 1-gallon containers (4 gallons total) for flexible use with truckmount or portable extraction systems.

Features & Specifications

• 3-in-1 Encapsulation Capabilities: Encapsulation pre-spray, traffic-lane cleaner, hot water extraction rinse-detergent, and bonnet/pad cleaner combined to simplify workflows. Traffic-lane pre-spray typically diluted at 12 oz per gallon with an achievable coverage of about 300 sq ft per gallon of ready-to-use solution.
• CRYSTALON3 Encapsulation Polymer: Encapsulates soils by crystallizing them into a dry, brittle film that vacuuming can remove, reducing post-clean residue and resoiling potential.
• Dilution & Coverage Details: Pre-spray dilution is 12 oz per gallon; coverage is approximately 300 sq ft per gallon of RTU solution. Four gallons total yields about 1,200 sq ft of pre-spray coverage, aiding project planning for multi-room jobs.
• HWE Rinse Compatibility & Dilution: When used as an HWE rinse, typical portable/truckmount dilutions are 1–2 oz per gallon for portable extractors and up to 40 oz per 5 gallons (8 oz/gal) for truckmount systems, supporting effective soil suspension during extraction.
• Dwell Time & Soil Types: Allow 5–10 minutes of dwell time for soil mobilization, with performance addressing both oily and water-based soils on synthetic fibers.
• Anti-Resoiling & Anti-Wicking: Crystallized residue resists soil pickup and helps minimize recurring staining and wicking after cleaning.
• Fiber Safety & Compatibility: Safe for most synthetic carpets and upholstery, including stain-resistant nylon; designed for deep soil penetration without damaging synthetic fibers.
• CRI Seal of Approval: The Encap-Punch formulation has earned the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval, confirming cleaning effectiveness and carpet safety.
• Equipment Compatibility: Intended for use with hot-water extraction (truckmount or portable), encapsulation pre-spray, and bonnet/pad cleaning methods. Cimex machines are commonly associated with encapsulation programs, with this product fitting typical encapsulation workflows alongside rotary or orbital extractors.
• Included Packaging: Four (4) 1-gallon containers in each case (total 4 gallons), designed for convenient handling and dilution control.
• pH (Concentrate) & Dilution: Concentrate pH is 8.7; when diluted to an RTU, solution becomes near-neutral, supporting a broad range of carpet types without aggressive fiber attack.
