CRC SmartWasher OzzyMat FL-4 Multi-Layer Filter

CRC SmartWasher OzzyMat FL-4 is a multi-layer filter mat for the SmartWasher system that carries Ozzy microbes into the fluid. CRC's technical data sheet calls it a multi-layer fluid activation mat.

CRC's catalogue describes four white layers and one blue layer. The white layers trap particulate larger than 50 microns and are peeled away once a week; the coloured layer is the support structure that contains the microbes. CRC recommends it for normal to heavy parts cleaning applications.
