more cleaner will cause the solution to form in to a jell.
5. When solution is contaminated or spent and needs replacing, cleaning action will drastically slow up and rouleau ers will not get all the way clean.
6. The approximate number of rouleau cleanings per 6 gallon container of “xxxx” is between 30 and 40 cleanings. This range of cleanings is only an approximate and will vary higher or lower depending on how dirty the rouleaux are prior to cleaning.

agree  Khadhé: Par contre, épaissir ne serait pas un équivalent correct ici (un gel n'est pas un liquide épais). D'autre part, la solution n'est pas forcément aqueuse (watery solution). Un gel peut très bien se former dans un solvant organique.

  -> Oui Pascal, c'est tout à fait exact. Je parlais de "watery solution" pour replacer le terme dans ce contexte précis, par opposition à toute autre matière pouvant "prendre corps" (comme un projet par exemple).
