DREW BC is a buffered, water-based solution of surfactants and neutral salts. It was developed specifically as a zinc safe tank cleaner for zinc silicate coatings on cargo tanks of chemical carriers. Additionally, DREW BC effectively removes traces of gasoline blends, such as those containing MTBE, chloride compounds, sulfide compounds, and other aromatic hydrocarbons, which can be adsorbed into the porous surface of zinc silicate coatings. DREW BC buffering cleaner may be used when cargo residues must be removed, when inert gas stains must be removed, or when the tank has to be completely chloride or sulfide free when shipping pure chemicals.
FEATURES
• pH buffered
• Concentrated
