Tank Hydrocarbon Cleaner, Non-Caustic

Description

Biodegradable Cleaner, Dispersant

General Description

DG-955 is a concentrated, water-soluble, highly rinsable combination of mild natural detergents, surfactants, and grease emulsifiers that will function extremely well in fresh or brine water. The balanced emulsification system and moderate pH is ideally suited for degreasing tanks and barges before welding or personnel entry safely and effectively. DG-955 has been proven to be very effective in cleaning grease, oils, drilling muds, diesel, chemical residues, and hydraulic fluids from metal surfaces. DG-955 will rinse completely clean with water leaving behind a corrosion resistant surface. Safe to use when cleaning potable water tanks. DG-955 is extremely effective when used as an additive in steam injection cleaning.

Application/Dilution

DG-955 is very mild and may be used on any surface not harmed by water. The emulsification properties and moderate pH of DG-955 make it an ideal degreaser and dispersant. DG-955 may be applied by mop, brush, sponge, foam applicator, steam injection, fogging, or pump sprayer. Allow for penetration prior to wash down.
