Performance Details

At the 5 micron level - the surface of steel cleaned with SC PRO is smoother resulting in less required molten zinc for a finished galvanization. Acid alone without SC PRO will de-nature the metal surface, and create micro-pores that have require higher levels of zinc in order to create a fully galvanized product. SC PRO is anti-corrosive and limits acid reaction with surface soiling, oxidation, and surface oils. The reduction of surface pore limits the amount of zinc required, and more importantly the cleaner finish of steel prior to galvanization limits the amount of zinc ash formation in the kettle.

Regulatory Environment

SC PRO meets product California requirements for industrial detergents and does not require speciality classification or permit to be sold or used. 3rd Party testing is currently underway for for additional certificates on mammal, aquatic toxicity reports.

Product Disposal

SC PRO is fully biodgradable both in production and elimination, recycles through BETA acid recuperation systems, and has a net positive environmental impact by combining degrease and pickling processes into a single step at room temperature, saving production plants natural gas and/or other fuel inputs compared with traditional processes. The product eliminates the need for additional expensive and now redundant anti-corrosion, and anti-vapor products, and lowers required zinc ash formation in the final kettle stage by 20% to 50%. Finally as the product is free of oils and alkalines, the production of wasteful zinc iron ash in the kettle is minimized and has steel at the 5 micron level is smoother with less micro-pores - less zinc ore is required for galvanization.

The product is removed as waste through already existing plant acid recuperation systems that recycle plant acids. Almost all galvanizers recycle and filter acid, separating iron ore residue removed through pickling and galvanization from the acid wash. This is done through acid recuperation systems that pump water and other chemicals to filter and reinstate the acid balance. Any waste in the acid wash is either disposed, sold and or used in the production of mineral rich fertilizers. As a biodegradable product, any residue of SC PRO in the waste is evaporated or decomposed of naturally in the waste. As an industrial surfactant with a neutral pH, the product does not affect drain systems, local water codes in California or fertilizer formation.
