DESCRIPTION

TankCare Bright is a premium, high-quality acidic tank cleaner formulated with surfactants to effectively remove white residues from epoxy coatings remaining after carriage of fatty acids (such as Stearin, Olein, Palm fatty acid etc.), stains, and upgrades coated cargo tanks. It’s also suitable for cleaning pipelines and tanks from rust and light stains.

APPLICATION

TankCare Bright is used on stained or corroded tank surfaces, pipes, and various metal surfaces. Not to be used on surfaces coated with Zinc Silicate coatings.

USE AND DOSING

Instructions are based on experience and are meant only as a guide since circumstances for each tank cleaning operation vary. They are not intended to interfere with the judgment of the vessel’s responsible personnel.

Before using TankCare Bright, it should be diluted. Because it is an acid, always add TankCare Bright to water, never the reverse. Always consult safety instructions and wear appropriate safety equipment. It is recommended to remove dirt, rust flakes, and heavy oil/fat contamination before applying chemicals.

Recirculation Method: Prepare a 2-5% solution of TankCare Bright in fresh water, adjusting the concentration for heavily contaminated surfaces. Recirculate the solution in the tanks to be cleaned for 2-6 hours. For optimal results, heat the solution to approximately 50^oC. One solution typically cleans 3-4 tanks. Rinse the tank with seawater or freshwater.

Spraying Method: Prepare a 30-50% solution of TankCare Bright in fresh water. Spray the contaminated areas and avoid allowing the acid solution to dry on the surface. Rinse the tank with seawater or freshwater. Steam the tank if necessary.

Removal of rust stains on painted surfaces: Use an 8-25% solution and rinse off with water 15-20 minutes after application.

Severely corroded surfaces and pickling of welding repairs: Use a 50% solution, or even undiluted if necessary.

PRODUCT PROPERTIES

Do not use on surfaces coated with Zinc Silicate coatings. Long term exposure may lead to corrosion of mild steel, cast iron, aluminum and alloys, brass, tin or galvanized material. It is recommended to test all cleaning chemicals on a small area of tank coating, before full scale application.
