Buffer Cleaner is for zinc and epoxy based tank coatings.
BUFFER CLEAN will clean and upgrade coated cargo tanks after cargoes such as leaded gasoline, gasoline blends containing MTBE, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride as well as virgin naphtha.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE/APPLICATIONS & DOSAGE RATES : Before cleaning with Careclean Buffer it is recommended to prewash with hot water.
Never dilute BUFFERCLEAN with seawater of river water. For solutions always use freshwater.
HAND SPRAYING METHOD
1. Apply 1 litre undiluted BUFFERCLEAN per 10 Ltr of Water
2. Let the cleaner penetrate for 30-45 minutes
3. Wash down with freshwater and check results preferably with a wall wash test kit.
NOTE: Heat is achieved by the use of a heat exchanger, steam coils or live steam injection. The advantages of this method are that heat and chemicals are recovered and can be used again to clean additional tanks. It is important to use fresh water only. The use of river- or seawater will cause a reaction which decreases the efficiency of the solution for tank cleaning.
Buffer Cleaner – Cost-Effective Deep Pore Cleaner for Zinc Silicate & Epoxy Coatings
Buffer Cleaner is a powerful and cost-effective solution specially formulated to remove contaminants such as lead, hydrocarbons, chlorides, sulfides, and other impurities embedded deep within the pores of zinc silicate and epoxy coatings. Designed for industrial applications, it ensures the surface is thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated, helping maintain coating integrity and enhance long-term performance.
By penetrating deep into the porous structure of protective coatings, Buffer Cleaner prepares surfaces for further treatment or repainting, preventing adhesion failures and corrosion under coatings.
Neutral pH Tank Cleaner is a specially formulated, non-corrosive cleaning solution designed for the safe and efficient cleaning of storage tanks, chemical tanks, and process vessels. Its neutral pH formulation ensures that it is gentle on sensitive surfaces such as epoxy, polyurethane, and zinc silicate coatings, while still effectively removing dirt, light oils, grease, residues, and contaminants.
Ideal for industries requiring regular tank maintenance without the risks of acidic or highly alkaline cleaners, this cleaner provides powerful cleaning performance without harming surfaces or causing corrosion.
Neutral pH – Safe for coated and uncoated surfaces
Non-corrosive – Ideal for metal and composite tank interiors
Removes residues, grime, oils, and light scaling
Suitable for marine, chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries
Eco-friendly, biodegradable, and user-safe
Compatible with manual cleaning, pressure washing, or circulation systems
Cleaning of storage tanks, mixing tanks, reactor vessels, and pipelines
Suitable for maintenance shutdowns or regular cleaning cycles
Safe for use in environmentally sensitive areas
Recirculation Method – Highly Effective & Recommended Tank Cleaning Technique:
1. Make a 10% solution in freshwater in a slop (solution) tank.
2. Heat the solution to a maximum of 60.C.
3. Wash tanks by recirculation for 60 minutes.
4. Usually one solution is used for washing 3-6 tanks
5. Rinse with freshwater and check the results
6. For chloride-free cleaning and passing chloride test use chloride-free De-Ionised Water for the final rinse.
Recirculation Method Recirculation is . In this method a chemical solution is pumped via a closed loop through a mechanical tank washing machine.
The Recirculation Method is a highly effective and industry-recommended technique for cleaning tanks, pipelines, and other enclosed systems. This method involves continuously pumping the cleaning solution—such as a neutral pH or alkaline tank cleaner—through the system in a closed loop, ensuring thorough removal of contaminants, residues, oils, and deposits from all internal surfaces.
Recirculation ensures maximum contact time, uniform distribution, and minimal chemical wastage, making it ideal for cleaning chemical storage tanks, marine tanks, heat exchangers, and process vessels.
Efficient & Uniform Cleaning of all internal surfaces
Reduces manual cleaning effort and downtime
Minimizes chemical consumption through reuse in the loop
Maintains controlled temperature and concentration for optimal performance
Suitable for large tanks, complex pipework, and hard-to-reach areas
Neutral pH Tank Cleaners for sensitive coatings
Alkaline/solvent-based degreasers for heavy-duty cleaning
Ideal for food-grade, pharmaceutical, chemical, and marine applications
Tank Clean Buffer Solution, Careclean Buffer 210 Ltr
Buffer Cleaner will in a cost effective way remove lead, hydrocarbons, chloride, sulphides etc. from the pores of zinc silicate and epoxy coatings. It has been designed with a pH value of 5.5 for safe application on these types of cargo tank coatings.
The ordinary cleaning method with a synthetic soap takes a long time and is insufficient in removing the described contaminants. A week acid solution in combination with synthetic soap gives a much better cleaning result.
BUFFER CLEAN is used as a final cleaning procedure when the cargo tanks have to be completely free of lead, chlorides, sulphides or MTBE prior to loading of special high purity cargoes.
