METALTERJ #1495
Interior Tank Cleaner With Booster Solvent

Liquid detergent for cleaning tank interiors. Use at any concentration in steel, stainless steel, and lined tanks. Use only with caution in aluminum tanks.

Usually the most cost-efficient detergent for removing detergent-resistant substances. The detergent-solvent combination removes many carbonaceous and resinous substances that are difficult or impossible to remove with detergents only. Use at any temperature; but many detergent-resistant substances can be removed only at temperatures over 120F. Has low unstable foam at any temperature.

Dilute in water to suit the job. Recommended dilutions, shown as percent of solution volume: To remove oils, lubricants, Rust Inhibitors, vegetable oils, waxes and similar substances : at least........................................................................................	1% = 1.3oz/gal.
To remove detergent-resistant substances such as some resins, latexes, plastics, intermediates, inks, drawing compounds, asphalt & carbon: usually no more than.................................................................	10% = 12.8oz/gal.
For any unusually severe conditions: as needed up to.................	Full Strength.

Performance Properties & Active Components

Dissolves instantly in hot or cold water; low viscosity assures consistently accurate solutions when fed thru a metering pump or suction device such as a venturi injector.

At recommended use dilutions, it provides:
... Quick wetting, penetration, dispersion, suspension, and solution of solids and oily substances,
... Very low foam at any temperature,
... Prevention of in-wash rust, retardation of after-wash rust,
... Quick, virtually spot-free rinsing, if desired, and scale-free equipment -- both due to low surface tension and deactivation of calcium and other hard water ions.

Contains buffered alkali, organic chelant and sequestrant, organic rust preventive, organic solvent, anionic wetting agent, penetrant and dispersant. Does NOT contain nitrites, chromates or phosphates.
