Advantages of the CTC-Cleaner-VLC
- Highly concentrated cleaning agent
- Necessary concentration in water only 0,2 to 0,4 %
- Can be used as well in seawater
- Wide range of application
- Quicker drying of cargo tanks (e.g. in winter time)
- Can be mixed with Sodium- or Potassium Hydroxide as well as with alkaline cleaners to produce a more effective alkaline cleaning solution (boosting effect)
- Can be mixed with Citric-, Phosphoric- or Nitric Acid as well as with acid cleaners to produce a more effective acid based cleaning solution (boosting effect)
- The implementation of the CTC-Cleaner-VLC including the additional applicability together with Alkalies and Acids replace a large scale of different individual cleaners and will therefore simplify and economize the tank cleaning process.
