Applications

Heavy Oil Sludge Cleaning

Even in small concentrations, Micro-Cleen 12-7’s proprietory sulfur chemistry deeply penetrates heavy sludge and can adsorb toxic gases entrapped in it.

Metal Cleaning

Micro-Cleen 12-7 is an ideal surfactant additive for metal cleaning formulations because it effectively removes deposits while inhibiting corrosion in equipment where scale sometimes forms due to heat exchange and water circulation.

Metal Passivation

Micro-Cleen 12-7’s anti-corrosion properties make it suitable to be used in acidic formulations for pickling without the unexpected, noxious and dangerous effects of traditional anti-corrosive additives.

Electronics Cleaning

Micro-Cleen 12-7’s properties make it suitable not only for cleaning but also for preventing corrosion in electronic surface preparation processes such as circuit board printing and chemical mechanical polishing.

Antimicrobial Formulations

Micro-Cleen 12-7’s non-ionic surfactant structure enhances the solubility of antimicrobial agents in antiseptic formulations.

There are many other applications where Micro-Cleen^TM 12-7 is highly effective as an additive. These include oil recovery from reservoirs, bioremediation, agriculture, ink printing, catalysis and much more.
