Why Use Solid Chemicals?

Our innovative solid chemical water treatment products are among the safest and most environmentally friendly chemicals to be designed and available for use in the treatment of industrial boilers, cooling towers and cooling systems.

Our high performance chemical products are manufactured in a unique, highly concentrated solid form and utilise proven, state of the art chemical technologies to offer a number of significant operational, safety and environmental benefits over traditional liquid chemical products.

  • Eliminate the inconvenience and safety hazards associated with handling heavy drums, liquids and hazardous chemicals
  • Eliminate employee chemical exposure, liquid pouring and splash hazards
  • Eliminate hazardous chemical spills
  • Eliminate the need for chemical drums, drum storage, disposal and landfill issues
  • Save space or free-up space for alternative purposes
  • Minimise waste and improve environmental performance
  • Reduce warehousing, handling and transportation costs
  • Compatible with existing pumps, controllers and test kits
  • Full technical support and training available
  • Guaranteed quality and performance

Highly Concentrated Products

Our waterless solid chemical products are highly concentrated containing between 97% and 100% active ingredients. No fillers or other product modifiers are added. This makes them both significantly smaller by volume and lighter than their liquid equivalents. They are therefore much easier and safer to handle, store and transport.

Proven, State of the Art Technology

Our solid chemicals use proven, state of the art chemical technologies to deliver like-for-like, or better, scale prevention, corrosion protection, microbial control; and fouling minimisation when compared to their liquid equivalents.

Full Compatability with Pumps, Controllers and Analysis Equipment

Our solid products have been developed to be controlled and analysed using the same pumps, feed activation systems, controllers and test kits as those used in feeding and controlling liquid chemicals.

On line monitoring of system cycles, feed activated by demand, and other types of feed and control are the same as those used for liquid chemicals.

Our solid products require lower solution strengths and because of this, overfeed or underfeed of our products is seldom an issue

Eliminate Manual Handling of Heavy Drums

Using our highly concentrated solid chemical products eliminate the health and safety risks; and liability issues often associated with the handling of heavy drums; and storage of liquids and hazardous chemicals. Our lightweight solid products will not spill or leak making them safe and easy to handle. Our largest bottled product weighs only 5.5kg, and our small baton products generally weigh less than 0.5kg.

Eliminate Chemical Exposure

Our solid chemical products eliminate the potential for chemical contact, health and exposure issues with employees, and customers.

Our products are fully encapsulated in either a 100% recyclable plastic bottle or water soluble wrapper. The chemical dissolution process employed is fully automated using our specialist dosing systems which further eliminates the potential for unwanted chemical contact.

Eliminate Hazardous Spills & Splashes

Our chemical products are manufactured in a solid form and will not spill or leak even if the outer bottle or packaging is damaged. This eliminates the hazards normally associated with punctured drums and hazardous spills; and the need for containment bunding and chemical pouring.

Our solid form chemical products also eliminate the potential for noxious odors or hazardous fumes; often a problem with liquid chemicals.

Save Space or Free-up Space for Alternative Purposes

The storage and warehousing requirements for traditional liquid chemicals can be significant; and sometimes inconvenient where space is limited or required for alternative purposes. Such storage problems are often exacerbated by the additional requirement to store used and empty drums prior to disposal.

Such storage and warehousing problems are virtually eliminated with our solid products which come in small volume plastic bottles (5.5 Kg) and even smaller solid batons (0.5 Kg), packed in recyclable cardboard boxes.

The additional storage problems presented by used and empty drums are completely eliminated as the empty plastic bottles and outer cardboard boxes can simply be recycled as general waste.

Additionally, all our dosing systems are designed to be wall mounted. This minimises the space required for equipment and chemicals and keeps working areas neat and tidy; and free from tripping hazards.

Go Green - Mininise Waste and Improve Environmental Performance

Our highly concentrated solid chemical products are engineered to be fully consumed at the point of application to leave no waste. Our product packaging, which includes the individual plastic bottles and containers holding the chemical; and the outer cardboard packaging are also designed to be 100% recyclable.

Our solid baton products are packaged in an innovative, water soluble wrapper thereby eliminating waste packaging, chemical contact; health and exposure issues.

Eliminate Empty Drum Storage, Drum Disposal and Landfill Issues

The fact that all our product bottles and outer packaging can be easily recycled as general waste also eliminates the empty drum storage, drum disposal and landfill issues that come with traditional liquid products.

Reduce Transport, Warehousing & Handling Costs

Generally, one case of our highly concentrated, waterless solid chemical weighs less than 22 Kg but will deliver as much active chemical as 115 to 375 litres of a liquid (depending on the manufacturers’ solution strength). A 200 litre drum of liquid chemical typically weighs over 220 Kg.

Containing no water makes our solid products significantly smaller by volume and lighter than their traditional liquid chemical equivalents making them easier to move around and store. As a result, warehousing, transportation and handling costs can be significantly reduced.
