Chemicals for Concrete & quarrying

A buffered acid replacement - typically urea-hydrochloride based, like Green Acid Replacement - removes the same mixer scale, agi residue and lime build-up as 32% hydrochloric acid on routine cleaning, with far less fume and a lower handling hazard. HCl still has the edge on very heavy, long-set scale; our acid-replacement buyer guide covers the full comparison.

Acid-replacement cleaners and heavy-duty plant degreasers are the top categories. Many plants run a 200 L drum every two to four weeks depending on throughput, and step up to a 1,000 L IBC once usage is steady.

200 L drums suit most single-plant sites; 1,000 L IBCs lower the per-litre cost and cut handling once you are past roughly four to five drums a month. Confirm forklift access and bunding before switching to an IBC.

Acid replacements are inhibited to be gentler on plant metals than hydrochloric acid, but compatibility still depends on the specific product and surface. Check Section 10 of the SDS before first use and test on a small area.

Admixes are usually supplied by the producer's existing technical partner. If you need a specific admix for a project, submit a request via Custom Orders and we'll source it through our manufacturer network.

Orders ship from the nearest of our seven warehouses, so most metro and regional sites are covered on standard freight. Confirm site access and off-loading - a forklift is needed for IBCs - at order time.
