Buffer Tank Cleaner – Effective Internal Tank Cleaning Solution

Buffer Tank Cleaner is a high-performance cleaning agent specifically designed to remove tough industrial contaminants such as lead residues, hydrocarbons, chlorides, sulfides, and other impurities from the inner surfaces and pores of zinc silicate and epoxy-coated tanks.

Formulated with controlled alkalinity and effective penetration properties, this cleaner deep-cleans coating pores without compromising the integrity of the tank lining. The presence of ammonia contributes to its cleaning strength, and while the initial pH is alkaline, it stabilizes to a neutral range within 4–5 days—making it safe for tank operations and subsequent maintenance cycles.

BUFFER CLEANER – RXSOL-20-2032-210

Also Known As: Tank Clean Buffer, Careclean Buffer
Product Category: Marine Tank Cleaning Chemical
Application: Zinc-Silicate & Epoxy Coated Cargo Tanks

Product Description

RXSOL Buffer Cleaner – RXSOL-20-2032-210 is a specialized marine tank cleaning and conditioning chemical developed for the effective cleaning of zinc-silicate and compatible epoxy-coated cargo tank surfaces.

The formulation is based on a controlled, mildly acidic cleaning system combined with detergents and surfactants. It is particularly useful as a final cleaning treatment where cargo tanks require removal of traces of lead, hydrocarbons, chloride, sulphide and other difficult residues before loading sensitive or high-purity cargoes.

The product is designed to provide effective cleaning while being suitable for use on properly maintained zinc-silicate tank coatings. Manufacturer information for the comparable Careclean Buffer describes a buffered pH of approximately 5.5 for application on zinc-silicate coated tank surfaces. 

Key Benefits

• Designed for zinc-silicate coated cargo tanks

• Helps remove traces of lead contamination

• Effective against iron stains and discoloration

• Helps remove chloride and sulphide residues

• Useful for removing residual hydrocarbons

• Suitable as a final tank-cleaning treatment

• Mildly buffered acidic formulation

• Non-flammable formulation

• Suitable for marine cargo-tank cleaning operations

Typical Applications

Buffer Cleaner can be used following cargoes such as:

• Leaded gasoline

• Gasoline blends

• MTBE-containing cargoes

• Naphtha

• Hydrocarbon products

• Other cargoes where traces of lead, chloride or sulphide must be removed

The product is particularly useful where tanks need to be prepared for specialty chemicals, high-purity cargoes or subsequent sensitive cargoes.

Application Procedure

Before applying Buffer Cleaner, it is recommended to prewash the tank with hot fresh water.

Spray Application

Prepare a solution using approximately:

1 part Buffer Cleaner : 10 parts fresh water

Apply the diluted solution to the tank surface by suitable spraying equipment. Allow adequate contact time and agitate or wash as required, followed by thorough rinsing.

Recirculation Cleaning

Buffer Cleaner can also be used through a tank recirculation system. The cleaning solution is circulated through the tank washing equipment to improve contact with contaminated surfaces.

Use fresh water only for dilution. Do not dilute with seawater or river water, as dissolved salts and other impurities can adversely affect the cleaning process. 

For difficult contamination, the cleaning procedure may be repeated after inspection.

Typical Technical Characteristics

Actual specifications should always be confirmed against the applicable RXSOL product specification / COA.

Important Precautions

• Use fresh water for dilution.

• Do not use seawater or river water for preparation of the cleaning solution.

• Follow the tank coating manufacturer's compatibility recommendations.

• Rinse the tank thoroughly after cleaning.

• For sensitive cargoes, use a final rinse with suitable clean/chloride-free water where required.

• Follow the product SDS for PPE, handling and disposal requirements.

Packaging

Typical industrial packaging:

• 25 L

• 210 L

Other packaging can be supplied subject to customer requirements.

Why Use Buffer Cleaner?

Buffer Cleaner provides a dedicated solution for cargo tanks where ordinary detergent cleaning may not be sufficient to remove lead traces, chloride, sulphide, iron staining and residual hydrocarbon contamination. Its controlled acidic/buffered cleaning action makes it particularly useful for the final conditioning of coated cargo tanks.
