The elements of the Green Strip system are designed to be convenient for every tank cleaning application. They are available individually, pre-mixed, or as concentrate:

Product Description Packaging
Green Strip A nonhazardous, biodegradable, powdered detergent which can replace caustic soda as a cleaner. Green Strip is blended in a 4% by weight solution and applied with a high pressure spinner at 200oF (90oC). We have seen that if caustic will clean a product, Green Strip will clean it, with no chemical burns. In addition, there are some products caustic cannot clean that Green Strip will; including synthetic and natural latex, Duran SL 112, many UN 1866 placarded resins, and some paints and UN 1993/1996 resins. If a product is washed with Green Strip by mistake, it will not set up and if can usually be presolved and washed clean with Green Strip. - MSDS Sheet Available in:
500 lb. drums
50 lb. pails
WS-3 Latex Skin Cutter If latex skins give you trouble, our WS-3 Latex Skin Cutter, also nonhazardous and biodegradable, in a 10% by volume solution with Green Strip eliminates most of the need to scrape latex skins. WS-3 also has an anti-redeposition action so that products recirculated in the wash solution do not contaminate subsequent tanks. - MSDS Sheet Available in:
55 gallon drums
WS-609 Non-hazardous, biodegradable, liquid additive for dried latex skins. New WS–609 saves hand labor. Quick truck turnaround. Cleans Latex skins well with no foam. Economy alternative to Improved WS–3: New surfactant combination allows reduced pricing. Available in:
55 gallon drums
5 gallon pails
Tough Touch Non-hazardous, biodegradable, liquid pre-treatment for really thick interiors. Softens aged and left over latex skins. Dissolves dried-on dome lid latex. Softens and dissolves dribbles down the side. Better cleaning in less time. Available in:
55 gallon drums
5 gallon pails
Victor Foam Cut Some products cleaned with Green Strip/WS-3 will cause excess foaming. A small dose of Victor Foam Cut usually returns foam to acceptable levels. Available in:
5 gallon pails
