Biodegradable Fin Fan Cleaning

Our Green SealTM Certified Surfactant for Fin Fan Foam Cleaning

E-6 is rapidly biodegradable. One of the toughest third-party agencies around evaluated it, and it meets the rigorous requirements of the Green Seal™ Standard for Cleaning Products for Industrial and Institutional Use (GS-37).

Green Seal evaluation procedures meet ANSI, ISO 14020 & 14024, and GENICES standards of acceptance.

About Our E-6 Fin Fan Cleaning Chemical

E-6 has exceptional surfactant properties, which lower the surface tension between solids, semi-solids and liquids. This makes our state-of-the-art industrial foam cleaner a highly effective option for your toughest fouling problems.

E-6 is safe for use on most metal and nonmetal surfaces. No discoloration or reactivity occurs on the surfaces it is intended for.

The solution is not flammable or combustible even at its highest concentration. It has virtually no incompatibilities and will not create a flammable atmosphere. Simply put, E-6 is not a fuel source.

E-6 has an end use pH of 8-9 when applied as a foam. This alkaline pH aids in the cleaning process for organics trapped between the fins. The after-rinse dilution process further lowers the pH to near neutral.

Hear From A Customer

“Sierra Chemicals was our first call when we needed help with a plate and fin exchanger that was plugged up. Our exchanger was completely clogged with a mixture of mol sieve dust and heavy hydrocarbons. For us to replace this exchanger, it would involve waiting for 7 months just for the parts to be manufactured at a cost of $500,000, plus an estimated loss of revenue of over $4 million with the plant shutdown it would entail.

Sierra worked with us to come up with a cost-effective solution that was tailored to our needs. Sierra had the system cleaned & flushed with methanol and turned back over to us in just 12 hours. Thanks to Sierra’s chemical cleaning, we were able to extend the lifespan of the exchanger and avoid a costly unplanned shutdown.”
