A good cleaning unmasks the true beauty of brick, stone, and other masonry materials. When cleaning old or new masonry construction, it is important to use products that are formulated for safely removing built-up dirt and grime without damaging the surface of the material. If the wrong product is used, the appearance of the masonry could be compromised beyond repair.
One of our clients in the construction services industry consumes 4,000 gallons of masonry cleaner on a weekly basis. By working with them upfront to understand their requirements, we developed a raw material procurement strategy and efficient process flow for safely mixing a proprietary blend of hydrochloric acid and gluconic acids. After we custom blend the masonry cleaner, we package it in five-gallon pails for easy handling by their masonry cleaning crews.
At E & C Chemicals, we have a professional chemist on staff to ensure that the hydrochloric and gluconic acids are present in the proper concentrations to effectively clean masonry without risk of marring or damage. Under strict supervision, certified personnel follow a rigid set of safety rules for handling hazardous and corrosive materials when they are blending the mixture and filling it into pails. Our supervisors also carefully control the ingredients, dosages, and mix times to ensure uniform consistency from batch to batch.
We make regular weekly deliveries of 800 five-gallon pails. Our client who is located in the Northeast United States is impressed with our ability to reliably deliver consistent quality product each week.
The effectiveness of this cleaner allows cleaning to take place in an expedited manner. It also makes a remarkable improvement in the aesthetics and appearance of masonry while preserving its surface integrity.
