Nerta BC-50 Interior Bulk Carrier Alkaline Cleaner (25 Litre Drum)

Achieve fast, thorough decontamination of bulk cargo hold interiors with the Nerta BC-50 Interior Bulk Carrier Cleaner 25 Litre Drum. Formulated as a powerful, highly concentrated alkaline detergent powered by potassium hydroxide, BC-50 is engineered specifically to dissolve heavy oil, residual grease, and stubborn industrial cargo buildup from bulk carrier hold interiors, tanker compartments, and heavy transport equipment across South Africa.

Advanced Low-Foaming & Water-Softening Formula

Designed for high-pressure spray washing and CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems, Nerta BC-50 incorporates specialized water softeners that actively bind hard mineral deposits to prevent spray nozzle blockages and equipment scaling. Its low-foaming, biodegradable surfactant blend delivers superior wetting and surface moisture penetration, allowing the alkaline solution to break down heavy lipid and grease layers effortlessly without generating excessive foam that hinders rinsing.

Commercial Marine & Industrial Applications

Nerta BC-50 is ideal for shipping lines, marine logistics, bulk transport fleets, and industrial cleaning contractors. It cleans and prepares cargo holds for sensitive product transitions, removing residual grease, animal fats, vegetable oils, and mineral oil stains safely and effectively.
