2500 Acid Neutralizer
2500 Acid Neutralizer is a dry powdered material for use in the reduction of the pH of acidic rinse water as it reaches the ground during the cleaning of masonry surfaces. 2500 can be spread around the drop area of a structure or mounded around drains, gutters and hard surface paving to neutralize the acidic rinse water prior to outflow from the work area. In order to meet many EPA requirements, the objective is to adjust the runoff to a pH of 7, plus or minus 1, during the operation. Preparation & Application
Determine the area or areas where rinse water will be flowing from the structure or into the ground. For ground absorption, apply a liberal coating of 2500 to the area where rinse water will come in contact with the soil. The drop area is generally two to three feet from the base of the structure. For drains and hard surface paving, construct a mounded catch barrier two to three inches in height of 2500. All of the effluent requiring neutralization is to pass through this barrier in order to effect neutralization. From time to time, pH paper is to be soaked in the rinse solution after it has passed through the barrier. Compare the color change to the color guide and change the barrier when the pH reading of 6 or lower has occurred. After several readings, a timing factor can be determined as to how often the pH reading might be required. Once the pH exceeds 6, remove and replace the spent material. Dispose of the spent material according to local, state and federal requirements.
Limitations
2500 Acid Neutralizer if for use by professional contractors only. All data applies to ShoreBest products only and may not be applicable to other manufacturers products. Exposure to acids will result in the release of carbon dioxide gas and heat. 2500 Acid Neutralizer is not suitable for indoor use.
Technical Data
50 pounds of 2500 Acid Neutralizer will neutralize one pound-mole of acid. This is roughly equivalent to 12 gallons of concentrated (32%) muriatic acid or 4 gallons of concentrated (49%) HF. Most HF will be converted to an insoluble form. Most properly formulated cleaners are not highly concentrated so the amount of cleaner neutralized will be higher than the figures stated above. *DNA= Does Not Apply Safety
