Environmentally Friendly Solutions That
Replace Hazardous Cleaning Chemicals
BioT Products Are:

Non-toxic Non-caustic Non-corrosive Biodegradable Cost effective

Manufacturers across the U.S. are recognizing the health and environmental hazards associated with the use of caustic, high alkaline cleaners in their dip tank cleaning processes.

Biodegradable, non-toxic, non-corrosive Bio T 300B is achieving tremendous results. Besides creating a safer workplace, users are enjoying many cost-saving benefits. 

Increased bath life – 12 months or longer.
Reduced energy costs – 300B is not heated.
Reduced hazardous waste disposal.
Improved worker safety.
Reduced rejection rate.

BioChem Systems® has been working alongside the metalworking industry to create a safer pre-coating/pre-bonding cleaning system and reduce environmental concerns. All natural Bio T® 300B is playing a key role. 

Bio T 300B is ideal for immersion cleaning applications. Its special formulation allows grease, oil and other organic contaminants to be quickly removed from the surface being cleaned. And it’s safe for workers and the environment.

BioChem Systems’ research and development chemists have documented the most frequently asked questions regarding the switch to Bio T 300B. We believe the answers will help you better understand the many benefits of our unique product.


Q. What will Bio T 300B clean?

A. Bio T 300B is specifically formulated for the metalworking
industry. Its powerful formula effectively cleans:

• adhesive residue 
• petroleum-based oils
• water-miscible oils
• petroleum-based greases
• water-miscible greases
• wax and paraffins
• paint overspray
• printing inks – solvent and soy (water) based
• polishing compounds 
• oil-based sludges
• tar
• untreated polymers
• lapping compounds

Q. Is Bio T 300B caustic or corrosive?

A. Absolutely not! Bio T 300B is composed of all-natural
degreasers with a neutral pH. It eliminates many of the worker
safety issues that exist with caustic cleaning processes.
Employees who work around caustic cleaners are at risk of being
burned by these high pH chemicals.

Bio T 300B is non-corrosive, and will not harm aluminum, cast
bronze, chrome, copper, nickel, fiberglass, stainless steel,
Teflon, titanium or other non-metallic surfaces. Because of this,
users experience prolonged equipment (tanks, pumps, piping) life
and reduced equipment replacement costs.

Q. Does Bio T 300B need to be heated to be effective?

A. No. Unlike caustic cleaners that must be heated to
approximately 160°F, Bio T 300B is highly effective at room
temperature. Turning off the tank heater creates a significant
reduction in energy consumption. With soaring energy prices, the
result is a significant cost savings!

Additionally, the heating of caustics causes the release of
harmful vapors into the work environment. Employees report
persistent coughing and burning in their lungs from continuous
exposure to these caustic vapors. Because 300B is used at room
temperature, employees are not exposed to harmful vapors.

Q. What is the expected bath life for a Bio T 300B
immersion system?

A. As long as proper concentration is maintained, the tank can
be filtered and used repeatedly for 12 months or longer. Caustic
immersion tanks must be taken out of service and drained and
refilled every two to three weeks. With Bio T 300B, you simply
check the concentration level and top off the tank, so the process
line is never out of service.

Q. What is the proper dilution ratio for cleaning with
Bio T products?

A. A 10 to 15 percent concentration of Bio T products in water is
strong enough for most cleaning requirements. 

Q. What is the proper dilution ratio for cleaning with
Bio T products?

A. A 10 to 15 percent concentration of Bio T products in water is
strong enough for most cleaning requirements. The following table
provides guidelines for typical cleaning applications.

Q. Is Bio T biodegradable? Can we safely dispose of it in
the sewer line?

A. Bio T 300B is completely biodegradable and safe for the
environment. The sludge produced during its biodegradation
leaves a favorable environment for anaerobic organisms present in
the digester used to reduce the sludge. Therefore, if materials to
be cleaned with Bio T are not hazardous, the waste water
generated in a cleaning process can be discharged into city
sewage treatment plants. Bacteria will convert the waste into safe
natural products. If materials to be cleaned are hazardous, waste
water pre-treatment operations (carbon absorption, air stripping,
etc.) need to be developed prior to discharging the waste from Bio
T cleaning into the sewer line. Contact a local or state waste
water authority for further identification and proper disposal of
waste.
