Restore strip rate and push more throughput without dumping the entire bath.
When strip rate slides, operators face long cycle times, rework, and unplanned dumps. Every bath change halts production, burns man-hours, spikes waste hauling, and throws off compliance reporting. Loaded tanks can foul filtration and leave uneven remnants on complex geometries, especially when coatings start to overrun your baseline spec.
SaraWest Tank Strip Activator is engineered to restore the working strength of Tank Strip 7 baths as they load with dissolved and swollen coatings. The additive replenishes key actives and solvency, helps keep resins dispersed, and maintains predictable kinetics. Dose on demand to bring times back to spec and stretch bath capacity by multiple turns, with no requalification. Purpose-built for Tank Strip 7, it integrates cleanly with your existing temperature, materials, and filtration SOPs.
Blended in Pampa, Texas inside our 30,000 sq ft plant, this is the kind of quiet problem-solver we’ve honed across four decades of formulation and scale-up. We supply it white-label in 33.8 oz, 1.3 gal, and 5 gal, with your brand, your label, and your paperwork. Use our chemistry, keep your name, and keep your lines moving.
- Replenishes actives to restore strip kinetics without full tank replacement.
- Controls resin loading to reduce sludge formation and filter blinding.
- Dose-on-demand approach cuts downtime and labor tied to bath changes.
- Formulated specifically to match Tank Strip 7 operating chemistry.
- Consistent, tight-spec blend manufactured under documented QC in Texas.
- Private-label ready with compliant labeling and case coding.
Pre-check: Verify the bath is Tank Strip 7 and within your normal operating spec. Record current strip time and temperature. Wear appropriate PPE and ensure good ventilation and agitation.
Initial dosing: Start with 0.5–1.0% by bath volume. Add slowly to the tank with circulation running. Allow 15–30 minutes of mixing to homogenize. Resume processing and recheck strip time.
Adjustment: If cycle time remains above target, add in 0.5% increments up to a typical total addition of 3%. Maintain your established Tank Strip 7 temperature setpoint; many operations run 70–120°F. Do not exceed cumulative additions of 8–10% of the original bath charge before planning a partial bleed or full changeout.
Compatibility: Use only in Tank Strip 7 systems. Do not add to acidic, oxidizing, or peroxide baths. Keep filtration, skimming, and water balance per your SOP. Document additions to maintain repeatability.
- Extend bath life by 30–60% before scheduled changeout.
- Recover target strip times within 10–20% of baseline.
- Cut unplanned tank dumps by 1–3 per quarter.
- Reduce waste disposal volume per month by 20–40%.
- Increase usable throughput hours between maintenance windows.
Buying direct from SaraWest removes distributor markup and guesswork. You get the team that built the formula and tunes it to the parent chemistry, not a generic rebrand. We blend and QC in Pampa, Texas, so supply is predictable and lead times are short. Private label is straightforward: your brand on proven chemistry, supported by formulation depth, documentation, and disciplined manufacturing.
