Tank Wash Chemicals

USDA-approved, VOC-compliant solutions for food-grade and chemical tanker cleaning operations.

Clean to Specification. Every Time.

Tank wash operations demand chemical precision. Whether you’re cleaning food-grade tankers between loads, removing petroleum residue, or preparing trailers for USDA inspection, Chemex manufactures the specialized solutions your washout facility needs to pass every test.

Our tank wash formulations are designed for both CIP (clean-in-place) systems and manual washout operations, delivering consistent results on stainless steel, aluminum, and lined tanker interiors.
