Commercial overview

This product page is a sourcing profile for a high-foam surfactant concentrate used in exterior wash programs. We align the surfactant system and performance targets to your wash equipment, soils, water hardness, and finish requirements. Final specifications are confirmed on quotation.

Procurement-ready

Repeatable supply lane with quote-confirmed spec, packaging, and documentation set.

Performance-tuned

Foam and detergency configured for foam lance, brush wash, or pressure wash application.

Documentation pack

SDS / COA and (where applicable) TDS, batch traceability, and export docs.

Key benefits

  • High foam for dwell time and visual coverage (especially with foam lances)
  • Strong wetting and soil lift for road film, traffic grime, dust, and light oils
  • Controlled rinsability to reduce streaking and speed rinse-down
  • Compatible program options: neutral-to-mild alkaline profiles and additives per process
  • Packaging options for service facilities: drum / IBC / bulk (as applicable)
Procurement note
If you already use a truck wash or car wash soap, share its dilution, foam method, and any issues (streaking, residue, poor foam, slow rinse). We’ll match the performance profile and recommend equivalents or upgrades.

Applications

Typical usage patterns for high-foam surfactant concentrates. Final use instructions depend on your equipment, water, and soil load.

  • Fleet wash bays (trucks, buses, delivery vehicles)
  • Heavy equipment cleaning (construction, mining, agricultural machines)
  • Workshop/service facilities (routine exterior wash and pre-rinse programs)
  • Pressure washer detergent feed systems and foam lances/cannons
  • Brush wash and manual bucket wash (when high foam is desired)
  • Pre-soak for insects/traffic film (process-dependent)

Surface & material considerations

Exterior wash programs often include mixed substrates. We align the chemistry to reduce risk while meeting cleaning needs. Always spot-test on sensitive finishes.

Paint & clear coat

Neutral to mild-alkaline options to reduce finish stress; rinse profile tuned to reduce streaking.

Aluminum & alloys

Aluminum-sensitive options available; share alloy exposure (wheels, tanks, trim) and constraints.

Rubber, seals, plastics

Surfactant blend selected for compatibility screening; confirm with your OEM guidance where required.

Typical specifications & formats

Targets vary by grade and customer requirements. Confirm the final specification, packaging, and documentation on quotation.

Quality & documentation

Product type

Surfactant concentrate (vehicle wash / exterior cleaning)

Configured for foam and detergency; optional additives by requirement.

Foam profile

High foam (tunable)

Options for persistent foam (dwell) or faster break (rinse speed).

Cleaning performance

Wetting, soil lift, and rinse control

Designed for road film, dust, salt, and general traffic grime.

pH profile (typical options)

Neutral to mild alkaline

Selected based on finish sensitivity and soil load.

Water tolerance

Hard water tolerant options

Tell us hardness (ppm as CaCO₃) if available for best matching.

Packaging

Drums / IBC / bulk (as applicable)

Export packing and labeling aligned to destination needs.

Documentation set

SDS / COA / TDS (on request)

Batch traceability and supporting paperwork for shipment where applicable.

Storage & handling

Closed containers, cool/dry storage

Avoid freezing/overheating; keep caps sealed to reduce contamination.

Customization

Foam, fragrance, color, and additives (as feasible)

Tell us if you need low odor, dye-free, or specific pump compatibility.

Technical note
Surfactant selection can include anionic/nonionic/amphoteric components plus hydrotropes and builders depending on the target. If you have constraints (silicone-sensitive environments, fragrance-free, dye-free, specific OEM requirements), include them in the RFQ.

Specifications may vary depending on grade, origin, and packaging selection. Always confirm the final offer and documentation set before procurement.

Process fit & wash program guidance

Vehicle wash outcomes depend as much on process as chemistry. For best results, share your wash sequence and equipment so we can align the profile.

Sequence

Pre-rinse → foam apply → dwell → agitation (if used) → rinse.

We can recommend where this fits alongside pre-soaks or specialty removers.

Temperature

Cold to warm water use

Performance and foam can change with temperature; we tune accordingly.

Hardness

Scaling/soap interaction control

Hard water may reduce foam and detergency—tell us your conditions.

Common problems we solve

  • Foam collapses too quickly (adjust blend and hydrotrope balance)
  • Slow rinsing or streaking (optimize surfactant/rinse profile)
  • Poor road-film removal (increase wetting and soil lift; review dwell/agitation)
  • Hard-water performance drops (hardness-tolerant options)

FAQ

Quick answers for procurement and wash-program alignment.

Is it safe on wax and coatings?

Options can be aligned to finish sensitivity. Share your constraints (wax-safe, ceramic coatings, matte paint) so we can match the profile. Always spot-test before full deployment.

Can it be used with foam cannons?

Yes—foam performance depends on the cannon/lance ratio, nozzle, and water. Provide your setup so we can recommend a starting dilution.

Do you supply in drums or IBC?

Packaging is offered based on supply lane and destination. Typical options include drums and IBC, with bulk available where applicable.

What documents can you provide?

SDS and COA are available on request. Depending on destination and lane, we can support additional documentation aligned to shipment.

Can you adjust foam level?

Foam can be tuned (more persistent vs quicker break) to match dwell time, rinse time, and wash method.

What if we need stronger cleaning?

If you have heavy grease, tar, or industrial fallout, we can recommend complementary products (pre-soak, degreaser, specialty removers) based on your process.

Request a quotation

Share your wash method, target performance, packaging, and destination. We’ll confirm availability, documentation, and the best-fit specification for your use case.

Typical buyers

Fleet operators, wash facilities, service centers, industrial sites.

Commercial terms

Lead time and pricing depend on volume, lane, and destination.

Samples

Where feasible, sampling can be discussed for qualification programs.

Tip: Include a photo of the wash setup (foam cannon, injector, pressure washer) and the main soil type—this speeds up spec matching.
