Komodo Drain Cleaner

Product Overview

Komodo Drain Cleaner is a Technical Grade, concentrated aqueous solution primarily composed of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). Formulated for industrial and commercial facility maintenance, this product functions as a high-alkalinity caustic agent. It is engineered to promote rapid saponification of fats, oils, and grease (FOG), neutralize organic matter, and degrade obstructions within plumbing networks.

With a typical assay of 27.5% NaOH and a pH range of 13–14, this solution delivers robust alkaline activity essential for clearing complex drainage systems and grease traps. The formulation maintains specific gravity consistency (1.1–1.2) for predictable performance. It is compatible with HDPE storage and standard chemical delivery systems. Komodo Drain Cleaner is strictly intended for professional use in industrial sanitation programs, wastewater treatment pH adjustment, and chemical processing.

• Grease Trap Management: Promotes the degradation of grease accumulation in food service and industrial plumbing, preventing blockages in downstream pipes.
• Wastewater Treatment: Functions as a pH adjuster and neutralizing agent in water treatment facilities to stabilize effluent levels.
• Chemical Processing: Acts as a reagent in manufacturing workflows requiring strong bases for saponification or neutralization reactions.
• Surface Preparation: Used in controlled industrial environments for degreasing equipment and stripping organic residues from metal or glass surfaces.

Safety & Handling

Hazmat Warning: This product is a corrosive liquid (UN 1824, Class 8). It causes severe skin burns and eye damage.

Personnel must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, face shields, and protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhalation of mists. Store in a cool, dry area in corrosion-resistant containers (HDPE), strictly separated from acids and organic materials. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed emergency response, spill containment, and disposal protocols.

Benefits

• High Alkalinity: pH 13+ ensures rapid hydrolysis of fatty acids and organic residues.
• Liquid Formulation: Ready-to-use solution eliminates the need for dissolving solid beads or flakes.
• Industrial Strength: Technical grade specification ensures potency for commercial applications.
