SAPONIFYING ANIMAL, VEGETABLE & FATS

Saponification is the alkali-induced process of splitting animal

and vegetable fats to form a soluble soap. TANK CLEAN
ALKALINE breaks oil into fine droplets, which are saponified
easily.

EMULSIFYING MINERAL OILS AND GREASES

Oils that cannot be saponified are removed by emulsification.
