Never Deal With Spent Acid Solution Again

PRO-pHx Celebrates 24 Year In 2024!

PRO-pHx is pronounced “pro-fix”
The name PRO-pHx is a play on the forward motion (PRO)
of the potential hydrogen (pH) to react in acid
as generated by the catalyst (x). PRO-pHx

ELIMINATE ACID DISPOSAL
Become A ZERO Acid Disposal Company

P2 Enviro Solution – Never Deal With Acids Saturated
With Metals And Organics Again

Galvanizing, Anodizing, Electroplating, Wire and Rod Plants, Steel Mills, Circuit Board Printing, Gravures & All Industries Requiring Acids. PRO-pHx Provides an Answer for the High Cost of Acid Disposal & Acid Replacement For Industry’s Acids Used in Activation, Passivation, Stripping, Pickling, Electropolishing & 

Effective in the following Acids and Acid Blends including:

Acidic & Phosphoric & Nitric
Sulfuric
Citric
Nitric & Ammonium Bi-fluoride
Nitric & Phosphoric
Sulfuric & Phosphoric
Nitric & Hydrofluoric
Tri-acid

Hydrochloric / Muratic
Nitric
Phosphoric
Acid Salts
Sulfuric & Oxalic
Hydrochloric & Acid Salts
Sulfuric & Hydrofluoric
Acidic/ Phosphoric/Nitric

Dry Salts: The dosages work just the same as with the liquid measure. Add 1%
PRO-pHx to total tank volume at makeup. Add 1% PRO-pHx to the calculated liquid volume of future additions. For example: Your client uses acid salts at 2 ounces per Liter. For every 2 ounces of acid salts added, use .02 Liters of PRO-pHx.

Effective in controlling the buildup of Organics and Metals including:

Aluminum
Antimony
Arsenic
Barium
Boron
Cadmium
Calcium
Chromium

Cobalt
Cu/not for Cu immersion
Iron
Lead
Magnesium
Manganese
Mercury

Molybdenum
Nickel
Silicon
Silver
Thallium
Titanium
Vanadium
Zinc

PRO-pHx Maintained Acids Continue To Perform As New INDEFINITELY

PRO-pHx Reagent Chemistry drops metals and organics impurities out of solution which build up in the pickling, stripping, activation, passivation and cleaning process. This “frees up” the remaining available acid in solution, extending the acid life indefinitely, decreasing the quantity of new acid necessary to maintain the desired production acid to water ratio. The only replacement acid necessary is the small amount lost during drag out, and evaporation. Filtration is necessary. A Minimum of weekly Acid Spikes are also necessary to keep the catalyst working effectively.

PRO-pHx Provides a First Generation Answer For The High Cost
Of Acids and Acid Disposal.

PRO-pHx Is Inorganic, Odorless Treatment And Has No Fuming Or Outgassing.
Meets OSHA-20 Non – Hazardous Specifications.

NON – TOXIC    •    NON – FLAMMABLE    •    NON – ACID    •    NON – HAZARDOUS
