I Just received samples of the thickest surfactant I have ever seen.
This stuff makes Ammonyx LO and Ammonyx M look like water.
I am not entirely sure if it is unconditionally chlorine stable, or not ?
The Chemist who suggested it said we may not need unconditional Chlorine Stability, since we are using our stuff in a short period of time.
It IS related to Lauramine and Myrastamine (Ammonyx LO and Ammonyx MO) so it does have some degree of Chlorine Stability, built in.
This stuff is actually thicker then Molasses, it is already a Gel!
IF the cost of this is anywhere comparable to Ammonyx, the game has changed, but only for those looking for viscosity.
You MAY not WANT Viscosity Folks ?
Hard to beat good old tried and true Ammonyx and it's relatives for roof cleaning and soft washing. Thick solutions can be a bitch to rinse out of screens, etc, etc, so remember that ?
But for ONLY cleaning roofs, it is my opinion a thick gel type mix is hard to beat.
My Son Jamie will be testing this very soon, he is extremely excited

Thick is what I'm after! I want a SLOW RUN!

I'm looking forward to hearing more!!!

I MAY keep this one to myself Chuck, or sell it myself to other roof cleaners ?

WHY give it away to distributors ? Every day, here in Tampa, I face my competitors who buy my roof cleaning discoveries from distributors, and i don't make chit from it!

Not a day goes by my guys don't face some competitor who is armed with my best roof cleaning technology, simply because they picked up the phone.

We have a huge tile roof cleaning today to do in South St Pete, and a 2 story huge screen room. We did not want to test the thick gel surfactant on THIS job.

It is a steep barrel tile roof we are doing, and one must be careful with surfactants on glazed barrel tile roofs. Some surfactants, Dawn in particular, make tile roofs extremely slippery and dangerous! We greatly prefer Ammonyx over Dawn, especially on slippery Tile Roofs

Thicker isn't always better! wink

As you well know we also have been working on a cost effective Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Solution. Here is a video of it firing out bubbles with zero SH smell.
