Dirty drains can pose serious challenges for businesses involved in food processing or preparation. Moisture and organic matter create ideal conditions inside drainage pipes for the development of stubborn grime and biofilms. These buildups can accumulate rapidlyโup to an inch per dayโleading to pooling, odors, clogs, and even the risk of cross-contamination, all of which can strain operational efficiency and sanitation protocols.
Our drain products release cleaning agents over time when exposed to water, helping to reduce buildup and support ongoing cleanliness. This time-release action helps maintain a cleaner environment between manual cleanings, especially in hard-to-reach or often-overlooked areas.
Heat stress can have devastating impacts on livestock and greenhouse crops. Evaporative cooling systems help keep animals, plants, and farm workers comfortable during hot weather. Unfortunately, cooling pads and evaporative cooling equipment are susceptible to mineral buildup that can cause corrosion and prevent air from flowing through cooling pads. Time-release Cooler Guard is a product that keeps mineral scale in suspension, preventing scale buildup on pads.
Cooler Guard also has another great benefit! Cooler Guard's ability to keep scale in suspension, allows users to run the unit with the bleed-off valve turned off, saving a significant amount of water.
HVAC/R units need to stay clean for proper heat exchange and drainage. Our products go beyond cleaning with long-term preventative maintenance. In addition to professional strength coil cleaners, we developed micro coatings that prevent buildup, mildew, and mineral scale. Our coatings are easy to use and won't inhibit heat transfer. Our outdoor coating even prevents corrosion caused by salt spray in coastal areas. Plus, our water treatments prevent pooling, clogging, and overflow in drain pans.
InstaCleanCIP: premeasured powder coil cleaners. These 4oz packs are easy to carry, safe on fins, but powerful on buildup.
First Strike MICRO COAT: Sheets water, preventing buildup and mildew on evaporator coils.
Coil Shield: Make condenser coils weatherproof.
Algae Guard (EPA registered) and PanGuard (Green Certified) keep drain pans clean and prevent overflows.
HVAC units are a significant investment, and our repair products are designed to extend their lifespan by addressing common issues like leaking drain pans and corroded metals. Most restorations can be completed in the evenings or over a single weekend, minimizing downtime. Our advanced roll-on coating fills fine cracks and pinholes, halting further corrosion and protecting critical components. For a seamless and permanent solution to damaged drain pans, Pancrete, our self-leveling replacement, pours over the old pan, making it easy to install and ensuring long-lasting durability.

Coolers remove warm air to provide a cold environment that keeps perishable products cool, preventing dangerous growth. Unfortunately, these systems are prone to buildup that can inhibit heat transfer. The accumulation also clogs drain pans, leading to foul odors, pooling, and overflows that leak into walkways. First Strike MICRO COAT prevents coil buildup, while our water treatments keep drains clean, preventing odors and clogging. We have green certified or EPA registered water treatments available.
Drains can accumulate growth at alarming rates. It can lead to clogging, pooling, foul odors, overflows, and cross-contamination. Controlled Release Technologies has products to treat water at every point of drainage systems. We have green-certified or EPA registered products to fit every need. Our time-release products clean continuously in the presence of water. They're easy to use, won't dissolve, and can treat systems for up to a month. In addition to continually cleaning and promoting clean drainage systems, our products maintain BOD5 requirements.
Drain Rings form to circular 6-8 inch sanitary drains, to treat water as it enters.
Trench Clean has a long slender design to fit slot or trench drains. It comes with a shock control disk to secure it at any point of the drainage system.
