Alkalinity Builders - Hose Couplings and Petroleum Products
Alkalinity builders are marine water-treatment chemicals used to raise or maintain alkalinity and pH in boiler, feedwater, or cooling-water systems. They are separate from marine hose couplings and petroleum products, which require different specifications.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Alkalinity Builders for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.
