Mudtech Tank Division gains UK patent on BlueRinse® technology

Mudtech Tank Division is pleased to announce that they have been awarded a patent for their innovative BlueRinse® technology.

The first application of this patented technology is their product, Nappy Sack, which is part of the BlueRinse® Textile Range. Launched in 2020, the Nappy Sack makes concrete washout much easier. It is a self-dosing bag which separates the solids, automatically reducing the pH of the water. Engineered with an oil adsorbent liner, which filters down to 20 microns, the fabric also contains Mudtech pH Blue, which is released into the water as it passes through the wall. The collected water will have a pH of approximately 8.5.

 The Nappy Sack is just one of the ground breaking products in Mudtech Tank Divisions growing range, aimed at making concrete washout safer and easier.

 On being awarded the patent, Mark Brooks, Managing Director said; ‘We were delighted to receive confirmation of the patent for our BlueRinse® technology, following years of research and development with the product. We are constantly investigating new ideas, and Mudtech’s pragmatic approach to problem solving, combined with our intuitive and holistic approach to risk assessment, and considering impacts to safety, quality and our shared environment, enables us to deliver cost effective solutions.”

Understanding pH

pH is a measure of how acidic a solution is. For dilute solutions the pH scale ranges from pH 0 to pH 14, pH seven is in the middle and is therefore the neutral point; pH’s less than 7 are acidic and pH’s greater than 7 are alkaline.

Danger of High pH Wash Water

The chemical reaction which causes fresh concrete to slowly stiffen and harden is quite complicated. A by-product of this process is the creation of a highly alkaline chemical that has a natural pH in excess of 12. Drinking water, by comparison, has a pH of around 6.5 to 7.
