Conventional materials like lime and soda ash have been used for years and are cheaper per pound - but they are not as effective as specialty reagents chosen for their neutralization power (Ampho-Mag reduces usage by typically 30% and sometime much more). Furthermore, some conventional materials are better on acids and some are better on bases. During an emergency response it is difficult to determine if you need sodium bisulfate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate or another product. Ampho-Mags goal is to reduce the response time necessary for an environmental solution to be put into place. Ampho-Mag can be used on acids, bases, solvents, organic and inorganic solutions. It adsorbs liquids, controls odors and neutralizes gases. The choice becomes even more clear when you compare Ampho-Mag with specialty chemicals like Spill-X®. The use of Spill-X® demands you keep several different types on hand to handle spills - you would need one product for acids, one for caustics, one for solvents and others. Again, Ampho-Mag is a universal solution that simplifies response it offers the ability to stock a single reagent to handle spills. In addition, Ampho-Mag is a cheaper solution. If you average the three Spill-X® chemicals necessary for acids, bases and solvents, Ampho-Mag is typically 30-60% cheaper per pound. And please note that a popular Ampho-Mag packaging is the 3 lb. shaker bottles (not competitor bottles ranging 1.0 to 2.5 lbs. each).
